Lestat with 4 or 13?
I had a lot of fun drawing this, thank you so much for the request!! <3 (and I hope you don’t mind a bit of xviii century fashion, but I really couldn’t resist)
futurist clothes are... kinda funny?
(outfit inspired by the one by giacomo balla btw (x) (x))
when i made this drawing i deliberately changed both daniel’s and simon’s uniform, but then i forgot to write at least a comment about it. In my previous drawing i wanted to keep the concept of objectification (and yet to remove that hideous triangle), so i used a barcode, but when some days ago i decided to sketch a definite version of that uniform for future references, i ended up not liking that idea anymore.
the one here above is the final version of those sketches ... in the end i just replaced the triangle with a modified version of the cyberlife logo, plus i replaced the armband and changed the luminous parts of the shirt. I think it is aesthetically pleasing and it serves the purpose of recognizing immediately who’s wearing it as an android.
the concept might change soon, but for now i’m pretty satisfied with the current result
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT, you have warmed my heart 💌 may you spend a lovely day whether you celebrate christmas or not!! ⭐️
if you want to send me a message 👉🏼👈🏼
@something-indecent-and-dramatic okay I see now that I responded very quickly so I will elaborate a bit more here even in case someone else has the same doubt!
The drawing is inspired by the moment in the fourth episode of the Bacchae in which Pentheus enters the stage dressed as a woman and the first thing he says is:
(i’m using a translation of T. A. Buckley that I found on the internet here)
about this I want to clarify that the Dionysus=bull one is not an isolated association that only Pentheus makes in a moment of hallucination, but that it is an image that keeps recurring in the whole tragedy (ex. when the bacchae refer to dionysus as to the “bull-horned god” or when Pentheus wants to imprison Dionysus but finds himself trying to imprison a bull) and in general also in some invocations linked to the dionysian cult outside the context of Euripides’ play
overall in the drawing i wanted to depict Dionysus in a moment in which he reveals himself to Pentheus who has finally accepted his divinity, and in this sense in my mind the bull conveys Dionysus’ powers (or at least his powers as we see them at the end of this tragedy) in a better way than a human form does.
i hope this answer has cleared up my choices a bit!! also thank you for the question <3
Pentheus and Dionysus, again 🐍🐂
