It's not the dog faces, it's the entire style: it's unflattering.
Cartoonlion is not accurate: most lines are too thick, or are unfinished, leaving gaps in the skin. The shadow is simply wrong, or unnatural to say the least.
The anatomy is off, the body is too high and too thin, making the legs look too big; the neck is too thick, the snout immediately connects to the neck; the legs are too close to each other, they bend too quickly, the front legs aren't as long as the back legs and, finally, the flank is up too high. Other than that: the length of the tail does not compute with the size of the body and the hair and the eyes are too big, which is probably the reason for the bigger snouts.
Finally, the drawings do not depict dynamic movement in any way; they are stale and their only merit is a sense of depth.
Due to this the image feels cramped and incomplete and if that's Cartoonlion's 'style', then it's a shitty one.
Artists like Railgunner, Rose, Jack, Noel and Disco (among others) prove it's possible to have your own, yet appealing style.
>B-but... art is subjective!
To a degree, yes. There are inherent values to use and deduct if something is in the proper. Depending with what you roll, of course, be it realism, flat characters, abstract, etcetera, of course. |
