Round knees piss me off more than any other anatomy mistakes or omissions. Sometimes I see them on otherwise decent drawings and it just ruins the whole piece for me.

I also hate when they add knees to mermaids. I get that it's coming from a classic Disney's pose, but in the actual cartoon she didn't have a fucking knee inside her fish part.

"Concept artists" calling fucking entire copy pasted photos "reference", especially if those photos make up literally all of the piece's detail and charm, and the actual "art" is adding a few stupid lasso tool squiggles and free transforming them to create "perspective". Bonus points if the picture is then masqueraded as "digital painting". Extra bonus points if it's a "quick" one.

Inversely, calling what amounts to a sketch a finished work. I see this with too many younger artists and I'm like "if you really like drawing, at least put some heart into it. This just looks like you whipped it up in two seconds without any forethought."

Depression used for pity points while people who actually are on the verge of killing themselves are left to die because they are actually in distress so they cannot engineer their posts or whatever for likes, that's the most evil and shitty thing that people do on socials. Nobody takes you seriously if you vent or ask for help any longer, it defaults to attention seeking. So men who are suicidal are taken even less seriously. Thanks women.

Artists are more prone to things like manic depression and other mental issues, or at the very least, putting yourself out there to the public for scrutiny with the good and bad is more likely to exacerbate people's issues.
Either way turbulent personalities are to be expected from art, which is why you should save or archive things because you don't know if or when it will be gone.

I understand it when it's an actual emergency and they have shit like insane medical bills to deal with but those people will also change their prices to something much more worthwhile and open up a shit ton of commission slots, work their ass off cranking out comms for like 3 months, and make their money for whatever they need to deal with. I still don't like the personal info sharing / begging for commissions and signal boosts, but if they only do it once or whatever fine maybe you actually had an emergency.

I see shitty artists doing that 20 slots and $5/character commission begging shit so often. If it's not an emergency with them, it's "oh no my friend's cat had to go to the vet and needs surgery I need commissions so I can pay for iiiiit" or "my grandma has cancer and we cant afford her chemo help by commissioning meeee"

Half the time these chucklefucks just take peoples money and don't even finish the shit they were paid for.
