i realized nobody has made a new one yet and the first one reached the thread limit almost half a year ago.

>Post and discuss art styles you dislike whether they come from industry professionals or hobbyists, come from official projects or fanworks, come specifically from an individual artist or are a general art trend, regardless of the artist's skill level.

Can someone tell me the origins of the "2020s style"? I'm also confused like whoever made the OP pic seems to be.

The squiggly lines actually come from older japanese animes, mostly shonens. Think of Ash from Pokemon or Toriyama's characters. It's not the same same but I think that's where it comes from.

Immorality and controversy aside, Shadman's artstyle is fucking repulsive and nauseating. I hate the faces, the coomer proportions and retarded expressions. I refuse to go out of my way to search for his art to provide an example for you guys though (and you should thank me for it)

Shaman's "style" is just that Disney/anime fusion which every single artist on Instagram used to do, but instead of the charming illustrator quality it's just got hideous lineart, basic colouring/rendering, and no sense of composition whatsoever.

The original Toheart anime looked gorgeous, the visual novel's aesthetic is pleasing to the eyes as well compared to whatever this is. I don't even know why they're bothering with remaking it when it already had a remake (even if it's old by now). Seems like they haven't gotten the memo that nostalgia and old aesthetics have been pretty popular too. Or maybe it isn't with the jp audience, idk.
>>473241
The new Digi Charat looked really cheap compared to the original and all the other previous iterations. For example Digi Charat Nyo also didn't look as good as the original shorts/specials/etc since it's a longer series and it looks more simplified, but it still looked way better than this last reboot by miles. It probably also looks like that because they were trying to emulate the author's modern art style (picrel).

This reminds me of that girl who was the inspiration for the zoomer "Russian art style" trend isn't even Russian and she gets annoyed when people call her Russian kekk
Her art style is interesting but has gotten dull recently in her attempt to move away from that title, as many artist who's styles have been typed do. It's kinda sad to see.

It's so depressing to see the art of a manga you love slowly degrade over time, the latests chapters are scribbly messes
