The dog
Exceedingly accurate depiction, first place was warranted
The fact that 1st place could cite a credible source is what really does it for me.
Is this the actual ACTUAL picture or some sort of AI recreation based on the drawing?
It's like a tall headcrab
Yeah greyhounds be awkward like that
Omg it is!
Well, the second place is more crafty, but where's the fun in that? There would be huge amounts of similar nice pictures in the competition. The first place makes me laugh and uses a way to look at the dog shape that I haven't seen before. I prefer this added value to perfect technique.
my father that teaches drawing in a comics school always says "drawing iperrealistic is easy, having your artstyle is very difficult and most of the time people don't have one"
Title was doggy mcdogface
Artstyle vs art quality

Honestly, I think it shows how throughly democracy fails to deliver what reality is and how feelings dictate the choices people make.
When it comes to art the goal is to make the person experiencing the art feel something. Whether that be awe, happiness, sadness, anger, etc. The 1st place winner gave me (and apparently most people) a more intense emotional reaction so it's better art.
Now, as for the skill level on display, the 2nd one obviously takes more skill, but skill is only one component of art and depending on your end goal it can be completely unimportant to the piece.
So no, democracy didn't fail, it delivered exactly what it should have in this instance.
I think it's completely valid to vote according to your feelings. That's how you determine what you find important in those you vote for. Drawings are a form of art and the purpose of art is to invoke specific feelings in the consumer - apparently more people enjoyed the first drawing and voted for it, which is completely valid for a competition for "drawings"; it wasn't a competition for drawing skills, just the pictures themselves.
What I find much more problematic for democracy is misinformation, especially if deliberate by news outlets, politicians or lobbyists. They know how to manipulate feelings to get what they want.
Deserved winner
Tough competition
Absolute classic
Democracy has failed us!
At least this once, it objectively has not.
:-DDDDD
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative! Also art is complicated.
Pure democracy = rule of the stupid because there's more of them.

yeah ok you're all so quirky because you like the shitty drawing or whatever.
And we called it Doggy McDogface.
i know, people are just supporting the second place one to be 'quirky' cause it's the underdog
