these sort of compositional rules are horseshit, you can draw a bunch of lines on an image at random and see it line up with just as much stuff

mentlers stuff looks pretty aesthetic to me

Oh lord OP, you have only scratched the surface. I can only begin to list the innumerable sins that form the homogenous legion of poor taste that is the concept art industry or just general "Artstation-core" aesthetics and sensibilities.

> detail via pouch (either fantasy characters with pouches, vials, flasks etc all over them are large creatures carrying tons of small sacks, chests, barrels etc)
> artists constantly drawing over rendered girls that never show any emotion or if they do it's something obnoxious like Dreamworks face (Ilya Kushinov is a big offender)
> Artists have a photo-real image in their folder to show how well they can render. it is always a piece of power armor, robot, or similar. Often just a bust, at that.
> z-brush -> keyshot >photoshop workflow, all the most advanced tools in the world and all they can do with it is drop a generic robot design on a stock photograph background
> Extreme Hue variation on skin at the slightest opportunity
>sub surface scattering in every lighting condition on every skin tone at every possible opportunity (bonus points for light behind the ear/ through the nose meme)
> overly rendering anime so that hair looks like plastic, eyes look like glass, the entire character looks like a 3d model
> "low-poly" (a shitty indie game dev fetish atm) style concept art
> only architectural pieces in their portfolio are pagodas, temples, other asian-esque stuff because it's the easiest to recognize "style" (shows a shallow understanding of architecture)
>Extremly dynamic and foreshortened character illustration ... but the closest thing to the camera is the hand so the drawing is 80% hand/arm
>3-4 legged walker mechs
> top down shot of a guy in a boat with the silhoutte of something BIG in the water under him (using figures in a composition as a short hand for scale in general is pretty cheap)
> "I put tentacles on this that means it's from the Cthulu mythos"

The list goes on, anyone feel free to add to it.

I meant to say, that if finds patterns when there is none that is related to this grid
