Popular animator Maplestar has been the center of attention on social media (Official Twitter), facing widespread criticism this week. Specializing in producing animations of well-known works, a large number of users strongly criticized the artist.
To recall, the animator has a portfolio that includes famous characters such as Makima from “ Chainsaw Man ”, Yor Forger from “ SPY x FAMILY ” and Marin Kitagawa from “ Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru “, Maplestar , the artist has made his place as an artist in the animation scene.
While some may question Maplestar's focus on creating these animations for a more mature audience, the success she has achieved in this highly specialized niche is undeniable. Her impressive and aesthetically engaging work has been warmly received by the community, resulting in significant revenue through platforms like Patreon . However, as is common in the artistic world, Maplestar also faces criticism and questions about her work style.
Recently, an influential Twitter user, a self-proclaimed “anime critic” and active member of the Nostrafort art community, expressed his disapproval of Maplestar's creative direction in producing animations.
"Being an artist with this kind of content distorts your art. Being able to create something jaw-dropping, something beautiful, something incredible, you use it to satisfy the desires of idiots. And yes, it makes money, but in the long run, you'll lose more to the companies and even to the people who will close their doors to you."
Therefore, fans in the community expressed affection for Maplestar, and it didn't take long for comments of support to arrive for the artist:
If people want to start with this stuff, good for them. Besides, the idea of limiting yourself and keeping the doors closed is false, because there's a NSFW artist working at Warner Bros.
In Digimon they hire NSFW artists, in Invincible a NSFW artist is working, in RIOT Games they hire artists from this Yordle area, Akira Toriyama also did the same kind of content. Why don't you shut up?
Chamo, it's no secret that NSFW artists have been hired by big companies for their projects.
This falls apart when you know that even Akira Toriyama drew content like this.
As long as it doesn't harm anyone, all work is honest, money is an incentive and artists have been paid for our work since the concept of "payment" was created, if this one got 1000 euros for an animation like this Well, the truth is, oh, it's a machine and I hope this reaches the ears of big companies, not all of us can live off SFW art, companies are full and many times you are forced to be a NSFW Artist or to be a waiter... and honestly, I don't even do it as a joke.
You've become a frustrated artist because your comics are subpar and can't reach the level of certain artists who do NSFW.
Morality is the revenge of the mediocre man against those who are better than him.
What's with these elitists and people who think they can tell you what to waste your time on and what not? But now it turns out you have to ask Twitter for permission to know if it's practical or not. Let the artist do what they want.
Comment if you've seen any of Maplestar's work.
