Why do people seem to hate Tea Texiamato's work?

74 % approval rate isn’t what I would call “hate”.

To answer your question: too many signs of mediocre art. Subpar hands, flawed anatomy/perspective, balloon boobs… For example, the hand in post #4606433 is just bad, which is especially annoying because the spread cleavage window is pretty much the focus of the image.

It's pretty good overall, but the face ruins it. It's somehow flat? and kind of weirdly angled? If the artist revised the face it would probably be uploadable.

Really? I thought the face looked fine enough. But since you mention it, maybe the nose could have been more defined? Wish I could reach out to the artist, but Japanese isn't my first language and I don't even know if they'd reach back...

yeah, so it would be great if we had some feedback explaining a little bit why it was deleted.

post #4604154

Overall just a little amateurish. To nitpick: the right hand looks like a baby's hand, the right foot and leg connect at a slightly uncomfortable angle, and the left hand, which should be a focal point for the whole image, is lacking in detail and kind of awkward. Images which are drawn in a more realistic style are going to be held to higher standards of realism.

post #4609753 Lately I've been hoping that my eye for catching anatomical/drawing errors has been improving without character bias or my own post bias. But I'm not sure I deserved a deletion against me for this one. Am I missing something?

'Flat' face, odd-looking fingers, very weird waist, overall horizontally-squashed/vertically-stretched body.

I mean, I thought the face looked fine, but now that you mention it, maybe it could've been defined better? I'd contact the artist, but they use Pixiv and they probably moved on anyway...

Anyway, post #4614837 got deleted yesterday, which is a great shame because Lin You is a great character in Dragalia Lost and a lot of them don't get fan art. Or at least really good ones. (Actually, you could apply this to virtually all the characters in DL...) Any ideas why this got booted? Maybe it's too plain-looking?

Left hand is weird.

Though overall looks kinda okayish, I guess. But it doesn't really stand out either (other than the hand, for the wrong reasons).

Wait, really? I'm actually kinda surprised because I honestly can't see how the left hand is weird. Like, it needs to show the thumb to be less weird?

(Man, Dragalia Lost needs more love in the fan art department...)

Eh, looks fine enough to me, undeleted.
