Art is only art in the eyes of the maker. There are people who think that DaVinchi’s artwork is shit, I assure you this. It doesn’t matter who you are, when something is titled art, it is aways are. Even if you’re the Pope/ruler of the world, something that the maker lables art will always be art, because the maker says it is. Unless you hate your own artwork, only the maker can deside wether their, and ONLY their art is art. I believe we can ALL agree with this, can we not?

~WrexSoul, on the comments of “Sunrises Don’t Smile”

Contrary to popular belief and what uneducated TARTlets such as WrexSoul might have you believe, not everything labeled as “art” is actually art. True art is intended to convey a message or emotion, with an intent which can be interpreted in any number of ways by the viewer. However, when the intent is clear as day and there’s no deeper sense of meaning behind it, a piece loses the right to be labeled as art.

Seeing as the majority of our readers are offended idiots from deviantART, I realize that last paragraph may have gone over some of your heads. To better illustrate my point for you uninformed folk, I’ll go ahead and show you an example of a piece which you may wrongly assume is “art” when you first look at it, so I can step afterwards in and explain to you why it’s not.

Today, DCQC contributor Mr. Kaiser brings you another collection of short reviews.

And by “short reviews;” I mean like, really short reviews.

As in maybe three to four sentences each.

Eyup. That’s pretty fucking short.

Can you tell I’m trying my best to fill up space here?

Holy shit: This foreword is almost as long as the article itself.

Today’s article is brought to you by forum poster “OldIronGiant”, and was originally posted in this thread.

I have come to enjoy and play a great deal of video games. I will even go as far as to admit I have become what is commonly referred to as a  “fanboy” of certain series and games. However, I have the restraint to keep myself from devoting myself entirely to a single title, lest I become completely and utterly obsessed. If only others out there could demonstrate the same restraint as I.

Enter Lindaru, “an 19 years old gamer from Finland,” as her YouTube so eloquently puts it. She falls under the sect dedicated to none other than Final Fantasy. More specifically, Final Fantasy IX (“9″ for those of you unfamiliar with roman numerals), which seems to mostly revolve around a character named “Zidane Tribal”, who looks like a regular at Anthrocon.

Sir Jimbo: The Pain That I’ll Choose (Written and illustrated by TARTlet Rave-Anna) is the heartwarming tale of two lesbians trying to overcome the difficult disease of leprosy. It’s a story about the spirit of love and how it copes with an affliction that makes your skin sluff off and fall into sticky piles of goo on the floor. Well it’s either that or the artist can’t draw for shit. One of the two. It’s hard to tell.

Habermann: You know what the most fucked up part of this comic is? It’s not just about two generic lesbians or the “artist’s” original characters: It actually stars the members of Russian pop sensation t.A.T.u.! You know? Those two chicks who pretended to be lesbians until having to admit to everyone that they weren’t way back in 2003? Apparently, the fact they aren’t real lesbians hasn’t deterred rabid lesbian weeaboos from further exploring the coupling.

There’s something to be said about people who masturbate to art of furry video game characters. That “something” is that it is fucking disgusting, at least in the eyes of the general population. While most furries admit that they are fucked up in the head and that their fetish is disgusting (before proceeding to do what they know is fucked up and disgusting anyway), there are furries out there who are convinced that their porn source is more than just porn: It is ART.

Today’s subject GamezLover is on a mission to make it known that furries posing does NOT automatically constitute as porn. According to him, an anthromorph can be “sexy” without being the feature of fap material. Let us take a look at his work, to see if he can really reconcile “Class” with “Ass.”
