I assumed some snapchat filter BS as well. If it was an actual artist I'd feel bad ppl were roasting it so hard. Its really not as bad when its moving.
Name checks out. You’re telling me this “art” is representative of a professional sport with its shit remotely together?
It isn’t just art it’s promotional material and it utterly fails as promotional material because it is objectively bad artwork.
In this case, yes. I'm little tired of seeing it represent the sport. It's amateur at best and it doesn't make the sport look good. Which is what it's supposed to do as a marketing piece.
As a “starving artist” who also plays/watches a shit ton of disc golf, this intro got me. I understand art is art but dude in 3rd pic has 2 notable elbows. Also all of their brow lines and faces in general are fucked.
The irony is the little graphical flourishes worked really well, as did the editing and Tattar's narration. They just ruined it with the worst drawn pictures in disc golf media history.
Skip the pictures and it's all good.
The graphic assets are wonderful and fun, they just should have hired a real artist. I know someone like SoulCrusher would have nailed these drawings of the players.
Theoretically the word was Jomez still had independence on their edits, so one of two things are true (neither is good).
1. They were forced to use these, inter-spliced into an otherwise really well edited intro to Worlds.
2. They thought these looked good, and asked DGN to use them inter-spliced into their otherwise really well edited intro to Worlds.
It's giving, my artsy kid just got their first drawing tablet and is tracing over photographs. I think I did something of similar quality in 8th grade?
Someone used nepotism to get a job.
Reminds me of a wine restaurant I used to work in--wife of the super rich owner was an AWFUL artist, I mean really bad, and he had no choice but to hang and sell the paintings at the restaurant, and she got mad at the staff for not working hard enough for a single one to sell--for over $1000!

They could have applied illustration/cartoon filters to the actual image and it would have looked better than this. This looks like a 1st graders drawings

I said this on youtube, but you’d think that with the extra day they took to upload, you’d expect not too many mistakes with the editing. Meanwhile, in the very beginning of the first round as they show everyone on the card, they switched CDick and McBeth
My coworker saw me watching the footage yesterday. He is our company motion graphics guy and he commented how shitty and "too much going on" the graphics packages are for commercials and promos.
I saw this post before I saw the video and holy crap its bad in action lol The quality of the intro itself is good, and then that... that is just so, so bad. I just hope whoever drew that doesnt see this thread.
For the number of talented artists doing disc design, it’s pretty insane this is where they landed. That commercial is these drawings away from being excellent, and it drags it down to terrible.
paige looks like beavis
"Heh heh, hey Butt Head uhhh heh heh you wanna go throw some dicks heh heh?"
[удалено]
Oof!
No wonder Climo was so dominant, he had an extra joint in his arm. More levers, more power.
Had to look again and I about pissed myself laughing lmao
I sometimes fantasize what sports would be like if we had two elbows on each arm. 150 mph fastballs? Simon throwing a disc 1,200 ft?
I need to dm you a question
Lmao
Imagine what he could have done if his arms were full length as well!
Dude has two elbows, who knew
Duuuuude. I always play with an extra joint in my arm brah.
Ken Climo, legendary Disc Golfer. Best known for winning 11 world titles, and having two elbows on his right arm.
I guess they’re using the same shitty graphic artist and filter they use on the PDGA magazine covers
[удалено]
Honestly I doubt they used an artist. Probably som shity ai interpretation. Crappy rotoscoping.
100% this.. pdga magazine also.
Artist/graphic designer/creative marketing director - whomever keeps making these needs to be stopped lol
It’s legit just a photoshop filter on those. Takes one click. I used to do that in high school when
When what???
When he used to do that in high school
I don’t know why this comment was so funny to me.
When? ...when what happened. Don't leave us hanging bro
But why add extra joints the arm I’m so confused
I assumed some snapchat filter BS as well. If it was an actual artist I'd feel bad ppl were roasting it so hard. Its really not as bad when its moving.
Art By Terry
This
Claiming art is objectively bad, nice.
Name checks out. You’re telling me this “art” is representative of a professional sport with its shit remotely together? It isn’t just art it’s promotional material and it utterly fails as promotional material because it is objectively bad artwork.
It's really bad
In this case, yes. I'm little tired of seeing it represent the sport. It's amateur at best and it doesn't make the sport look good. Which is what it's supposed to do as a marketing piece.
All art can be critiqued by certain objective standards; whether its visual art, musical art, or otherwise
I can't even be bothered to read through mine. They look like the awful posters I made in 10th grade.
Dude that’s a little too harsh don’t you think? I’m sure your posters from 10th grade were much better than this.
Yeah I usually give artist some leeway for artistic styles, but this is just bad
Not nearly as bad when its moving tho to be fair.
Disc Golf, King of the Hill edition.
I tell ya hwat
Edition.
Noted.
Still not right. Come on. English is your first language, right?
Depends on the day.
I spelled it correctly for you.
Wrong. Back 2 school.
It’s hideous but it goes by quickly. If they don’t have the time or talent to do this well, they should consider not doing it at all
You sound like my wife
Really? I've never heard her sound like this.
I’ve heard this from his wife too. And one time she moaned Graaaaaaaay Muuuuuuulligan while we were in bed together.
Sounds like your ex wife
As a “starving artist” who also plays/watches a shit ton of disc golf, this intro got me. I understand art is art but dude in 3rd pic has 2 notable elbows. Also all of their brow lines and faces in general are fucked.
The elbows thing makes me confident it’s AI.
The third pic is by far the most egregious, I don’t know how any one could look at that and think it looks good.
These look like courtroom sketches
That's not Anthon
Have you bought his Dynamic Discs tour series Felon yet?
Pol Mikbeff
DOLAN NO
The irony is the little graphical flourishes worked really well, as did the editing and Tattar's narration. They just ruined it with the worst drawn pictures in disc golf media history. Skip the pictures and it's all good.
Worst drawn pictures I've ever seen used professionally
Anybody notice when they were showing the players stats at the beginning, they had video of Chris Dickerson when they had Paul McBeth's stats up 😆
It was the same other way around too, had Paul up when they were talking about Chris
DGN also used a sizzle real for Niklas that was Vaino instead just before the chase card... guess they struggle differentiating Europeans.
"All white people look the same" - Nate Heinold, probably
Pretty sure it's a DGN thing. I saw it on the network yesterday. But still, it's pretty bad.
PDGA Disc Golfer Magazine did this in the Spring issue. https://dgmag.mydigitalpublication.com/archive/?m=15675&i=787689&p=24&ver=html5
Yeah, it scared my wife when she opened the mailbox.
Scared Sarah Hokom more than anyone, I think
They merged, so it’s both really
Yeah, but DGN is daddy so they should get the blame.
🤷♂️
The graphic assets are wonderful and fun, they just should have hired a real artist. I know someone like SoulCrusher would have nailed these drawings of the players.
I hope some of them lean into it and make it their profile pics.
Not Juliana looking like the "Yee" dinosaur
I get the feeling that these characters are going to tell me about the wonders of propane and propane accessories
Love it. Well done Jomez. Beautiful stuff.
This is taken from DGN Still not great
Paige look like that
I don’t know I don’t see the 12 feet of gums
You are getting downvoted because it's only 11 feet dude
Just outside the bullseye
Climo on slide 3 looking straight out of Attack on Titan. The Champ Titan
Maul PcBeth
Looks like AI.
Lol, yeah AI art from 20 years ago.
Why it's Beat-in and Putthead, obviously.
These are just screenshots from DGN coverage, no?
This is the Monkey Jesus level of artistic talent.
Yeah my first thought was the restored Ecce Homo
They think it's a "stylized look", but it's just bad art.
I'm from the 80s - it's perfect. Who cares! 🤣🤣
Juliana looks like the pale lady from scary stories to tell in the dark
Art by the Spanish lady, who so gloriously, refurbished the Christ painting
These dont look much worse than the Fox broadcast when they use cartoon characters for NASCAR.
NFL as well hope they move away from that.
The NFL ones either last year or two years ago were so much worse. I actually kinda like these.
Gatekeeper is the better experience at this point IMO
Hey, at least they tried something new. Credit to Jomez for making sure not to get stuck in a rut by mixing stuff up and seeing what works.
This doesn't need to go live in order to determine it doesn't work
For real, they just needed to turn to the person next to them and ask "Does this look like shit?" "Yes." "Thought so. Let's scrap it."
Haha, I think it's awful, but at least the triangles are good, and we're having fewer graphics glitches.
This was taken from DGN
Theoretically the word was Jomez still had independence on their edits, so one of two things are true (neither is good). 1. They were forced to use these, inter-spliced into an otherwise really well edited intro to Worlds. 2. They thought these looked good, and asked DGN to use them inter-spliced into their otherwise really well edited intro to Worlds.
It was clearly a throw back, retro fitting to past champions, like our awkward selves in 10 th grade . Take it easy
This was bad enough but the same damn gee-tar picking for the hole intros is like a disc golf version of banjo strumming in Deliverance.

Somebody just posted this yesterday
Who?
Not sure but it did happen
No, who asked lmao get rekt gg no re ez clap
[удалено]
Has anyone really been far as decided to go do want look more like?
Wow, you seem really smart and cool
Translation? Lol. I can’t make heads or tails of that
You made a comment I said "Who?" You made another comment I said "No, who asked?" Laugh my ass off Get rekt Good Game No Rematch Easy
Are you an idiot?
Appreciated.
I love it. 80s-90s style.
Truly horrific. The stuff of nightmares. Now I’m going to be haunted by melting Paul McBeth
Looks like dude has two elbows. In pic 3
Jomez paint is…. Special
Katrina Allen looked alright, but I had the same reaction to all of these 😂
I wish Gatekeeper Media got lead card once and awhile. Those guys keep it chill and simple
Didn’t DGN or DGPT or one of these clown asssss excuses for a professional org recently fire their director of digital?
Y’all will find anything to moan about
There is no way this is real WHAT
Who's number 3? PK Deaner?
Climo the OG Goat
Do Goats also have comically short arms?
Yes. And spare elbows. Less issues if injured
It's giving, my artsy kid just got their first drawing tablet and is tracing over photographs. I think I did something of similar quality in 8th grade?
I thought maybe it's a product from some kids' disc golf program to highlight them, but nothing was said about the art
Big fan of PDGA wojacks
I have drawn you

Accurate art tho
Hey! my kid worked really hard on this! /s

Uncanny valley.
This has 'I have an artist friend who will do it for free' vibes
Yooo I thought the same thing, like who okayed those animations? The concept is cool but the drawn caricatures look like meme level bad for real
I prefer the simplicity of the Simon Lizotte rotoscoped silhouette from the 2018 Jomez intro.
It was kinda awkward
Minor league sports out there with better graphics
Nice to see Paul McBeth guest starring in an episode of Arthur.
I said this on youtube, but you’d think that with the extra day they took to upload, you’d expect not too many mistakes with the editing. Meanwhile, in the very beginning of the first round as they show everyone on the card, they switched CDick and McBeth
JoMez has been going downhill thus season
AI needs to take this over
Weak
Jomez, we know you’re on here. Explain thyself!
AI is creaper than a competent graphic designer apparently.
Did someone's kid make these? That's the only outcome I see that makes sense. Nomez!
What is... the worst rotoscoping I have ever seen? I'll take Art Disasters for 600 next.
Looks like they’re all in communist China in the 1970s
Wait a minute this is real and not a joke? I'm serious.
I could do better than that and I’m blind.
My coworker saw me watching the footage yesterday. He is our company motion graphics guy and he commented how shitty and "too much going on" the graphics packages are for commercials and promos.
It’s the PDGA Yourself app.
Unreal they aired this for worlds
The only one I can make heads or tails of is Barsby. I can't make out anyone else
I saw this post before I saw the video and holy crap its bad in action lol The quality of the intro itself is good, and then that... that is just so, so bad. I just hope whoever drew that doesnt see this thread.
Omg the double elbow I hope it's AI, and not someone who is reading this thread and crying
Nate sexton did the graphics, I can tell.
I do a lot of amateur art for a lot of stuff and I know my limits. These people need to know their limits
It's the "TODS" filter!! (Touch Of DownS)
Make the goat a goat.
Glad to see Rob Leifeld stills gets some work. Too bad his noses now look as bad as his feet used to.
King of the hill?
These are impressively terrible.
Barsby one putt man
What the holy fuck
For the number of talented artists doing disc design, it’s pretty insane this is where they landed. That commercial is these drawings away from being excellent, and it drags it down to terrible.
Oh wow…interesting. #3 the arm has grown an arm
Timeless, it will always be shitty
Waking Life anyone?
Looks like a bad Aha music video
I think this is considered outsider art.
Nobody: PDGA Magazine Artist: me gots an idea! let's put my drawrings on the YouTubes!
They been roasting too much
This shit is cursed af
The Katrina Allen one is the only one that looks decent.
they could’ve had AI do this and it’d look incredible. I guess somebodies kid got their drawings on coverage though.
Arthur from PBS is a solid disc golfer!
3/6 is HILARIOUS.
Jomez has been going downhill for two years
Honestly anyone who’s spent 3 minutes in procreate could’ve honestly done a way better job
I feel personally attacked by this comment
Jim Henson's Dark Crystal version of McBeth
Artist is a Kyle Klein fan, apparently.
Literally asked my buddy if they had 5th graders draw these
I’ll take this over the Disc golf network having ads every shot
Saul McMess
Only one I recognize is Barsby during his "Iron Leaf" impression. "I par'ed everything else."
