I'll start this thread too. Here is one that sticks out as terrible. Bunk couldn't come close to replicating his own art from the 80's, and is the reason Topps should just stop using Bunk for card fronts. This is the definition of a piece of crap GPK. There is nothing good about it.

And they ruined my beloved constellation concept. Runner-up in the GPK Fan Art Stand-Off reduced to THIS. Here is the original concpet if you're interested. This was done in like 10 minutes in MS Paint, just to get the point across.

Not as bad a T-Rex but where do you think that little bone came from/represents exactly? I'd like everyone to remember that this is the same artist that did Stoned Sean... We're a long way from OS3, Dorothy!

Again, when I talk about bad art, I'm talking about art as a GPK. That means if it doesn't look like a CPK then it's bad. Look at the original. It's a good card. It's hilarious that Bunk couldn't emulate his OWN art and create a good GPK for once in this past decade.

Are we certain Bunk made this one? Is the artist checklist out yet? I think overall it's ok except for the mouth and a little rough on some details. It at least is a little edgier than others. It looks more CPK than many BNS1/ANS characters. And it is not just a copy/paste like the tiny Tim bns3 rehash, it is sort of an art variation with some history to it acknowledging the previous version with the band aids. I noticed Bunk tries to put some gore into his art, based on color roughs, but I am wondering if the editors get it taken out by the final art stage.

I think both the t rex and space stars ones are great concepts but yea not sure why topps has the art look like that. i know the artists are awesome so not sure why they look like that.

Could be. Some people love anything with the banner on it, regardless of quality. I'm positive you'd love them more if they were right though.

I have no idea how... That "Adam Boom" is absolutely awful. The hand work, the background, even the most replicated face of the brand is utterly pitiful imo. The what I assume to be Cinderellas' step sister make up your own name card is atrocious as well.

All good with the exception of one name...Fecal Francis. I love gross stuff but I don't know if that is quite suitable for kids. Maybe I'm being lame since I am older than 6 years old.

These are really bad. They should have been rejected and assigned to someone else. I agree!! I did a quick general ranking of all art from this set. As there are 75 cards, I put them into 5 categories (15 each) 4 of 5 pictures you posted are easily in Ugliest category! Its not easy picking what card is the ugliest. Going thru the cards I was able to figure out generally how I rank GPK. Most important to least: Looks like a CPK / GPK Art style Concept sometimes a concept is so funny, mean, gross that it might trump the art style. but generally that's what I noticed when ranking the cards. On a high note. I do have a lot of favorites.

This is turning into a Junghwa Im bashing thread.Yes she doesn't capture the cpk look well and can be a little sloppy at times but I find her style refreshing.It's just so different from what we are accustomed to.In fact I find some of the other artists work too cartoony at times.

Lol my shaped sketch, there is a reason I do not post this to the share what you pulled thread. I think it's a shading mistake, or a mistake covered up by shadow. Hey I do not fault the guy, I am no Picasso, and I am sure some of you have gotten my envelope, and sketches and laughed how bad the art was (in defense they were all probally done just ink, I like pencils better). But the least I can say is I could have gotten a base card, and no sketch at all.

Her work isn't as colorful and in essence just gives off a different vibe.Not as comical I should say.Hard to explain..I think all the artists are so talented yet unique in their own ways.

That's for sure. Even though some of us give negative feedback on some cards, doesn't mean we don't find each one of them incredibly gifted and capable. We sometimes simply leave our heads scratching at what we see produced from Topps compared to the sketches and returns we see from the artists themselves. I think that's where the comparisons come from. As of right now, each artist has a unique way of presenting their take on what a GPK looks like. It works for most, but when you have one artist that sticks out from the rest, in a good or bad way, it distracts from the uniformity of the set. Best way to describe it is, if you're going through a set of cards where every line is drawn in thick ink and then see a few between the pile drawn with pencil, it just doesn't mesh well with the eye of the beholder and makes the set feel incomplete. Then again this has been happening with GPK's since os10 when a lot of Bunk's cards lacked color in comparison to pounds pieces. This was really evident in the ANS series compared to Diaz's colorful creations.

All of my concepts were painted by Junghwa Im. I have to admit I would have been more excited if one of mine was painted by one of my favorite artists but she did a good job. I should be jazzed that I got four concepts in this series and to be honest I should have tried to paint them myself (most artists paint their own gags). I submitted two paintings for BNS3 and both were rejected. I'm not the best painter! I like these comments because they are honest but respectful.
