The Bean Style

Description

THE BEAN STYLE IS THE WAY!

Aka the "CalArts Style" but Pan Pizza dubbed it The Bean Style and that sounds cooler (also, so I could make that Bojack reference)

Unpopular opinion: I actually don't think the new Thundercats cartoon looks that bad. I didn't really watch the 80s cartoon or the 2011 one, but I still think it looks cool. I know there's a bunch of complaints about this style being used too much and them "ruining the Thundercats" and sutff, but I'm not worried. It's a draing phase, just like how all the 90s were Ren and Stimpy-ish and all the 60's were Hann-Barbara and all the 30s was Fleischer-ish and rubberhose. We complain about the bean style now, but in a few years time we're gonna look back on this style and wish that cartoons done in whatever style becomes popular in the next decade was done in it. 

Plus it's not EVERY cartoon. Bojack isn't bean styled. Aggretsuko isn't bean style. Big Mouth isn't bean style (though maybe that would be an improvement). DuckTales, MLP, Villianous, Final Space. There's still plenty of different looking cartoons out there.

Although I will admit, after taking something so close to me and drawing it so radically different looking, I can...understand where some of it comes from. Though I don't agree with harassing the people that worked hard on the show. Chill out, they're just doing their job. Animation's hard.

That and if you guys really wanted a Thundercats show done with anime-ish animation that was...I dunno, what you may have wanted more, I guess, then ya should have watched the 2011 Thundercats when ya had the chance.

This pic was mainly made as a jumping off point so I could get on my soap box for a moment and give my input into the whole CalArts style talk that's been going on.

Ugh Fan's hair looks unnatural. Those fangs are gonna stay though, she just didn't look natural with square teeth.

If this picture of these 2 in this style somehow becomes popular, despite this being nowhere near their original style, I might lose my mind
