I like well-drawn art as well-drawn art, but I don't really care that much about well-drawn fanart.

As someone who likes visual art for the sake of visual art, I don't need the fandom component to care, you know?

And then, of artists I know who draw other people's characters (pro artists who do work-for-hire, not fanartists), two of the ones I follow most are Pascal Campion and Skottie Young, neither of whom is particularly photo-realist, conventional, or given to classical proportions.

I don't really care that much about well-drawn fanart.

That's interesting... I run an exchange and, from what I've seen, a lot of people feel the same as you.

For me, it doesn't have to be photo-realist, but it does need to tell me something visually truthful about what it's depicting. If (imo) it's badly drawn, I just can't look at it.

Well, it's more that I don't care that much about fanart as opposed to original art.

I don't really pay all that much attention to fanart, I guess? And fanart I like can be in a lot of styles, from very, very stylized to photo-realistic.

But no, I don't go for bad fanart as a rule. If it's something really smart, like a clever redesign, it doesn't have be lushly drawn. But bad fanart is mostly just...something from an immature level of artistic development, and really boring?

I think, maybe, that people assume that if a piece is 'too good' the artist has cheated in some way--which might also explain why some fests exclude photomanips--whereas if something is 'less good' it's obviously all the artist's own work. That's the only way I can make sense of some of the award winners and losers I've seen.
