Veromaye said:I'm not arguing about you disliking Riyo's art, I'm arguing about your opinion being more objective than subjective because you clearly said:
There's nothing in either of those two quotes that state any sort of objectivity, nor do I use any word choice that make it seem as such. Yes, I do think Riyo is incapable of drawing bla bla and that's a harsh way of putting it on purpose because it's my real opinion, but that's a statement of my subjective opinion that I believe Riyo is incapable of drawing.
I'm not sure why you're inserting any sort of implications or statements that aren't present in the original quote. At that point, it feels like you're just arguing word choice rather than anything actually substantial. Besides, literally even in that post you quoted, I pretty clearly preface my conclusion with:
and I guess it might appeal to some people, but I personally find nothing likeable about it
And even then, who's to say Riyo being incapable of drawing isn't objectively true?** Are you not aware that saying ''Riyo is not incapable of drawing'' is in itself a subjective point of view rather than anything objectively true?
**Disclaimer: This isn't a literal statement from me saying Riyo is objectively incapable of drawing so please don't get unnecessarily hung up on the ''objectively'' part
But where is stated that FGO servants MUST be drawn like anime or like "proper human being"
If this was the case, Riyo servant would've never been added.
Nowhere, but how does this correlate to anything I said in the slightest? You're jumping to misunderstandings never stated that could have been easily avoided if you read - or re-read - what I said:
I ask for the bare minimum of characters resembling humanoids
The ''I'' here is obviously referring to what I personally deem to be a necessary metric for good art; not what is actually requested or required by DW's standards.
( where this is nowhere the whole reality of fate since I would say 1/4 of servants barely have legit human characteristics.
Unless the Servant is specifically intended to not be humanoid in nature (such as Lobo), I find myself utterly incapable of finding a single Servant that isn't Riyo's creation which fails to resemble humanoid characteristics. But if you want me to put it in easier to understand terms, perhaps it'd be more productive to state that not a single Servant aside from Riyo's is drawn in a chibi art-style which creates quite the jarring image when they're put in the sea of other non-Riyo Servants.
Maybe you're right that Riyo is incapable of drawing more accurately humane characters.
Point in-case.
But that doesn't make him a mediocre or incompetent artist. Artist are not forced to be able to draw any other style that exist.
I've never stated otherwise for the second half, but when you're asking someone who has an inherent distaste for art-styles that are incapable of being adapted to non-chibi characters, I'm not sure what other answer than ''this artist' work is terrible'' did you expect.
Some people are capable of recreating other's art style or any type of style. But those who can't do it aren't incompetent, huh.
Nobody's talking about that. Being able to draw humanoid characters isn't really a specific art-style, it's part of what you expect every good artist to be capable of. For instance, I think Atalanta's artstyle in FGO looks awful in comparison to lets say Kamadeva's, but they both are pretty obviously drawn to be humanoid in spite of the fact that the two art-styles don't resemble each other in the slightest.
But to me that sounds the same as saying that Takeuchi sucks as an artist because he is unable to draw different faces and he's extremely lazy about poses. Which is a stupid argument to judge.
Takeuchi being incapable of drawing different faces is absolutely true and a real criticism for his art, but unlike with him, I struggle to find any qualities in Riyo's art that overcome the deficiencies I consider it to have. And while he's incapable of drawing different faces, he still draws a pretty face. It's repetitiveness is obviously a problem, but not as much of a problem as it would have been if that single asset looked terrible to boot.
Anyways I'm done, you dislike Riyo art, and he's incapable of making real humanoid bodies, ergo he's incompetent. Cool
