the aforementioned image is offensive not because /ic/ hates interesting character design, but because the artist made established characters(the main cast of Kill La Kill, in case it's hard to tell) deliberately ugly as a way of saying something about 'muh unrealistic beauty standards', and the typical d/ic/k does not think that kind of message is at all worth ruining the aesthetics of a perfectly good design over.

Yes it's possible to make a cast of characters that are all both unique and attractive, but that's not the point of 'Tumblr Face'. Tumblr Face is about incorporating features that are traditionally considered 'ugly'(prominent noses, large hands and feet, body hair, etc) in order to Stick It To The Man and reassure their young-female demographic that They Are Beautiful Just The Way They Are.

The goal is to be neither interesting nor deliberately ugly. Tumblr Face artists rebuke the notion of idealism in character design altogether. In an era where 'Representation Matters', idealism is harmful to those that consume media, and thus they seek to make art that better Represents real life. Real life, while diverse, is also ugly and boring, which is why Tumblr Face art always feels so unappealing. It's kind of the whole point.

do you have any secret secondary reasons for becoming a artist?

when I eventually become a concept artist im going to subliminally insert my political agenda within my art.

Then there should be Loomis(or resources from the sticky) for kids(like a school textbook given to them) if they ever want to draw professionally like hand churching madmen when they get older. Think about it a new generation of draftsmen instead of over-fascinated weaboos, More people working in the arts radder than pillow humping all day.
