Sai. They/She/He. My interests switch every second Wednesday, OK.

i wish i could watch hannibal without any cultural knowledge of hannibal lecter because i want to know how long it would take someone to figure out hannibal is the chesapeake ripper exclusively through dramatic irony

I put out a vote and Sea Lantern caught the majority! I tries to go for a 'ancient sucken/underwater civilization feel to it. Something carved and detailed and I gotta say. I quite like how it turned out!

Also thanks for all the suggestions guys!

modders be like: "this here is a beauty pack for female characters!" *presents you with the most terrifying, artstyle-breaking thing in the universe*

BONUS: Because this is my first post that reached 100+ notes I will thank you all with one of the lovely images that inspired this post

i'm sorry.

I don't play Fallout so I had to look up what ED-E looks like:

kids were roleplaying with minecraft figurines and one of them had their figure go up to the other and say “i’m in love with you” and the other one replied “sword slash to the chest. and you’re on fire”

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

THANK YOU

somebody please explain

Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.

In case anyone’s curious, here’s what it looks like when you walk past it irl:

It does have a 3D effect to it! It’s pretty neat, guess it would be even more impressive to people from the 14th century.

honestly, people just looking at the skull are missing the real deal here

You can read any implied text you see in this thing, even the book, that’s how detailed it is. Look at the painting on those letters!

jesus christ you’re just showing off now, Hans!

HANS OH MY GOD

anyway, the skull apparently had some meaning about the transcendence of death, you can only see it clearly when you can’t see the world clearly and vice versa, but man, I’m all about the detail in this guy’s shit

No, I think you’re missing the real deal here

as an art historian, i think this is the best post on tumblr
