Craig of the Creek, I hate the character designs because of that annoying calarts style, only this time it's even worse. Like what the hell is up with the tallish guy's ear? Or how the girl next to the tallish guy looks less like a normal young girl and more like a hairy gnome. Craig himself is the only character that looks okay but I'm bothered by his weird gamer dent. And don't get me started on that mutated parrot.

I haven't seen the complete show, only clips of it and it just seems generic and catters to the nerdy weird outcast kids(I was one though), but I hope it's good and the clips I watched were out of context. It's just these character design suck more than the show's lame ass food and recipes.

All the characters look like 3D sex dolls. AND THERE’S NO FUCKING ANIMATION. It’s just mouth-moving!
Also, the show is shit. 
It’s nothing but a show about dudes forced to be stupid bimbos with no personalities and treated like stupid bimbos. They are not trans women. They are guys forced to be slaves. THAT’S SOMETHING OUT OF A FUCKING PORN COMIC ONLINE!
It’s not even funny or sexy. It’s just retarded.

It looks even worse if you draw other cartoons in the Big Mouth style.

It's just not my thing, because I like a little sharpness and edge in art. The round soft style is just not my cup of tea.

I agree.

On a related note.

Normally I don't give a damn about the whole cal-arts art trend at this point. There's nothing wrong with the style in of itself, and it's also one of the more overused styles.

And you know, I get it. Some people actually like it and simplicity tends to be the big rule with animation. Hence why Hanna-Barbera were the kings in making their art style relatively in line with what was going on in the 50's all the way into the 70's and early 80's until the game changed.

But there comes a point where you see too much of it and you either hate it or become indifferent to it.

My main criticism is that it low-keys represents corporate uniformity, as Cal-Art itself wants it's student to be both creative and conform, which apparently results in many artists who have a unique art style before they enter and end developing a rather uniform-like style when they graduate. I don’t know, maybe I'm just pessimistic.

Wasn't the whole "Cal-Arts style" thing debunked years ago? I mean, most shows that fit into that stereotype only have a few bean face MCs and the rest of the character designs diverge from there. It's like saying the PPG style is just Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. And it's not even like all bean-face shows are written by Cal-Arts graduates.

But I agree with it being corporate conformity. It even shows in the writing, with the protagonists being the same young, plucky and "make happy" archetype(that's probably too vague, but you get the point). Infinity Train was even cancelled for not wanting its 5th season to have a "child entry point".

What I mean by the Cal-Arts style is not the bean face specifically just the weird roundish art style you know.

The concept art should be the actual design of the animation itself. I chalk this up to laziness!
