116. I understand how "I hate Harry Potter because it's popular" sounds stupid, but what's completely stupid about the other two?

128. Thanks, now I'll never be able to un-think that every time I see those two characters.

134. Sorry, I lol'ed.

146. Some people need something to inspire them before they can treat art like SRS BSNS. When I was younger, like 12-ish, I never wanted to try drawing people because they just looked way too hard. Imitating anime style helped me break down human beings into something that I could start with. Sure, my drawings were shit--I wasn't even very good at copying published anime/manga styles--but so are everybody's when they're just learning. Through years of observing people and all those other legit art techniques, I've been building on that to try to make my drawings more realistic and develop my own style, but that takes time and practice. I can't really say I'm there yet--I'm still only 17, I'm still learning, and probably always will be--but if it weren't for anime, I wouldn't have even tried to begin with.
Most of those people you're talking about who "want to become manga-kas"? They're just young. In my experience, they seem to be all the people around deviantART who are around 12 or 13. They'll learn.
I can't imagine anyone who's REALLY serious never changing their style from age 13 to as much time as it takes them to get published. If they don't ever grow, they don't really have their heart in it.

156. Wow, all of their heads are even facing the same direction, it almost looks like he/she just traced over them. ...People like that? I think it's ugly.

take it to comments! ...Wow, some people have a lot of misplaced anger.

I don't know about the "I hate anime though I used to like it thing"- unless the OP means those people who say it like it makes them elite because they "saw the light" or something, though honestly I haven't met many of those- it's just a changing opinion. (Though, again, I find it weird to say "I hate anime" since... anime is a genre and it's kind of like saying "I hate all movies" or "I hate all books." There's a ton of variation in styles and stories there. But I digress.)

I can definitely understand the "I hate Jrock/Emo music because all the guys look like girls!" thing, though. How the artists look has absolutely nothing to do with the music itself. For example, if someone heard a few Gackt songs and really loved them, saw what Gackt looked like (http://thumbs2.modthesims2.com/images8/MTS2_354346_sakura_chan_gackt_3.jpg), and suddenly started going "ew, I hate it, I can't stand his music, he looks like a girl!" I'd think they were being severely retarded. One thing has nothing to do with the other, so hating the music should have something to do with the actual music? I'M ASSUMING WHAT'S WHAT THEY MEAN, AT LEAST. :|

Yeah, I think it's weird to say "I hate all anime," too.

In regards to the emo/Jrock thing, oh, of course, if that's what they meant, that makes sense. I only half had my brain turned on when I posted that comment. ...Though I guess I could understand a person who just COULD NOT TAKE EMOS/JROCKERS SERIOUSLY because of their looks. XD Which is different than saying "EW, GIRLY MEN." (Somehow? Or maybe not.)

You're very welcome!

156 OP

(Anonymous) 2008-07-05 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair, I did flip one or two, and rotate them. Otherwise, nada. I just lined up his creepily-similar noses and voila.

Re: 156 OP

[identity profile] t3h-w0lfy.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I figured you probably must have.
But seriously, that's creepy.
