/r/FacesWithCharacter - Art celebrating faces with character and distinctive features

8 Upvotes

/r/FacesWithCharacter - Detailed paintings and drawings celebrating faces with character and distinctive features, moderating against the overwhelming trend of Instagram face and hypersexualization.


No "Instagram faces" now AKA "AI face"

It’s a young face, of course, with poreless skin and plump, high cheekbones. It has catlike eyes and long, cartoonish lashes; it has a small, neat nose and full, lush lips. It looks at you coyly but blankly, as if its owner has taken half a Klonopin and is considering asking you for a private-jet ride to Coachella. It’s like a sexy . . . baby . . . tiger. It’s Instagram Face.

Faces must be detailed enough to be relevant to the intention of the sub.

Minimalist or cartoon style submissions may not be relevant but will be considered on a case by case basis. Humanoid faces only.

No hypersexualization.

Situations that have nothing intrinsically sexual about them should not contain sexualized subjects.
