Absurd proportions? Come on, not worse than any newer picture of Mogudan...

I know. I'm mad about this too, and think it's unfair, since Mogudan is also acceptable.

Hell, reading the Pixiv page, the artist even says that this is a Mogudan-artstyle parody.

Someone's arguing Mogudan doesn't draw absurd proportions?

more that it shouldn't be deleted on that condition alone

"That other thing is worse than this" is no way to argue the goodness of an image.

Stick to emphasizing the good points about an image, rather than trying to compare it against whatever.

The Janitors will be the ones to decide that.

Anyway, the key problem I notice is not the bust-waist-hip-thigh proportions, but rather the fact that the girl's head is disproportionately small compared to the rest of her body. Bad anatomy in action.

See also post #752964 for another Mogudan style parody.

I disagree. Small heads are a stylistic choice emphasizing secondary sexual characteristics. See for example Miyabi_Tsuzuru or Asanuma. I feel there's a need to further distinguish between errors and bad anatomy/bad proportions used in this way due to the latter requiring a more subjective reference point (or at least one that needs to be defined, such as with the breasts categories).

If it's meant in parody of another artist's style, and it parodies that style well (as this certainly does. it's hilarious) I don't think it's right to delete the image. It's doing what it's intended to do very, very well. And that's one of the fundamentals of art.

The same could be said of plenty of furry or guro art, but doesn't mean they belong on Danbooru.

As an aside, I'm pretty sure some of Mogudan's stuff falls outside of the purview of Danbooru as well.

I'm quite aware of why it's done, and all that. However, intentional disproportion is still disproportion. All that reducing the size of the head itself does is make the figure look pinheaded.

What we have here is the figure changing proportions drastically below the shoulders and collarbone; note how the waist is only slightly less broad than the shoulders themselves, something that simply does not happen with exaggerated hourglass figures like this.

The ultimate effect is not to emphasize the size of the rest of the figure, but to make it look as though the artist forgot his proportions partway through the drawing process.

Also, the Mogudan parody here is in the way everything from the bust downwards is drawn, not what's above. Note how the nipples match Mogudan's Ayanami Rei exactly, as do the peeking panties under the shortened skirt.
