Try again please, a better flag then just "bad art." Why is it bad art, is the style sloppy? is the anatomy wrong? is the coloring incorrect? are the lines not connecting? what is wrong with this?
Pretty much all art from nearly a decade ago or older, should be excused from criticism that is a bit too harsh.
People don't really notice the transition, but art applications and methods of drawing keeps gradually improving. The skills and tools available to the artists today are extremely different than what they were 10 years ago. Go ahead. Write down the name of your favorite well-aged franchise and then the name of your favorite character from said franchise in the search field. Then look at the art on the most recent page. Remember it. Open it in a new tab, or whatever, just remember it. Then click on the LAST page of the search and look at how art looked several years ago.
I tried for fun, to search for kirisame_marisa broom_riding Here's how a good art piece, accepted under the rules and quality-standards of danbooru, looked 12 years ago: post #1431 and here's how a good art piece of today over 26mil images later looks like: post #2678789
I have to agree with cd young here. Don't claw your way back to nearly a decade ago and start vomiting on older art. It's a waste of everybody's time. Thank you.
