>>106502009>something that looks like a 14 year old on deviant art tracing characters from a cheap looking cartoon and drawing them nakedI think that's because a lot of it quite literally is. Proportionally less than there used to be though, some shows that only had appalling childish r34 before now have a lot more actually competent stuff.
My favourites artists are the ones who manage to keep the characters recognisably themselves and stay true to a show's aesthetic while actually making them sexy (on model /co/ characters are rarely sexy, especially if imagined naked) rather than the ones who might be good artists, but draw the same damn generic body all the time and switch out the features.
