>>44640863Two great reasons:
1- Lack of experience on the part of the artist, generally amateur artists work freely unlike a professional who is subjected to specific demands and deadlines, as well as the rigorous supervision and feedback process, since they must not only appeal to the taste of the contractor, if not to carry out an extensive market research, since you are not only creating a character, if not a product, and as such it should generate profits with its commercialization directly and indirectly. An example, some pokemon are not created with the purpose of being the most commercial or successful, but they make others by comparison look better, in this case these are used as a sales tool to promote another product of the same company.
2- Prejudice, as many have explained, we tend to be elitists, we put independent creations in a lower category and we tend to praise an official product, long before qualifying them based on their artistic merit. (Luckily, thanks to new technologies and different financing platforms this is starting to decrease, giving independent creators a better opportunity to compete)
In summary, the large number of low-quality art in the independent sector far exceeds those with a decent level for lack of a quality filter, and the few times that we find something outstanding we tend to criticize it based on a preconceived judgment.
Note: Don't take my comment seriously, I'm just a fucking furfag who loves to watch fakemon based on their fetishes, in this case rapist Orcs.
