tumblr art style: 1. obnoxious colors 2. overly simplified and feminized design (even for male characters) 3. apparent fear of any sharp edges 4. fetish for what i can only describe as "ambiguously brown" characters

I think cause most likely cartoons these days use a “puppet” method where they use different parts for them to move. Stop motion but in digital 2d basically. Which is why most of them never fuckin go off model ever. Especially shit like Teen Titans Go and Rick and Morty. They do draw in some frames sometimes but thats more complex movements.

I don't necessarily think this particular aesthetic is always bad (I personally like the pastels in Steven Universe), but it's so heavily oversaturated the industry that it's become tiresome to look at. The thin outlines with no tapering plus a lack of shading makes these 2D characters somehow look even flatter than they already are.

Now there are hand drawn western shows but even those that are hand drawn aren’t as well animated as they were from the early 2000s and 90s.

Something I cannot stress enough as an artist is the importance of shapes in a character design. Is your character more uptight or strict? Triangles and sharp edges are your friend.

To be fair Dead End Paranormal Park is a show where the most of the main character are stated or implied to queer in some way. With louder more vibrant clothing style are a big aspect of queer culture. To me at least it makes sense for the show to subtly reflect that though it's character designs.

I think the best example of characters that have bright colors but are still nice to look at would definitely be the original Scooby Doo gang, they all have vibrant colors but you can watch the cartoon without your eyes bleeding. Freddie has a white sweater and bright red ascot but the softness of the blue shirt and jeans balances it out. Velma has the bright orange sweater and socks but her dark red skirt balances it out. Shaggy has the neon green shirt but the brown pants balances it out. Daphne has the purple dress and green scarf but the pink petty coat, tights, and headband-guess what-balances it out. Modern shows don’t know how to utilize bright colors in a way were the characters are still vibrant but not eye-popping. It also makes for much more iconic color schemes. They just don’t know how the color wheel, balance, or hues should work together.

A lot of cartoons I’ve noticed have these tumblr styles. They always have the blush and red/brown noses, chunky/noodly bodies, and there’s always someone wearing a hijab. I agree that these art styles in cartoons are just getting repetitive and boring at this point, and it doesn’t help that it looks so fugly.

i feel like artists for cartoons are forgetting the importance of colors and how to match them to your show. there’s a way to make your art bright and colorful WITHOUT making it look messy. my favorite example is my little pony. it has a cute and colorful look while still looking neat and put together. depending on what show you’re writing, you need to have your colors fit with that. it’s not always about the colors, it’s also about the shade and hue and where the colors are placed that really makes or breaks the look of your cartoon. for example, gravity falls has a dull and calm look to it, but also has intense colors when it needs to. this fits the camping and the mystery vibes very well. or how sailor moon has a colorful and pastel look to it to match the girl world where they lived. basically, make your colors match your show, it doesn’t need to be colorful for it to look good.

i think the main problem i have with shows like dead end is my eyes get bored because they don’t mix it up. two other shows with a “tumblr art style” are gumball and bluey. but, i still find myself interested because they also incorporate these beautifully drawn scenes, special non-puppet animation, animation/style changes, and more. they actually keep my eyes interested in what’s happening instead of getting bored despite the fact things are happening. puppet animation isn’t bad at all, and i’m so happy animation studios are finding ways to still make 2d animation- just easier. HOWEVER, if the puppet is rather simple and/or the style is and nothing changes, it gets boring after a while. especially when the animation is simple, too. some puppets can stretch to give the animation a sort of flair, but again, we don’t really see that in dead end. it’s simple. the movements are simple. the scenery is simple. i never felt a connection to the characters or the show because of that, if the story wasn’t enough.

I like gumball but I don't think every cartoon has to look the same.

I don't even think the calarts/tumblr artstyle is particularly easy to animate, i think the artists just want to hurt people's eyes.

My bigger issue with animated western shows today is general animation quality. It’s gone down a lot as the number of hand drawn cartoons isn’t as high as it used to be. I just don’t like the look of tweened animation even when it’s combined with hand drawn frames. TV animation should be hand drawn, even if it’s more limited. If Japanese animation studios can hand draw their animation for the vast majority of their show than western studios hiring Korean studios can as well. I also do have an issue with the oversimplified character designs where everyone has the same face. Now I’m not asking for super detailed characters as that will lead to the opposite issue if them being difficult to animate thus leading to stiffer animation and a more difficult production schedule. I just want what we got in some 90s and lots of early 2000s shows.

Western animation should commit seppuku in shame, for it will NEVER approach the jaw-dropping animation in the final fight of that arc.

Basically, your issue with this is that the Color Pallet is a mess. These people do not understand Color Theory. The only complimentary colors on the MC is their blue hair and orange jacket. The purple plum shirt and magenta pants are too distracting for what they were actually going for. And the green and pink buttons as well as the green earrings are rather unnecessary. What they could do to remedy this is to use either white or gray. Make their pants white and their shirt gray (or you can switch them). The earrings can be silver or gold to compliment the orange jacket! Edit: Just learned this MC has Fire Abilities. The color pallet should be Red as a base.

Me when a cartoon made for children has a different art style

I like the cartoony aesthetic, and I do think vibrant colors help emphasize the childlike art style, but as someone who has zero fashion sense, even I am wondering what in the hell these artists are doing with their color palettes.

I don’t really see why everyone’s so pressed. Art styles will come and go and everyone always remembers the past through the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia. I understand tiring over something new. The current state of mascot horror has me tired. But it doesn’t mean that art has no merit simply because of a weaker aspect. I personally enjoy the art in these shows for what they are. Im lucky because art does not deter me from a show and or it’s story. There will be weaknesses and strong suits in any piece of media. I personally see little issue because I know it isn’t soulless. The art feels like something you might see someone post online, and that’s okay. It’ll change, life comes and goes. Cartoons are not being ruined, art is just changing, as it always does.

As someone who uses tumblr I hardly ever see this kind of art style on my page do was honestly confused at first when I saw this video.

I get not liking the art style of shows (DE's isn't my favorite but it's certainly not the worst) but why are people just simplifying their criticisms into a term that doesn't even apply? 'CalArts' style has been used as a complaint on shows where the creator didn't go to CalArts (even though the original use of the term was for a much different style) and both 'CalArts' and 'Tumblr' styles have been used as complaints on shows with wildly varying styles. I think it'd be much more helpful if people (not necessarily Jack cause he did specify color on Barney) just explained exactly what they didn't like about individual styles instead of lumping them all together. Plus Tumblr has such a wide array of art styles which makes calling it a style and pinning it to one set of style characteristics even less accurate. These designs are easier to animate than something like Swat Kats' style (fuck I miss that show); simpler and cheaper means more studios are going to prefer that style. This is not an issue with Tumblr artists, CalArts graduates, or whatever actual artists, though some will just draw in that style because they think it's cool and not because they want to saturate media with similar styles (or...Steven Universe like I saw a lot of people saying. Seriously why did that get pinned on SU when Gravity Falls came out before it? Or does it get a pass just cause it was a good show?). This is an issue with studios trying to save some money because they don't care about animation (with the exception being TAWOG since by having so many different animation styles there had to be a care for it somewhere). I just wanted to give my two cents.

I think the main problem is not that a character has colored hair, but more that it doesn't suit their character design. A good example of when it’s well done is Amity Bligh, not only the color green/purple tells something about the personality of the character, but it also suits her design. Why not go even further with the Inklings of Splatoon with it colorful anarchy battle or it's story mode where each has a distinct color. Also, I recommend the video *"GOOD vs BAD Character Design: Tips and Tricks!"* which explains what makes a good character design.

I heard the show itself was pretty good. (No Avatar the last air bender but good) it’s just the art style that’s throwing me off.

I remember when I was in art class and I was going off my anime like art I was constantly told by the teachers not to draw like that, that I need to learn the basics and get my own style instead of just copying a anime style and doing it poorly. I really think that needs to be said for this Tumblr art style that’s prevalent in animation right now. because it just looks like a bunch of amateurs being given the reins of something they don’t understand.

Cleveland's character design is just *simple* a yellow shirt and jeans are basic. It's not "smart" design, it's simple. They don't say anything about his character. His clothes don't have to, but that's what you see in the other kid's design. It has personality. Plenty of people in the real world dress in bright colors, clashing patterns, and push "what's normal". To me, it's not so colorful and in your face that it's tacky. But I do know what you mean

Seeing shows like these make me miss shows that had an anime style to it like the 2003 Teen Titans or shows that just had a very unique style to it, like Invader Zim or Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go.

Finally, someone gets it. Who knew that a bunch of art students would be so bad at art design?

As an artist who uses a lot of bizarre colors on his characters, I fully agree. Even when you want to break the rules, there are still rules that have to be adhered to. Total artistic chaos is just unpleasant to look at.

Generally, you can like what you like, but that character design is, in my opinion at least, generally awful.

Manlet is a sexist term

Now I like paranormal park but I can agree this art style is getting repetitive, like I actually put off watching this show for a while cause I thought it was gonna be something like velma thank god i was wrong

same, the art style was a big turn off (especially on the main character) but at some point I gave it a go and ended up finishing the show in like in a day or two

"What the hell am I looking at with this guy's (redacted) character design?!" A self insert. You are looking at a self insert. Tumblr characters are either self inserts, or Mary Sue fantasies.

Ngl as much as i enjoyed this show, i wasnt a big fan of the style, the old style in the pilot ep stole my heart tho.

Blue-haired dude looks like original characters I drew when i was 13 with the mindset of "I'LL GIVE THIS CHARACTER EVERY COLOR I LIKE!!"

When the Netflix She-Ra came out my friend was gushing over the new designs (and she did not care about the original cartoon she just loves what Tumblr TELLS her to love). I said 'What is with the raccoon face? Every single character looks like they are constantly blushing but they aren't?' and she defended it without even allowing a single moment of agreeing MAYBE it looked a bit odd. I wasn't even slamming the designs just that odd choice and she took it like it was an assault. XD

She-reees are extremely fragile, defensive and will attack at the smallest thing. The show and fandom is the personification of a house of cards; One stiff wind of criticism and down it goes. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them sniffed out this comment just to shit on you over this. They can't even fathom the showrunner just uses them to prop herself up when she's trying to pitch a project.
