redraw! 2019 vs 2017
“Didn’t tell you that I was going to destroy TEAM ROCKET?”
i’ve been playing pokémon crystal lately and man i missed this brat
wtnv again, this time charles and donovan! i’m still not sure about their design, but for now let’s try this one... kevin hasn’t mentioned that charles looked exactly like carlos, so i just supposed that he doesn’t?
(also yes, charles is wearing a bracelet of human teeth. kevin made it - he claims that it brings joy or something)
i wanted to draw a background of some sort and a tiny theatre scene seemed like a good idea :)
may I offer you a tiny sketch of Virgil and Dante during these trying times...
thank you so so much, you have answered my question and expanded the theme so beautifully! i had catched glipses of elements borrowed from the gospels in other episodes of the dyonisiaca, but the link between the tree-climbing and zacchaeus didn't occurr to me.
and your research sounds incredibly interesting; now i am absolutely looking forward to get to the parts with ampelus and pentheus
question not related to art (yet):
lately i have been reading the dionysiaca by nonnus and just yesterday i have reached the part in which actaeon's myth is told. nonnus makes acteaeon climb a tree in order to spy on artemis, and i wanted to ask - how popular is this element in this myth? because it is very clear that here nonnus intends to draw as many parallels between actaeon and pentheus as possible (as he should) and if i remember correctly in ovid there are no mentions of actaeon climbing a tree. does someone knows any other classical versions in which this element is present?
thank you in advance
