Just look at any character art in the WoW art catalog.

This character was normal until another player cut her hand off. I decided to turn her into a full marry sue DMPC as punishment, when it was my turn to DM.

May I ask what WoW has done to get everyone's panties in a bunch? They have started getting a general for setting discussion, and the MMO itself has been declining in popularity over time, and many people liken it's over-the-top high-fantasy stylings to Age of Sigmar, which has dredged up more salt than you could distill from the dead sea.

Is it just popular to bash it now? There's nothing objectively wrong with the art style amidst a million other artists and overall stylings, good and bad. What makes WoW-bashing the popular thing to do now?

Which doesn't belong here, especially since "random video game lore discussion without any purpose" is fine for one or two threads, but trying to carve out a niche for yourself just means idly chatting while killing threads actually related to traditional games.

>here's nothing objectively wrong with the art style
Actually, there's a lot. It's a particularly hideous game with stylings that were outdated even when the game was new, and looks awful in every instance except for those that try to distance themselves as far away from actual WoW aesthetics.

Trying to say bashing WoW has only recently become "popular" is just showing off that you've had your head up your ass for quite some time. WoW has always deserved its fair measure of hate, from it's worthless lore to its mediocre gameplay to its ugly art style, and thinking it's so flawless that it's above criticism makes it clear that you're still clinging to the sinking ship that was a game that was the very definition of "popular because it was popular" before its bubble burst.

He talked about the art style, not the game engine. You're seriously retarded.
>>
>>46662072
And I was talking about the art style too. It was the cheap and plastic look of the early 90s, carried on all the way into the 2000s. The worst kind of fantasy art.

It's weird meeting someone that writes in such a way that lets you plumb the depths of what a lonely idiot they are.
>>
>>46662135
Your particular tastes doesn't mean there's no merit to a particular illustration.
>>
>>46662227
From a design standpoint, there are clear rules being broken, ultimately with little purpose and often simply out of the horrible interbreeding of bad artists, low poly-models, and the back-and-forth inspiration between the two while burdened with sacred cows.

You're right in that it's not strictly "objectively" awful. But, there's plenty that comes the very closest it can get to objectively wrong in a discussion of aesthetics.
>>
>>46661677
Actually I was just pointing out that WoW character art fits the "Mary sue that's actually passable" bill perfectly.

There's no greater anti-WoW undertones.

Also you're a fucking oblivious moron if you think WoW bashing is anything recent.
>>
>>46662436
Explain what rules of design are actually being broken or fuck off back to /ic/

>>46662472
Why do I get the strong sense that any explanation would be wasted on you?

Oh, that's right, because you are just knee-jerk reacting to try and defend a largely dead game while your nostalgia goggles are cutting off the circulation to your brain.

It's called being too full of shit to explain yourself when not implicitly agreed with about everything.

What do you want to discuss first?

Color theory, or the fact that you want someone to lead you through art school for free all because your entire mode of argument is "hope to tire them out'?

Because, Warcraft's decision to keep things "vibrant" largely just to keep things visible and distinct typically translates into just gaudy messes of colors that have about as much harmony as the vomit that comes out of a person that ate a bowl of M&Ms and Skittles.
>>
>>46661504 and >>46662439 here.

Again, there was no greater WoW hate undertones, stop getting all your panties in a twist because someone implied they didn't think your choice of time wasting was perfect.

It's like they wanted to go for the half shaved look but just couldn't fully commit.
half shaved is awful, but this is somehow worse.

>Color theory
Most of Wow's art follows a complimentary color scheme or a cross-complement. You're not making a point by pretending you could even remotely pass art school.

Bitching that everything is vibrant isn't accurate when it's mostly just saturated. You don't know what you're talking about.

Which is why you keep stalling like a little fucking worm.

Sorry that people who disagree with you are better at art than you.

>and your response was that you lack the base level of knowledge to even begin a discussion.
This is why you're a worm. What I said was on-level with what you have to say about color theory, and you're avoiding specifics because you're a shitty artist. And you won't expand, even when engaged because it's somehow beneath you. And honestly that's what makes you worse than wow fanboys. You're impotent.
>>
>>46663936
>What I said was on-level

You thinking that is just a show of how stupid you are, and how obvious it is that you're just a troll with no real interest in a discussion.

All that's left is to call you out, so you stop thinking you and your cute little antics aren't horribly transparent.
>>
>>46664031
>You thinking that is just a show of how stupid you are
You thinking anything you have to say about art registers as intelligent just proves you've never drawn in your life.
>>
>>46664046
I'll leave you on that note. It was a suitably awkward flailing, which extinguished what little doubt I had left.
>>
>>46664075
I congratulate you on your failure to prove you actually know color theory or how to make art I guess? You've been a pathetic flounder from start to finish.
