Hehe hoohoo we got A Ramble out of you!! You have no idea how long we spent trying to think of a question LMAO.
One of our favorite like, examples? Of art and culture, is the horror genre! How popular horror tropes reflect common fears of the times and shit like that
YOU [PREFERED GENDERED VARIATION OF "SIR"] HAVE GREAT TASTE. Cause that is a GREAT way they interact but it also made me go REEEE HORROR ART
Cause I really heavily respect and love horror art and monsters and creature designs and honestly its a bit of a personal special interest (not meaning in an autism way but also maybe who knows) of mine and I particularly just love - and those that follow my blog enough would be shocked to hear me say this - Bloodborne's art specifically, that to the point of having an official French art book of it for inspiration and just to gawk at.
I really like how horror art can really capture a lot of dirty, grimey and disgusting / fearful things in such a way that I find is oddly beautiful at the same time? Appreciating the decay and terror in a way. Plus there is just something really nice about looking at something horrifying and grotesque (tell me you are traumatized without telling me you are traumatized)
I've been focusing a bit more on like humans and scenery skills so I havent taken a good break to go back to monster designing but some old creature designs I threw together before for the story I'm writing are below
TW for gore, body horror, spider features, bats, biblically accurate angels, eyes and I think thats it???
Spider flower and biblically accurate angel inspired ones are some of my older ones, the other two are designs I made like a year ago.
I love Charlie getting immediately defensive for Angel! Gah!! Everyone's relationship these two new eps, except for maybe Niffty (fuck she's fucked), is so freaking goood
All of you need to give Viv an apology right now it was not sexualised or romanticised in episode 4 at all. Sure there were some parts that were graphic, but it's an adult animation, and a big part of Angel's character. In my opinion, it was handled so well in Poison and the parts before and after. It showed how bad of a person Val is, and Angel's problems and abuse
Angel telling off Val is so good! So is Niffty being the unhinged queen that she is and....once again, Val being the attractive piece of shit that he is. I want him to tell me I'm worthless, while I stomp his dick into dust. Also, Val saying "Can I get another drink or else I'll fucking kill you! 🙃 I said I'll fucking kill you 😃...and I will🥰💅"
