Popular Online Artists - The good & the bad

smallmilk

good for you
kiwifarms.net
I just wanted to make a place to discuss popular online artists.
It doesn't matter if they're from DA, Instagram, YouTube etc.
I'll start with two examples;

Ilya Kuvshinov (aka kronpr1nz)
koi_nobori_by_kr0npr1nz-d8mwlfg.jpg

zephyrus_by_kr0npr1nz-d8e08zq.jpg

first_year_hermione_by_kr0npr1nz-d8dg6ko.jpg
-popular pretty much everywhere
-had a few tracing scandals where his 'fanart' looked exactly like offical art
-3rd degree sameface syndrome

Sakimichan
thumbs_up_by_sakimichan-d6sqv9x.jpg

hua_mulan_by_sakimichan600_840.jpg
-mostly known for fanart
-makes a shitton of money through Patreon (I think she hid the number now)

Sooo, whatcha think about them? Like, hate?
Are there any other popular artists that you love or hate?

I used to dislike Humon until I realized how silly it was to have any animosity towards someone as pathetic as her. I actively still dislike Bleedman because he is unoriginal and seems like a pedo. I also find artists who primarily make fan art to be uninspiring outside of their technical prowess, but I don't dislike them for it, that would also be silly.

I already covered artist I like in this post.

Oh boy this thread is my place to fucking sperg because do I have overflowing amounts of animosity towards many an artist but this one stands out to me

PEACESKIIES. They apparently moved to cohzkie and now I think they're on tumblr as peaceskeez/comfypuppy. Typical slinky-anatomy ugly ass scenedogs with bowl cuts that wouldn't be so remarkable if 1) they didn't have a fucking rabid fanbase and 2) they didn't spark off a horrible, massive following of teenage furfags who copy their ugly ass style line for line. I am so sick of seeing it and their ugly adoptables going for upwards of a hundred fucking dollars, and all of the people who have them forming a little uptight elitist community. I literally do not see the worth in any of it. All the designs look the exact fucking same, which is to say, UGLY.

could be a :powerlevel:, but I'm pretty active on DA and I can tell that the PEACESKIIES craze was a horrendous time. To my knowledge the lanky scenedog style has died down a bit, but there's still loads of £100+ adopts in the style.

His anatomy is just... There's bad anatomy where you don't even know what to do and then there's PEACESKIIES' anatomy. I remember they drew a great dane husky mix for their fursona and it looked nothing like either breed it was just really bad, didn't even have any markings that revealed it was either breed. There's artistic liberties but his art style is just bad.

Ugh thats good to hear at least. Shits still plaguing Furry Amino like scene kid herpes. But then again, it's Amino, so its herpes anyways.

Imo I think the adoptables bullshit would make a good community watch thread. Toyhou.se is a festering hell of the general elitist autism of "hurr my adoptabuhul is from someone Popular and worth 200 dollurs"

I mean, going on Amino, especially furry Amino, is a bad choice.

Do you remember CityKings or however it was spelt? They also have a generic style (the really fluffy dogs with circle paws that go straight down and more emo hair, usually cool colours instead of warm colours of the art I've seen from PEACESKIIES) and their adopts spell for more.

Closed species are so dumb and there's barely any original ones. The kemonomimi ones are the worst as they're usually just humans with ears and tails and they sell for 100+. I get really annoyed whenever I see an artist I like whoring themselves out for a free closed species.

Also waterdogs, the dogs with sand. Anyone remember the drama surrounding them?

I don't remember CityKings but I do remember the fucking water dogs ugh... and the cinnadogs and whatever went down with their creator. I can't fucking stand closed species, especially the moneygrab ones that turned out to be actually successful.

Open species can be just as annoying lol. I thought the Primagen/Protogen stuff was funny, where that Pixel(?) person got so mad that the eksloosive closed species they paid hundreds of dollars to get into was made into a free spinoff that they jumped ship. And anything concerning DADs and Teleophone worshippers is just a shitshow.

ARPGs like Tokotas and Shivali or whatever get annoying as fuck too.

I've never heard of Ilya Kuvshinov before tbh but these three pictures already show off the "same face syndrome" quite nicely. That issue actually occurs in most cases because the artist is scared that another look might be ugly, or they simply can't draw faces another way.

Sakimichan is pretty cool. Her art is practically everywhere when it comes to "famous online artists" and that's not without a reason.

Also heard about Ikimaru? She owns a Tumblr blog on which she posts her art. It's mostly fanart but she has a very interesting style.

I'm not big on Ilya Kuvshinov's art that looks halfway between not realistic and realistic (like the second pic in particular) because its kind of unnerving. The style works better in the first pic where its fairly realistic

She doesn't do a whole lot in the way of drawn art but I LOVE missmonster's sculpture work. A lot of it is inspired by mythology and has heavy postapocolyptic biotechnology theming. Beatiful work I'd kill to have a mask blank from her but unfortunately she does limited runs of her masks. I was lucky enough to grab an armor piece from her for my scavenger costume.

Here's a showcase of her last mask on Tested

hey while I don't care for whatever you have to say about peaceskiies/cohzkie/comfortpuppy can you do me a favor and not paste my character all over the internet because whether you like it or not or find it disgusting or stupid- at least have the respect to not paste something I own all over the internet shitting on it lmao. I don't care if you like it or not but I really don't want the unwatermarked version floating around like this and having stupid people take it and do whatever with it.
(no im not looking for a snarky reply or trying to start a shit storm I just don't want the unwatermarked image of my character floating around, thanks hopefully you're not an asshole and respect my wishes, sorry i'm passive aggressive but this was fucking unnecessary that I had to find this especially in this context)

Oh, God, I could go on FOREVER about ARPGs, esepcially Bagbeans.
They were originally done as an April Fool's prank as a "closed species" that look like dicks (the art has been since been stored & I don't know of an archive link to it). Griffsnuff, the artist behind them, thought it was a good idea to make them cutesy and give them hair. Now they go for thousands of dollars for... some reason. A lot of the designs are extremely mediocre, and there are only two good guest artists/designers... plus there's Griffsnuff's general immaturity, and the problem of scalping & manipulation within the group.

If you want to get into the group itself, there are two mascot characters who are... well, not exactly the prettiest. If you want a different character, well, good luck! There are rarely any first-time owner events and a lot of the same people will jack up the price to ~500 dollars. Flatsales are extremely rare, and cost about 50 dollars depending on traits. Which is a lot to spend on a bunch of pixels! It's a wild ride.

There are already signatures from the original artist on the image. Even though the character is yours, we are still referencing the original artist and not claiming the character is ours. We don't have to credit you for owning the character, and slapping your own watermark on it doesn't really mean anything since the artist already signed it...

By the way, for future reference, don't sign up with usernames you use on other websites on here. It's literally in the rules.

One of the first artists I’ve started following over a decade ago was Pookyns/Pookyns-5/PookyHorse- way back when I lurked on Fanart Central and eventually found my way to DeviantArt. At first I was simply watching her for her Spirit fanart, but have grown fascinated with her style as it has changed over time for the better.
