okay actually. more about Sal.

in the last post I was talking about him as a duality figure, and while I still think that's true, I think that's true about all five of them really. That's kind of the core of the mask symbolism overall: the showing/revealing of the face, and more specifically how quickly and readily the face is revealed, is a visual proxy for the transition between the dual moral states, the human and inhuman. (Those classes are obviously insufficient to really capture the nuance necessary here—the most interesting part is that everyone is human, including those doing things we wish to classify as "inhuman" acts—but I'm using them for now as shorthand for all the messier stuff.)

As such being masked or unmasked becomes a sign (in the semiotic sense) for the active state of the character—human/inhuman, connection/rejection, compassion/violence—or even a delineator demarcating those modes. So when Garv is the first to remove his mask in #2, we read this (I read this) as a moment of discontinuity initially, the "human" face emerging only a short ways into the "inhuman" act. But it's not a discontinuity so much as it is a tell, a tell that the "human" side is perhaps closer to the "inhuman" side than we would like to believe, a tell that Garv in particular can live as his human self in the inhuman scene in a way the others cannot or will not yet.

("This shit is wasteful then," Garv says, to which Stone replies, "Fine, you can think that. This isn't about what you think." Implied: It's about what someone else thinks. Implied: It's about what Sal thinks. At least, Stone believes (wants to believe) that's what it's about.)

This goes back to being about Sal instead of about Garv because of the way that Sal is the exact inverse, the one keeping his mask on after all the others have long since abandoned theirs—though perhaps abandoned isn't the right word, as none of the others showed up masked in #4, maybe forsaken is more accurate—and he keeps his mask on all the way through #4. The obvious consequence of this is that Sal is preserving the distinction between his two sides far more than the others are. To what end?

More to come on masks and the relationship between Sal and Stone, probably.

Woohoo first Tumblr post and it's going to be all about Garv Chaturvedi (Garv belongs to @barbatusart <3)

alright disagree with me if you want but Garv is such an absolute cutie, he deserved so much fucking better and I will fight for the baby, he has done absolutely nothing wrong and he's so perfect, he was the best character on the whole story and I will forever be salty about bog, garv is INNOCENT YOUR HONOR! You could name all of his crimes and I mean all of them and I would still say he's innocent, you could tell me about how he's a misogynistic prick and I would still love that bitch, I have made so many edits and I gush about that fucking twig so much my friends are sick and tired of me, at this point if I send even a single blurred image they say "Silas this better not be garv" what do they think of me? Yes it's garv he is my husband (not actually) and I love him, I will only ever talk about him and this obsession is getting bad, no matter how much my friends try nothing turns me away from that fucking freak, he is an innocent man, he did not deserve what happened to him he is a precious baby and I will forever protect his scrawny ass, there are so many things I want to do to that man that I can't disclose and it's an issue, I will kiss his adorable face and squeeze him till he pops, I can excuse all the fucked up shit he's done because he's perfect in every shape and form, I would be that bitches sugar mommy, I will run my bank account dry for him and nobody can stop me, no matter how much I'm told to reconsider liking this man I will not, I will never reconsider or regret my choices, he's wormed his way into my heart and now I can't stop gushing about him, I will forever adore this man (I mean just look at him) and this rant is becoming way too long so in short he's adorable, perfect, sexy and amazing, thank you for coming to my ted talk (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

a few more funny one / yuusuke murata moments between my preliminaries & @meanbossart's stunning finals from our SAD SACK series (2019-2020). i think the best part of working together, for me anyway, was getting to learn firsthand about stronger composition and anatomy, & getting to firsthand witness RJ's anatomical prowess and gorgeous blackout shading as it all came together. i learned shitloads from him especially the longer we worked on this - im very comfortable being a sketch-only artist ie an artist with a skill ceiling, but it was So much fun to challenge myself to improve laterally (if that makes sense lol) based on the example of the brilliant teacher afforded to me through collaboration like this

also these are all funny but that first set is the most outrageous glowup of all LMAO i was drawing that character as a thumb with teeth and a wig on for Ages

been drawing Sal from @sadsackcomic because that comic has utterly consumed me. I haven't read Sortie yet so this is based solely on Sad Sack alone

been thinking about Sal as a representation of the duality of the mission of the group overall—on one hand, a sense of righteous retribution, justice, healing; on the other hand, incredible violence increasingly for its own sake—and as a Levinasian duality, the Face and the Other condensed into a single man, a denial of both self- and other-ness (relations denied, that is, to himself as much as those around him)

#sad sack #not bg3 #maybe a wip? maybe not. maybe this is as finished as it's gonna get
