I don't particularly like this art style. Is there a term to describe it so I could add it to my blacklist?

post #1030918

cel_shaded, maybe. That doesn't capture the 'thin, unweighted lines' characteristic though (these two characteristics taken together could be viewed vaguely as 'anime style', but good luck tagging anything that indefinite.).

Why not just blacklist artists who draw in that style?

Multiple artists mean multiple tags to blacklist. However, I do have to ask this, OP: do you mean art style as in how the image was made, or as in what the image contains and what is drawn within. Certain forms of art make or break the word "style", because of variables not necessarily meant to be just the overlying image.

Not to be rude or anything, but that would be a lot of effort just to avoid seeing this art style. There are a lot of artists who create art like this, so blacklisting one artist would just pop up another...

Ack... I might just have to get used to it. Kind of like how people refuse to tag girly on posts...

Could you describe what you don't like? The link work? colors, muscles, eyes, nose?

Cel-shaded kemono.

In the kemono wiki

Usually, the characters have smaller proportions and are portrayed in a very cute, childish style. The word is sometimes used to refer to any furry art done by a Japanese artist (Karabiner/Dr comet/po-ju); this usage is less common in this community.

So this tag only applies to young characters?

Not AFAIK. Trump [Team Shuffle] has some examples of clearly adult kemono. Similar principle as chibi - 'chibi old woman' is something that does make sense.

(btw, check out the disclaimer on the landing page for that site. It's pretty funny)

OP could also possibly be referring to bara. It's hard to tell, they are really too vague.

No, but making things seem "cute" is just something often seen in kemono and is usually the most telltale. The wiki says that its cited usage is simply the most common, not the only one.

Some examples of kemono: 1 2 3 4

Bara/barazoku is more about the body type portrayed, not really the method of creation.

Isn't Cel-shading when you have 3D models where you clone the character's body, inflate it, and make the outside layer invisible with a black inside layer so that it creates the image of an outline?

Yes and no. It is generally used to describe cartoon-like shading. While it certainly applies to 3-D renders most people use it to refer to the kind of shading used often in cartoons and anime.

Since art styles are heavily undertagged, it wouldn't work too well anyway.

I think I should've been a little more clear... I don't like the censoring, colour palate, shading and use of blush.

• Censoring, for obvious reasons
• The colour palate is kind of a turn-off for me. It's too... pale blue.
• Nobody accidentally gets all naked, wet and horny. The blush, to me, just seems like an overkill.
• I've never really liked japanese art styles in furry art. In anime, it's great, but I don't like it anywhere else.

What I've defined for you is as specific as the art style can get. The rest is up to the artist working with it.

Linicks said:

Well that's easy. There is cencored tag in use.

Closest one descriping this kind of style is indeed kemono like said earlier, but it most likely won't cover all the images because that's not always tagged.

If you don't like to see any japanese art, you can try blacklisting japanese_text. I'm not entirely sure does this work with blacklists, but you can try blocking images which are sourced from japanese art sites, source:pixiv.net and source:nijie.info for example.
E: source tags can't be blaclisted, sorry.

• Censoring, for obvious reasons

-Not an art style, you can blacklist this but you'll only get results if people tag censor bars or the like. But blacklisting Japanese artists (Who are required by their law to censor things) would yield in generally not seeing censoring - not always, but more often than trying to blacklist censoring itself.

• The colour palate is kind of a turn-off for me. It's too... pale blue.

-This is just the character, not an art style. If they had tagged blue fur or the like you could blacklist that.

• Nobody accidentally gets all naked, wet and horny. The blush, to me, just seems like an overkill.

- You'd have to blacklist something like clothing with blush or some other similar combo to not see things like this. This isn't an art style, it's just, just like Ratte said, everything else is up to the artist or the character designer.

• I've never really liked japanese art styles in furry art. In anime, it's great, but I don't like it anywhere else.

- Really the only way to properly avoid content you dislike that has as many things you dislike as this does is to blacklist the artist, each one you dislike. It's better than trying to force a new tag to describe what you're describing onto content that already is and will be.

stuff

I wasn't trying to force a new tag... I was seeing if one already existed to describe this picture. I didn't say that all the things listed added up to a specific art style. I know you probably didn't mean to come off as hostile, but that's kind of what I'm feeling.

Well, you found an image that you don't like. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry to hear that there are many features about it that you don't like. Your question about "art style" has been answered to be bara and cel_shading. The rest of the features are coincidental and not part of any "style".

But let me ask you this. What were you searching for, and what were you expecting to find?

Kemono does exist as a tag, but it's just not widely used and the wiki isn't entirely accurate. :V

Edit: For what it's worth, the whole thing is related to a meme on Twitter. Might want to take a look at wet_shirt to see what I mean.

I just happened across it on the posts page. And arguably, compared to this post #1031728, there are major differences between it and the one I used in my OP. Perhaps I should've just asked for another term for "japanese-styled art".

And I love bara art by definition. It's literally the polar opposite of the girly tag that I oh-so-loathe. However, the way some artists portray it (like in this thread), I don't like it.

Looking over the cel_shading tag, I found that I do like some art under that tag. I don't want to sacrifice any art that may have tagged under that tag, but looks like I may have to.

So, like what multiple people have told me in this thread, I'm going to have to blacklist artists who post this kind of art... I know you guy's have helped me enough already, but could anyone point me to some artists like this? I'd love to make a post somewhere on my blog to maybe help out other people who might not want to see this.

You could just blacklist kemono and tag it on posts where it applies. I didn't bring up the kemono term for no reason, you know.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you. Doing some more research into Kemono myself, I do agree with you. Guess I'll be doing the same thing I do when I see girly posts without the tag.

Good to know haven't been tagging kemono :/ I wasn't sure if "any art by a Japanese artist" was "any Japanese (style) art". I just wanted to make sure I was following community rules as some wikis redefine what words like frottage mean.

Don't worry about it. I don't know how widely-known the term even is and it's silly to think that absolutely every applicable tag will be tagged, especially the first time. This is why we just have a tag minimum versus a set of required tag types. :p
