The popular animator Maplestar became the center of attention on social media X (Official Twitter), suffering a lot of criticism this week. Specialized in producing animations of well-known works, a large flood of users strongly criticized the artist.
To remember, 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 got 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 it has achieved in this highly specialized niche is undeniable. His stunning and aesthetically engaging work has been warmly received by the community, resulting in significant income through platforms like Patreon . However, as is common in the artistic world, Maplestar also faces criticism and questions about her working style.
Recently, an influential Twitter user, self-described “anime critic” and active member of the Nostrafort artistic community, expressed his disapproval of Maplestar's creative direction when producing animations.
“Being an artist with this type of content distorts your art. Being able to make something jaw-dropping, something beautiful, something incredible, you use that to satisfy idiots' desires. And yes, it makes money, but in the long run you will lose more to companies and even 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 to arrive in support of the artist:
If people want to start with this stuff, good for them. Also, the thing about limiting yourself and having doors closed is false, because there is an NSFW artist who is working at Warner Bros.
In Digimon they hire NSFW artists, in Invincible a NSFW artist is working, in RIOT Games they hire artists from that area Yordle, Akira Toriyama also did the same type of content. Why don't you shut up?
I call it, 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 are paid for our work since the concept of “payment” was created, if this one got 1000 euros for an animation like that Well, the The truth is that, oh, it's a machine and I hope this reaches the ears of big companies, not all of us can make a living from SFW art, companies are full and often you are forced to be a NSFW Artist or to be a waiter... and Honestly, I don't even do this 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 is it with these elitists and people who think they can tell you what you waste your time on and what not? But now it turns out that you have to ask permission from the people at Twitter to know if it's practical or not. Let the artist do what he wants.
Comment if you've seen any of Maplestar's work.
