This is high art and belongs in a museum. I'm not joking.
I unironically agree. 2nd place looks more like a dog, but 1st place feels more like a dog.
You get it
Can confirm, she were high while drawing that dog.
No, just fucking no.
Reminder a random pair of glasses on the floor of a modern art museum made a bunch of dumbasses think it was an exhibit.
Modern art is just money laundering, no shade at the artists ya do what ya gotta do.
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?
AI image generation wasn’t a thing when this happened 10 years ago
For all I knew this could have been a very recent post or even if this was 10 years ago someone could've created that image on the left very recently
The image on the left was posted with the drawing 10ish years ago.
The actual picture was something like that.
No it was a person that recreated their children's images in Photoshop.
At least that's how I remember it.
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

Honestly, I think it shows how throughly democracy fails to deliver what reality is and how feelings dictate the choices people make.
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.
🤔 What system should we make, then? No system we've ever made so far has worked. There's always endless suffering no matter what we do or how hard we try politically.
Deserved winner
Tough competition
Absolute classic
Didn't a little kid draw the first one and that's why it won?
:-DDDDD
Democracy has failed us!
At least this once, it objectively has not.

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
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.
