Is the "over-rendered, over-detailed, polished turd" serious or a meme?
A lot of artists are successful with simpler stylization, but adding more dept to your art, genuinely feels like improving.

I just prefer artists with a more painterly style, simple as

I kind of get why you can label it as an improvement, but yeah, it still has no soul or depth to it in a more figurative way.

Depends on the artwork. Some of Sakimi's stuff is polished-turd tier because she majorly fucks up on anatomy but hyper renders it anyway

"polishing a turd" means spending way too much working detail into a work that is fundamentally flawed, such as having crappy line art and glaring anatomical mistakes.

A polished, good work as such isn't a turd

The meme usually refers to work that is well rendered but has a major flaw from the basic. Either broken anatomy, or stiff posing, or in case of Op's pic, it's shading with a single tone of grey.

Hyper-rendering on non-realistic styles (even realistic ones desu) is almost always ugly to me, it's uncanny and looks like plastic. It's not a polished turd if the base drawing as good but it looks better if they don't do this.

This. Its like rendering grass, sure you're not "wrong" for getting every single blade, but it still looks like shit

Over rendering pieces are the only way sfw anime artists can ever attract the attention of normie wallets. Prove me wrong.

What is it about over rendered anime that appeals to normies so much? I don't get it. Is it just the surface level illusion of skill?

How the fuck do I learn to render or polish turds?

I second this, i want to learn how to polish turds like sakimi chan too!

Regardless of memes it's got an expiration date. As soon as cheap computers can render 4k graphics and there's a easy/low resource 3D modeling software those 16 hours of stacking layers won't impress anyone anymore.
