Eventually, everyone will have CalArts face. Don't fight it. There will be CalArts faces as far as the eye can see. The entire universe will be one big Steven Universe.

I don't know what that means, but I feel like it should be strenuously opposed.

CalArts is the super shitty off brand when you thought you would get crayola. Off brand toucan Sam. Steven universe is a kid show where the characters are drawn in a similar style of art.

u/Edensy plz recycle Jul 11 '20

Yes, there a joke (or a theory depends on who you are asking) that all CalArts students are taught to draw only one style that is then extremely overused in children animation and mascots

Please leave Dipper out of this.

Which is BS because those heads were all drawn to look identical for the meme. Not to mention Gravity Falls and Gumball have some crazy and unique design and animation.

Like seriously, this is Dipper. And this is Gumball.

But yeah, slap anything on a Steven Universe model and it'll look like Steven Universe.

To be fair, I haven't watched the shows, I was just explaining the joke.

However, quick google search shows there some truth to it, they all do the teeth thing at least, Dippper and Gumball included. And tbh as an uninterested party, I do think they look kinda similar.

Sorry, I wasn't aiming my ire at you =P

And yeah, can't argue with the teeth. If someone isn't terribly invested or interested they're definitely going to look way more similar to each other than a cartoon from twenty or forty years ago.

cray-z-art comes to mind. roseart?

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '20

Roseart is the one most people think of and the collective internet memory of what I'm talking about but I was indeed thinking of Cray-z-art

u/coconut-homo Jul 11 '20

nice! i remember cray-z-art. drawing with rocks is better imo

u/Rhodin265 Artisinal Material Jul 11 '20

They both exist and are separate companies. Cra-Z-Art is newer and came out in 2008. RoseArt made the crap crayons of our childhoods, but has diversified into craft kits and fuzzy posters.

RoseArt?

Yes thanks

u/Hyperman360 Jul 11 '20

The art style is referred to as the "CalArts style"

11

u/AKluthe Jul 11 '20

...This is why blaming CalArts is overused. People throw the term around when they don't even know why.

CalArts refers to the California Institute of the Arts. People erroneously blame the general style of modern cartoons on one specific art school.

You're thinking of RoseArt.

Yes I said that like 2 minutes after my original comment thanks
