Memes are pretty much Internet Culture at this point.
They are everywhere,
they are abundant and they spread like wildfire.
But this doesnt mean that Memes cant be complete cancer.
The thing about Memes is that,
like everything
they can be extremely varied.
To me, the good and funnny Memes are the ones that are similar but still have pleanty
of variation and creativity poured into them.
So that even though the same premise is repeated it still has something new to show.
Memes are still a large part of the internet,
and on Deviantart that's no different.
Deviantart contains all sorts of varied illustrations of memes made by artists,
many of them which are actually pretty impresive.
So today I decided we would be appreciating and reviewing some of this "meme art"
And giving my commentary on it
So to begin we have this classic meme,
if you can't recognize this meme
here is a picture of its more popular version.
When you look upon this piece you really have to appreciate how detailed these things really are.
Remastered versions of crude drawings especially a favorite of mine,
because I find it very fascinating
To see how some artists redraw and interpret low quality pictures in their own style.
Another thing I enjoy is when artists put their own little twist on popular images.
This one especially impressive because of the convincing distorted anatomy and detail in the texture.
So here we have a "pepe the frog anime character."
and of course this concept is nothing new.
There are lots of people on the internet who like to turn random things into anime boys.
...For some reason.
Hell this same artist even made candy bars into anime boys
But I got to say this one has a surprising amount of care poured into it.
I also have to say that the uh...
Pepe costume is uh...
Is a little bit creepy.
But it's still an interesting concept and I like the bright colors and lighting.
Now this certain pepe I especially like cause stylistic approach to it.
The cartoonish, detailed and more polished version
of an otherwize crudely drawn picture is something I really have to appreciate.
And it brings a freash take on a very recognizable image.
The next few pictures are from a fairly recent meme,
Which is a phenomenon on youtube
where people take the "We are Number One" song from an old TV show called:
Lazy Town
and edit it in various ways on youtube.
And while this meme has absolutely nothing of substance,
it's kind of a guilty plessure to me.
And of course people on Deviantart have made several art pieces about it
This first piece is of a main character in the "We are Number One." edits,
Robbie Rotten.
And I have to say the simplistic cartoon style and
energetic pose really captures the flexibility and movement
that Robby Rotten actually conveys in the show.
This picture has a surprising amount of emotion to it.
Even though you cant see Robby's face you can still tell simply by his positioning
that he is frustrated with his current situation.
The coloring is also quite good,
I feel like it gives off more texture and detail then the linework ever could.
Sportacus x Robbie
welp looks like there's yaoi even in Lazy Town.
Like this is actually a thing,
it's hilarious.
So here we have the obligatory Sonic version of the current media we are dealing with.
However, unlike other crossovers I feel like this actually fits pretty well.
Considering the exaggerated movement, ridiculous outfits and bright colors.
Sonic actually seems like something that would fit in with the style of Lazy Town.
And here we have the furry version of lazy town,
and this one is also pretty well done.
The designs are unique and fit their characters
and the bright colors also adds to the overall atmosphere of Lazy Town.
Also funfact Robby Rotten actually has his own cannon animated fursona in the show.
I thought that was interesting.
And now we have a pony version of stephanie.
Well folks, we've already seen Sonic, furry and pony versions of LazyTown.
We're hitting every major fandom on deviantart.
I've never seen a piece of media do that on this website so quickly before.
And each of them has been of pretty high quality...
surprisingly, good job LazyTown.
Now as much as I hate the Harambe meme,
I still have to say that this is a high quality piece.
Even though the meme is pretty much dead,
you still have to appreciate the sheer amount of details in this picture.
I would especially like to mention the flying bananas in the background.
I thought that was a nice touch.
Now I have always been a lover of pixel art,
and this piece is one of my favorites
simply because of the aestheticly pleasing colors and shading.
However I feel like the face is a bit off when it comes to replicating the anatomy in the original picture.
I feel like the mouth protrudes a little to much from the face and the head could be longer.
Now this is a picture of another recent meme,
known as "Biggie cheese"
Now this meme is based off of uh...
this thing.
And if you want to hear the full story of why this is a meme,
I'll leave a link below.
So here is a um...
Very
interesting take on the character.
And even though it is slightly rough in a lot of places, it is surprisingly...
Accurate actually
I just find it Hilarious really.
Oh I especially like that they had to
draw an arrow with the word "ass" pointing to the buttcheek
peeking out from his enormous stomach.
That is a fantastic touch my friend.
Now this is a more cutesy take on the character,
but it's still fairly well drawn.
The only other thing I would really want to see is a colored version of this.
Anyway, my name is SolarSands,
this has been Browsing Deviantart,
and
goodbye.
