Re: 32
Just because it's vaguely reminiscent of anime doesn't make it amateur. What about the boring, overdone style of Western superhero comic book characters that comics have been inundated with for 40 years? Does that mean that everyone who draws vaguely correctly proportioned but generic-looking, square-jawed Caucasian men SRS PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS?
If #32 looked like a copy of a super-popular anime artist's/mangaka's style, I could understand the claim. It doesn't look like an Dragonball or Bleach character or a shoujo anime heroine, though, it looks very much like the artist's own original style. And that style is cute, and fairly unique -- seriously, how often do you see female characters that look like they actually have some meat on them?
On the other hand, sometimes I get sick of giant eyes and other miscellaneous animu faggotry, and I want to see realistic depictions of people. Case-in-point: my ship/OTP/whatever. They're two characters in a movie with human actors, but of course in what few doujinshi that exist for it, the art is all WHEE ANIMU for the most part.
But this character is obviously not based on a real person. So I don't see why you have to equate whimsical style with fail. It's not necessary for everyone to draw people like, I don't know, Da Vinci etc.
