No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

This. I'm afraid to provide examples in case OP wants to train an AI model on artists I admire, or something.

What are the steps to reproduce an art style using computer programs and without artificial intelligence?
Emphasis mine.

which might be further context. So they might just be looking for inspiration.
I'm not certain if there's actually a name for it, but I'm rather partial to this style I see all over the place in which a human artist uses physical media to create something that evokes emotions in the audience.
🤔
Like performance art?
The feeling of cheaply produced 80s and 90s cartoon productions. Clean, minimal lines with no or very little lineweight variation. Bright colors and distinct silhouettes. Facial structures somewhere between to 80s TV cartoon anime, which were themselves often inspired by American cartoons and not nearly as distinct as modern anime most often is, and American comic books as drawn by Jim Lee or JRJR. Big influence of technology designs from blocky designs like Transformers, and comics like Liefeld where guns or robots are just stuffed with nonsense greebles.
Or at least I'm trying.
Vector/polygonal, truly implemented for the technical benefits* and likely untextured**. Which will make it more niche than the early 3D stuff that did use vertex colors ( EDIT: such as Spyro (specifically skyboxes, LoD) and Crash Bandicoot (Crash's animations are cool too)).
3D polygonal+vertex color actually isn't that difficult to do. I've done some, the real issue (aside from making it good) is actually the animation/game around it. I haven't done much and continue not doing much because personal stuff.
2 examples (of my own stuff) I've used many times before
* less data while also rendering at native res without needing extra work (8K or even on a 50ft Billboard? Sure). MIDI (you can use higher-quality soundfonts) or other procedural stuff (sounds/sfxr, textures) are nice too.
** I'm not against not-too-many general-use textures, but I tried this (including a watercolor splatter texture I made) without mapping and wasn't really happy with the results... plus normal maps won't work with per-vertex¯ materials. So this probably takes a lot of effort/skill to work as-intended.
¯ not strictly necessary, but I don't mind the idea aesthetically and a free optimization sounds nice even though low poly+vertex-color is already a low bar (unless per-vertex could help with webGL, mobile, VR, or really old devices etc?)
Without question, Global Village Coffeehouse, Corporate Gen-X Cyber, and Utopian Scholastic.
Take me the fuck BACK.

hands down, my favorite 2D artist
Titian, Sargent, and Klimt walk into a bar tended by Modigliani..
Art nouveau.
Kentaro Miura who did Berserk mangas and Tetsuo Hara who did Fist of the North Star mangas.
I was super into Moebius for drawings but now it's the impressionists style I'm longing for.
