It's hard to narrow it down. It can be a lot of different things. Unique coloring, line work, shading.
An interesting story or idea that gets me thinking about stuff I hadn't before. Sometimes it's just drawing a character I really like, in a new way.

i really remember stuff that feels as though the artist really wanted to get it out no matter what (high effort even if not a lot of technical skill) and/or that they're showing you a piece of some delusion they've had for years. compositions that focus on scenes you don't often see (but could plausibly happen) are good too.
marlbara ltd's earlier stuff is so good. shame xhe went full schizoid

>they even did a great job with the story somehow
Eh, there's obvious gaping holes in the story, particularly regarding the MC's backstory.
Like were the MC and the mechanic orphans or what?
Who was the dude who drove the topless car with two ladies that the MC admires so much?
And it's implied that MC and his romantic interest hadn't really met or spoken before, but then there's a quick flash back of her happily giving her name to him, so had they met or not?
Plus it felt like, with all the times the MC crashed his car, that there was some thematic foreshadowing there that didn't end up paying off.
Also the race should have ended after he surpassed his idolised ideal (the topless car driver), and not dragged on for another five minutes against machine man - that's just poor pacing.
But still, yeah, a very good film, but obviously it had 20 minutes of cuts that can really be felt.
I do find it funny that the villains, the dictators of the planet they're racing on, a really the victims of the story. Who the fuck were the racers or race organisers to force a race on their planet without permission and possibly restart the war? They're literally driving their cars through the equivalent of area 51!
Haha, and sorry for the review, I watched fairly recently myself, and can't really talk about it to anyone beyond a single 'it's good' line.

I think that quite neatly describes what it means for someone's work to have "soul" or at least a major part of it, and how some artists later works can feel to have less of it despite the higher technical skill. Not that all amateur art is automatically soulful, you can often tell when the artist is just forcing it to hit their weekly quota of works published rather than out of genuine desire to express themselves.
Anyway for me it's ink works of various artists from different countries/cultures and time periods.

I think work that tickles my metaphorical pickle the most, is when there's a mix of realism and abstract/graphic/cartoony elements. Like in my picrel, the body could have worked for a completely realistic representation, but then the head has been heavily stylised.
Pushing it, it'd be heavily rendered and detailed environments, or detailed clothing, for very cartoony characters. Something like Jamie Hewlet's work (with the environments and clothing contrasting with the characters), or European comics and their Ligne claire style.
Boiling it down and putting it simply - I really like a contrast of Simplicity and Complexity.

goon art and cute art... and cute goon art too
maybe very specific "cool" art (WWII dogfight scenes; moss covered ruins; flying islands)
preferably simple style with almost flat pastel-like colors, but well rendered piece (still in anime style) goes too

>...and?
Why dont we all be like you and hate on other people's innoccuous opinions? Thats a better world isn't it?
The thread isnt "what is good art", it's "what speaks to you PERSONALLY". Maybe you need the English lessons.

Fair point, Ill give you that.
I think Van Gough's fucking flowers are anti-soul, but if it evokes a feeling in someone, they understand the aesthetic on some level. What kind of ignorant twat would I sound like hinting that they have bad taste? Thats all Im saying.
Carry on.

I really enjoy playboy comics, and comics that could be suspected to be from the publication.
There's something very charming about them, that goes beyond the 'haha sex' gag that I find extremely endearing.
Maybe because the characters are designed with a sexual appeal in mind? Hard to say.

For me it's Erich SOKOL, can't believe he died in 1933-2003. I. will paint anime tiddies in your honor, mr sokol

Q is so amazing. Her multi-media pieces for some of the intermissions in Dorohedoro were fucking bonkers. She literally used plasters and random crap in some of them and they still looked incredible. I bet you she is completely insane irl, but such great talent.

There's just something about hetslop drawn by homophobic pedophiles from the 3rd world that really gets me. I especially love the clear romantic intent of this drawing of children and how her non-apology on Instagram doesn't address this and instead masks her bigotry in nice language.

Because in order to be sincere, you have to risk being /beg/. I mean, look at the post you just made. You're certainly willing to risk not posting your work in the pursuit of laying the groundwork for a potential troll. Why should you have the right to do that? It's been rather uncomfortable. But you're doing your job, in that you're digging to see how I might expose myself. And you're exercising your freedom of speech to not post your work, and that's fine. More gains to you.

This nigger is right. While I wouldn't say it's not sincere, they probably did have thumbnails and went over a few iterations to finish and the right composition before doing the completed drawing. It just feels different compared to something that's done on a whim, first pose, first gesture, where there's just a lot of risk on doing a 'polished' turd. To, me it's not that much of a difference.
But you can always tell the difference between someone who draws a trend vs some schizo who is OBSESSED with a character.
