/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Those artworks and concept sketches are great, but they're result from years of practice of western cartoon art: animation with high frame rate and focus to action makes the industry venerate for fluid, dynamic look with clear and obvious expressions for the characters. The drawing also has to become effective representation of various human being from race, build, and various social economic classes. Typical of US when it comes to diversity.

Meanwhile, only in eastern or specifically Japanese modern visual culture that you got static, tranquil look. There's no huge bias toward having to learn all those basic /western/ arth fundamental so the entry are much more casual. For subjects, their industry are more lenient toward fanworks so reproducing (lolcopyrighted) characters or visual style in your own interpretation is fine or even encouraged. So choosing which character to depict and what they do has more importance.

I enjoy the latter ofc. But the best thing an artist could do is to take everything that inspires him/her personally from any style and ideology, even from obsolete past tradition, and adapt it to modern context.

Tl;dr worshiper of ugly gaijin art should die

Alphonse Mucha? In my /jp/?

Funny because Mucha style is somehow relevant.
