The dog
This is high art and belongs in a museum. I’m not joking.
I unironically agree. 2nd place looks more like a dog, but 1st place feels more like a dog.
You get it
Can confirm, she were high while drawing that dog.
Exceedingly accurate depiction, first place was warranted
The fact that 1st place could cite a credible source is what really does it for me.
It’s like a tall headcrab
Yeah greyhounds be awkward like that
Omg it is!
Well, the second place is more crafty, but where’s the fun in that? There would be huge amounts of similar nice pictures in the competition. The first place makes me laugh and uses a way to look at the dog shape that I haven’t seen before. I prefer this added value to perfect technique.
my father that teaches drawing in a comics school always says “drawing iperrealistic is easy, having your artstyle is very difficult and most of the time people don’t have one”

Artstyle vs art quality
Tough competition
Deserved winner
Honestly, I think it shows how throughly democracy fails to deliver what reality is and how feelings dictate the choices people make.
When it comes to art the goal is to make the person experiencing the art feel something. Whether that be awe, happiness, sadness, anger, etc. The 1st place winner gave me (and apparently most people) a more intense emotional reaction so it’s better art.
Now, as for the skill level on display, the 2nd one obviously takes more skill, but skill is only one component of art and depending on your end goal it can be completely unimportant to the piece.
So no, democracy didn’t fail, it delivered exactly what it should have in this instance.
I am cynical, or is it more likely that the winner was voted in fOaR Le mEMes? I’m not invalidating your appreciation of the second entry, I’m just sceptical that it was elected in sincerity.
I mean… memes can bring the same joy as art in their own way. I would argue that memes are a form of art anyway. A very accessible and universal type of art. If it inspired people to vote for it then they must have felt some kinda way even if it was just silly shenanigans
This might be true, but there’s something about how bad this picture is that I don’t think I could do worse. It’s uniquely bad in such a profound way that it would require real skill to make something more universally terrible.
🤔 What system should we make, then? No system we’ve ever made so far has worked. There’s always endless suffering no matter what we do or how hard we try politically.
Didn’t a little kid draw the first one and that’s why it won?
Democracy has failed us!
At least this once, it objectively has not.
:-DDDDD
Pure democracy = rule of the stupid because there’s more of them.
