Art that gets posted in a public platform but gets outshined by art posted after it or ignored whether there's art posted after or not, thus leaving the artist who shared their work feeling like they're a ghost.
This can be due to the art being seen as bad/uninteresting, the artist is unknown by those in the community, the art is not in context with the fanbase (aka the artist posted art about that isn't in theme of the community they're sharing it with), the art is of something obscure that most don't know about, and many other possible reasons.

MLP fan artist: a few hours ago, I posted some art of my oc in the "My Little Pony" discord that I'm apart of, but no one said anything or even added a reaction to it.
Sanrio fan artist: That's ghost art for ya! Happens to me too sometimes. I'll post something in my discord server and then a better artist posts something way cooler afterwards, it gets all the attention while mine's ignored. Just gotta put yourself out there and keep drawing!

An inconsistency in an art style that is not considered to have a different logic, and is treated as if it has the same art style as the other parts of an artwork. Usually happens when the artist loves cute art but for some reason, they're forced to draw realistically, usually the humans (usually because the community expects someone to draw realistically instead of simple art styles, or having afraid of being ashamed just because they draw cartoony, or for art / art portfolio showcase, or a combination of these)
TAWOG logic: having different art styles and each art style works consistently in a 3D, realistic world (sometimes pre-rendered realistic world backgrounds), with their characteristics. This can also apply when a cartoon shows a strong expression that the face becomes realistic for a short time or a real photo
TAWOG logic but pseudo: the animals are cartoony and the humans are realistic, but they seem as if both are realistic and have no differences in logic. Only we the audience can see them having different art styles. An exception when the humans came from games/cartoons/etc where they're not realistically drawn and they're put in artwork with this kind of art style, collab/fanart human characters are seen as if they're drawn in the artwork, both seen by themselves in that world and by the audience
Without TAWOG logic: all characters see each other as realistic or as if they're drawn, regardless of their art style unless they are made aware of their art style

I write this definition because for some reason, I'm annoyed by pseudo-TAWOG art styles. Nobody understood what I mean when I wrote my opinion on r/unpopularopinion. This is subjective, especially about art preferences, since beauty standards are different for each person
Usually, pseudo-TAWOG art styles have non-chibi anime-styled humans or Western-comic-styled humans. They're so many examples if you explore cute artworks but I cannot tell you which artists since I don't want them to feel offended (but I give you a clue for an example artist: the one who has a famous orange guy emoji, usually used in memes and Discord. I love this emoji but unfortunately, the artist doesn't draw cartoony humans frequently and prefers realistic humans in her drawings. Her old handle has a cartoony knight profile picture made by herself and the handle was knight-related). Use Pinterest and hashtags (Twitter and Instagram) to discover new artists and use Yandex for identifying the OP (Baidu if the artists are Mainland Chinese)

Much like art block but instead of not desiring to draw anything instead you desire only to draw cockcs

A popular digital art style defined by the use of neotenous proportions, round shapes and an apparent glossy look, thus giving it's name. It became popular due to artists such as Kooleen and Puririka, who would make tutorials of the art style.
