Is anyone else tired of little stick figures and blobby figures and stick blobby figures doing cute but sad/emo things?

It's not new anymore.

It's not original anymore.

It's not even cute anymore.

It all started with Jeff Thomas, really. That's when it became popular. And I hate to say that because he has a DA account and there is an excruciatingly slim chance that he should see this. But he is not to blame. He had a good idea and ran with it. And they are cute. He took the time to make them quality, even if they are stereotypical, but that's part of the joke. I get it.

But now people are essentially ripping off the same thing. I think there were too many Pon & Zi comic things to begin with. Too much of a "good" thing, you know...

Now people are just drawing stick figures doing cute, sad things. And it's the same thing over and over. I see people drawing them as if that was a substitute for real artwork. I understand art blocks. I understand that you need inspiration. But stick blobs taping their heart back together because some mysterious off-screen person broke it is just worn out.

And they're all like this: "Oh woe is me, I'm expressing myself through a stick/blob, but everyone knows it's really how I feel but they feel that way too so it's ok and we're all lonely and sad."

Give it a break.

Draw something new. Draw something original (or at least something we haven't all seen a million times before in the same way.) Draw something that isn't so sickeningly heart-spilling and obvious.
