Thread: [Hentai] Attempt at GooGirl

Because some people don't see things the way they do. Even though they see it as art they are taught that stuff like that is bad and they shouldn't be looking at it. There could also be the case that one of your parents abuse you wrongly for something as little as looking at Hentai. If in the case that I ever get caught looking at it then I will simple have to explain to them that I see it as art. But people know they arn't supposed to be looking at this stuff but they do anyway because it fascinates them.

It really depends on what you take it for. If one of your friends show you a paper with random lines on, and he claims it's art, while you (probably) wouldn't, then who's right? Is something art, because the individual thinks of it as such, or because the majority thinks of it as such?

This is what I hate about my art teacher...if I make something I consider art and I think its really great she'll come and look at it and start saying that all this crap needs changed...worse part is is that I have to change it or I fail the class and I didn't want to be in that class again...

Very fine line... Tornado Joe draws pictures of naked women. They're clearly art.

Maybe you shouldn't have put 'Hentai' in the title Marvo...

I think what makes the "art" part of it dubious is that it's very sexual in nature. Grabbing boobs and stuff..

It should stay so people dont acidently come in here and open up a picture of a naked women while their parents are watching.

I didn't draw the picture with a guy grabbing boobs, though I agree my first picture certainly suggested sexual activity.

I didn't see your picture actually, I saw something that someone else linked to.

Are you suggesting that being sexual in nature precludes something from being considered art?

In essence, the images posted in this thread so far, if they were to be classified, would indeed be called "Ecchi", not "Hentai". There's no sex involved. It's only nudity and such.

And, for once, I support thegnome's above post.

No.

If you see a piece of art and it leads you crying, how is that any different from sexual art leading to masturbation?
It's not always such a conscious choice, it may, or may not happen.

Most people on Earth live their lives with pleasure at the utmost goal, and it should not be so condemned.

The 'appreciation' of the art, the only thing that should make a difference.
Sexual appreciation is not always unbalanced with blinding arrogance in the face of prudity.

Just out of curiosty...

Will you be making anymore stuff like this?

Yes, probably, but I don't think many on this forum can be helpful, unless they're regarded to just the hentai art, and not the gooey art. I might post it anyway though

I think you should draw and post what you like. If you want to post Gooey art (which imo looks kinda cool) then you should.

Post it.

When I get round to it I'll do a fucking amazing one for you.

I'll see what I can pull of. Will try to reduce intimate skin area though.

Carousoul, do you have experience in this field =o?

Not googirls. I'm not quite that cool.


But I can do awesome anime girls and I can do good goo.

I assume I can do good googirls if need be.

Why, go ahead

Now!

I don't have a scanner here now though..?

I don't like it. It may just be me of course. I don't like anything that doesn't look perfect. Perfected creative writing with flowing speech and a wide vocabulary...perfected drawing with fitting colours, good shading, well-made sketches...and so on.

That's probably why I don't draw myself even though I can...it takes ages. To create an anime drawing that looks like anime characters from cartoons and professional art takes a long time. Sketching takes quite a while, the colouring and shading is a whole process of its own...

But in the end, is there really a point in drawing something that doesn't look good? That doesn't look great? After all, art is for the eyes to enjoy, is it not?

Just thoughts out loud though. I doubt my criticism can be held too highly considering that I'm too lazy to draw myself.

'Looking perfect' and 'enjoyable to look at' are two totally different things. Anime is drawn so that there is a minimum of personal creative expression from the artist. Anime artists are illustrators. There will be a room full of thirty dudes all drawing the exact same thing in the exact same style. They are purposefully trying to draw, ink, and color the exact same way so that no one can tell the difference when they smash all their plates together into a comic/ film.

Thats one of the reasons that anime plates or disney cells will never be considered fine art. (Collectible and appreciable, hell yes. Badass looking, hell yes.)

Maybe thats not what you're referring to, but comparing a piece of fan art to a professionally drawn piece of anime just doesn't fly. Thats like comparing Dega's sketches to his photographs.

All I was saying is that I don't see a point in doing something unless you do it with great quality.
Thus, sketchy, vague and not perfectly finished pieces aren't as pleasant to look at as fully perfected pieces of work.
