Description Seriously people.

I am disabling comments cuz I don't like arguing with people, it makes me very angry (yes I have probably have anger problems >.< )

I'll just give what I want to say here, and if you disagree, that's fine, but I dont' want to hear it.

art n.
the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

My definition:
Anything where the creator had the intention of it being so.

Anime is art. And I don't care if you think the fans are annoying, then complain about them, not the style itself. Art is very important to me and to other anime artists. Anime is not a singular style but a genre of styles. There are so many differences between different anime that if you put characters from one show (or manga) in another it would look very strange and misplaced. Anime is not a simple or easy style. It takes a lot of pratice and it also takes a lot of skill since it is coming from your own thoughts rather than reference. Anime shows are not stupid either. Some are, of course, but that goes for all things. Anime has many genres and many stories and though some are similar, there are some that are very original, as with everything. Anime is not copying someones style, because as I said before, it is not one singular style. I've seen anime that are very cartoony, almost old disney cartoony and anime that is very close to realism. People need to shutup and leave anime and anime artists alone. There's usually a reason something is popular and anime is fun to draw and beautiful as well. And it is NOT the most common art form on DA so don't say "it's everywhere" because it's not unless you're looking for it.

This stamp is not about fanart but anime art in general.

I think I've said all things that need to be said.

Even the simple drawings usually look good, they're just simple. And there's people like that in every field of art, people who are recognized more than other artists that may deserve it.

Anime are IS serious art, it just has a different PURPOSE! And as far as I've seen anime art isn't the kind that sells well at all, maybe on the internet, but in real life a nice landscape painting will go for a LOT more than a really nice anime drawing or painting. Anime is used for animation! And it takes tons of work to put together even one decent manga page. It's a lot more difficult then a realistic portrait or something you would call "serious art" because it's coming directly from your own head. Plus to be able to draw a manga, or make animation you need to understand a lot of things a normal artist might now think about, such as physics, posing, storytelling through art and ect.

And I CAN blame them, the same they can blame me for liking it. I'm sick of hearing them whine about something that doesn't even effect them. If they want to prove that their art is "superior" Then I'd like to see something beautiful made by them. Often times these people who complain don't even draw themselves and it's really just sad that they would call out an art styly if they're not even creating art of their own.

Alright. Since you missed my point. It is art. I say that in the most derogatory fashion possible. Good for all anime artists out there. I don't disagree with you. I hate people that sit a girl down, draw her, and call it art. Yeah, I'm sure it took you forever- great on the realism, but you had a reference the entire damn time. I could've taken a picture in 2 seconds that looks close to what you did.

And do regular comic artists not have to think about that? They do. Do so-called anime artists that just draw pictures and don't comic or animate have to think about it? NO! That's not anime-specific, that's comic and animation specific. It's got nothing to do with anything beyond that.

Ok, poor choice of words. You can blame them. You can blame the jews for pissing off Hitler. You can blame the plants for vegetarians. You can blame the mice for high divorce rates. You can do what you want. Also, seeing as you can throw a blob of paint at a canvas and call it an amazing work of abstract art: don't tempt them. A five year old can outdo you with fingerpaints because the critics are idiots.

And what makes say... your style more artistic than mine? Seriously? I'm not insulting your art in any way although you think it's okay to insult mine. But really because you seem to draw something somewhat closer to realism does that make it art? Because I see static poses an no real meaning behind it, and I'm not talking about yours in particular but that style in general. And sure some of it is very very good, but so is some anime art.

Yeah regular comic artists do but if They weren't gonna write comics would they? Probably not, and there is no reason a western style comic would be more artistic than an anime styled one. Not at all. They are at the same level, they have the same purpose.

This picture by teruchan (wether you like him or not) was done quickly but has a lot of detail in the anatomy, and in my opinion is just a gorgeous picture all around, and he's not the only one.

As compared to this:

A very amazing piece of artwork, but besides it not being a sketch, what makes it SOOO Superior to anime/manga?

Anime style isn't just for drawing character profiles and weird yaoi situtations. You can create a real piece of art with it that's JUST as legitimate as ANY OTHER ART out there!

Yeah if we (the anime artists were jews) and we pissed of Hitler (the assholes) then Hitler still had no reason to hurt the jews, he just did it so he had someone to put the blame on, Much like jerks out there need SOMEONE to complain about. I'm not comparing what I have to listen to to how awful that was for the jews but just that they are being jerks fo NO REASON. There is NOTHING that says their style is better or more artistic than mine and other artists out there.

ok. Where did I say that? Where did I say that my style was better than yours? Or any style? Or that there's one style that's better than any one other style? Where did I insult your particular art style?

Was it the 'derogatory' thing? Because, I didn't mean yours was bad next to mine, I said that because I think it's "art". And, no, I don't think "art" means anything. Why? Because, like I said, you can throw a bunch of paint at a canvas and have it be called art. Even have it hailed as a masterpiece. If you manage to put medium to paper and not get art out of it, you're either writing a paper or should be kept away from sharp objects. EVERYTHING is art. There's an art to medicine and science and everything. That anyone would fight to be in such an all-encompassing thing is almost as shocking as that someone would be so idiotic as to think that something doesn't fit in it.

You didn't say YOURS was better than mine, but how would you feel if people said your art wasn't art? That what you spend your time doing is stupid and pointless.

It was the derogatory thing. I know you weren't insulting mine in particular but if you insult the general style it still is an insult to me as well. You said you think anime is art and you mean that iin a derogatory manner. Practically saying that anime is crappy art.

I like paint thrown on a canvas if it has a good color scheme and composition, I'd consider it art too. To me, art is art if the creator had the intention of it being so.

And I don't beive the concept "all things are art" is true because of what I said above ^. If I can't call myself and artist because I draw anime, then my schooling, career and hobbies are all pointless because I can't go to and art school if I'm not an artist, and I sure can't make art for games is I'm no artist.

I'm gonna disable comments so I won't be able todiscuss with you anymore. It's not cuz of you, but some other jerks. If you want to keep talkingyou can note me, but I think I've said everything I want to say, I knowneither of us will change ourminds.
