Yuumei the cunt

Do I really have to go into detail as to who this bitch is? She's popular enough to be known how much of a baww fucker she is when it comes to "art thievery", even though the hypocritical tard has done the same shit with this art piece that she so called "created".

I've seen this tartlet mentioned in the Artist you hate subforum, but her bullshittery wasn't mentioned enough. Anyone else have any more of her assfuckery they'd like to share? I can't help but mention her overrated shit like Fisheye Placebo that she's making (people only really like it for the art style since it has no real story).

I left her a nice talks.

lolol Just saw it. Wasn't harsh enough, though...

Was just enough to make a point. You should never give a GOTIS too much attention.

Damnit Ubs, now I had to reply. lol

Personally, I think she is a good drawer. But her sentimental tree-hugging bullshit makes her artwork look, from a conceptual point, really cheesy.

wait, what art has yuumei stolen? (/plagiarized?) i'm curious about this

i like her art but i've found her more recent stuff with saturated colors+ messiness to be kinda eh
since she goes to UCB her environmental preachiness isn't really surprising but yeah her storytelling is pretty mediocre
i don't pay attention to her online much anymore so idk about her attitude on the internet? i've met her a few times in real life and she just seemed a bit quiet, not rude though. her table at cons is often swamped and she sometimes has someone loud help organize the crowd and sell stuff
once when she wasn't busy she gave me an orange. thanks yuumei

I only remember this one which was partially traced it seems and if I recall right she denied even knowing the original picture despite it being obvs. that she must've seen the other pic before:

I was actually hoping this thread would collect her bs to give an overview. I think there was some drama around other stuff too.

Wasn't there also some case where another person had made something similar to her work and went rlly overboard with her reaction.

also similar to moni her stuff seems getting lazier and lazier.

oh, I was mistaking yuumei with moni...
because both are getting lazy....

Personally, I don't think there's much to say about yuumei.

I like a few of her pieces, when she isn't trying too hard. When she does something straight off, it looks alright. Something clearly realistic done straight? Good. Something clearly anime done straight? Good. She knows what she's doing.

But her art as a whole, when she tries to make "realistic anime"? It's basically messy ballpoint pen lines/strokes colored really, really garishly. She tries to color her pictures both bright like anime and dark because realism, and the result looks really awful because of the contrast between the two kinds of colors she employs. If there's lighting, she exaggerates it like hell to let you know there's lighting, glowing with the force of a thousand suns. If there's shadows, basically the inverse. And often, she does both in a piece.

There's nothing offensive about her making this kind of art. If she enjoys doing this sort of thing in her spare time as an university student studying art, who am I to say she can't make it. Sometimes she has neat ideas, like Knite and whatever she does for school that she posts.

The problem I have is that her art often gets placed on a pedestal on dA, where apparently it's one of the reasons dA is such a "good" art community. And not the straight realistic pictures, or the straight anime pictures. I'm not surprised so many people on the internet like it, what with the "anime is popular" and "it looks realistic=ART" mentality. I've also noticed that people take the more sloppily done ones (rushed, obvious shortcuts/Photoshop, bad lineart) as examples of "good" art.

I also don't like her art when she just goes and illustrates something popular. I know she's just doing it because she likes it, but it inevitably garners attention because LOOK FANART LOOK COLOR SO REELISTIC SO GUD ART.

And of course, her latest project Fisheye Placebo...it takes everything bad about her art style and revels in these traits, with a really dumb narrative circling around the Internet or something. Basically dA Pandering: The Webcomic with the same problems as Romantically Apocalyptic.

aw that is so cute <3
i literally described her as "pretty okay" but w/e

ooooh i see. wow her pic looks so shitty next to the original


i don't even think her da recognition comes from the quality of her art it's more like she's been around for a long time and has consistently produced Pretty Okay art (+fanart)

White Knights lol

Personally my biggest beef with her is the sloppy 'line-art' (if you can call it that). It really kills her style to me. Either do clean lines or paint it, don't do both with those sketchy lines. I mean, I actually really like sketchy line-work as a style, but it still has to look appealing and intentional, not just sloppy. And it really only works for monochromatic pieces in my opinion.

My OTHER biggest beef is that she needs to be drawing her own goddamn backgrounds. http://yuumei.deviantart.com/art/3D-background-Tutorial-316500996
I don't care if this shit is 'free to use' it still isn't YOUR art if you didn't make the background yourself.

Also what Preston Critic says about her colors being both anime-saturated and realism-dark does make them look muddy, I agree.

Agreed, though

I had exactly 33 dislikes for my 33rd berfday today and @Mewkie teh cunt had to dislike me todays of all days.

For dat I'm going to harass this shit doodledrawer until she kills herself.

who's mewkie?

joined 2011 and haven't done anything

MY DETECTIVE MIND SAYS IT'S YUUMEI

Anyone want to link yuumei to this posting?

God fucking damn it
It's the second time I get called out for (dis)liking something. (not on purpose btw, I scroll the threads on the right side of my tablet and I accidentally tap things)
No need to get your panties in a bunch over a dislike

Fast and cheap, todays generation want them done fast. This feels like unlearning what you know about perspective. Even architects have to learn the basic of drawing building with their own hands. Relying 3D software just for visualization, not blueprint.

3D modelling like that should be used for referencing, not tracing.

I stopped paying attention to Yuumei after that - also her fisheye placebo stuff is too bright.

I will say she did at least take critique on a few pages of her comic, because there was a page where a character was hitting a fence and it wasn't very clear and she went back and corrected it. So I can't hate her too much.
