Hip hip hurrah!!! Starting off rlly strong w a bit of an experimental piece... it's not often I try to paint smt more environmental but, hell, I had a lot of fun with it!!! I think it's partly because these two pushed my motivation further. Haven't genuinely drawn em in over a year I think, so I loved seeing this renewed version of them! Overall rlly proud with how this turned out :3 I hope the other 4 Luka and Jacob fans feel well fed after this, I dedicate this to u (and ur patience cuz I've been gone for many many months.....)
Hi all! Thank u so much for the overwhelming support, idk how or why my art reached so many people but I'm happy it did, ur all so wonderful🥹🥹
Unfortunately I probably won't reply to all the comments bc it's a lil overwhelming afterall..... but thank u so so much for the kind words, I read all of it, it means a lot that the spacehey community is so sweet and polite compared to other social medias!!!! To anyone reading this, have a wonderful day, and keep supporting spacehey artists‼️‼️🗣️
Ofc course! ^^ I am also trying to improve in my art right now and explore the different themes and styles. I am not racing for one specific one, but rather wanting to create in the different ways I like to express myself! I loove artworks and media that look floaty and dreamy. And I also like ones that are like that but you can tell there is something wrong or it's not all that it seems, but it still feels so comforting to experience it. I think it's better explained as contrasting themes. Also I saw your pinned blog post, and may I ask if we could be friends? I am a Christian myself, but I am also critical of this religion and it's flaws or (historical flaws lets say), but the overall meaning of what it represents and how I incorporate its teachings to live showing kindness and strength and stuff. So if you were talking about it in a negative way, I wouldn't fault you for that. And I also wanted to say I feel we have similar interests when it comes to incorporating religious imagery into art. I mean the art of the figures themselves are so beautiful, even when they are perceived as bad. Like for example in the famous painting of Lucifer when he has one tear going down his face, a lot of people don't realise that his wings are not just black, they almost look black with other beautiful colours on it, but it's very subtly. (iridescent is the word i was looking for, but dark version of it)
And it reflects how those kinds of colours together were perceived. I'll give another example. In the original Swan Lake, the black swan has multi-colours. And back then mutiple colours represented disorder, rebelion, not wanting to fit in line, etc. But over time the meanings of these colours changed, to black being seen as evil or demonic. Anyways I bring this up because Lucifer right now is depicted as evil and someone that tempts bad things, all because he was ambitious. Lucifer was a child who defied his father, and wanted to surpass him, but he was punished for it and cast down to earth. In reality, parents should praise their children for wanting to be better than them, to improve, to be more! But they are cast down because it's seen as the child challenging authority. And many people don't know this, but Lucifer loved God. He loved him, like how a child loves their parent, yet he was still cast away so coldly... But yeah aha sorry for the long text. you got me interested in talking about a topic I like.
I don't think I even got to the point I was trying to make LOL but i make angelic art too, but would be seen as "blasphemous" to what those symbolisms represent. Not in a disrespectful way, but as a "changing the meaning of how this thing is seen" ^^;
Ty for reading all this way if you did! ;w; and if there is anything you didn't understand and sounded bad, please let me know! sorry if there are insane amounts of grammatical errors and misspellings X(
OMG INSANELY REAL EVERYTHING U JUST SAID!!!! Ty for sparking up conversation abt something I had long forgotten about..... to answer everything in order tho;
I agree what u said about styles!!! I'm still feeling around for artstyles myself -- different color palettes, proportions, different shading and rendering styles, etc. I can never be truly satisfied if I stuck to one style my entire life, but personally I have always felt drawn to the styles with a more soft look to them! The kinds that makes u feel all sorts of cozy warm feelings.... and with what u said about the contrast too, this piece is heavily contrasting the brutal and tragic story of my ocs! I felt I was too focused on the angst of their relationship that I eventually ran out of ideas, so I thought, why not make something positive and sweet, given that they were on earth together for a million billions years (they had to have had atleast one nice moment right)? So I challenged that in this drawing, overall wanting to pain a very lovey dovey environment, again very contrast to how I usually depict them ehhehe
And as for the second portion; OF COURSE WE CAN BE FRIENDS!!! I rlly oughta change my pinned bc it's been out of date for a while now...... while I'm definitely not hyperfixated on angels and demons like I once was, with it becoming mainstream and me unintentionally losing interest because of it (idk autism is weird), I'd be lying if I said the whole interest and persona hasn't been tightly weaves into my identity and online presence, and I still to some extent like talking about the Bible and viewing it form a critical lens like u said!
Absolutely agree w everything u said in this part, I had no idea there was such a likeminded person out there..... I loved Christianity in the sense that I was rlly hyperfixated on the critical aspects of it all. To add my own thoughts for example-- I always thought the idea of "free will" was extremely flawed; is it truly free will if we just end up suffering if we favor one option for the other? It's not true free will to me if the threat of getting an infinitely worse punishment if you DO act on free will is always lingering. When reading the Bible myself, I always questioned how truly loving God was if he kept putting people through tests to prove their faith. And while I get the logic in it on the surface, I was never able to shake off the idea that an all-loving God would feel the need to torture his beloved humans just to see if they're faithful, espeically because he IS God and has the option to make them faithful or whatever, but there's also the fact he should *know* the outcome, yk? If he knows the past, future and present, it's completely unnecessary to test one's faith if he knows the outcome, it's just cruel (he does improve somewhat in the New Testament doe lmao). I also felt sorta bad for the demons n such when reading, cuz it's truly such an unfair power balance they have. If following this "free will", esp as a proper angel, turns you into a grotesque monster that makes you suddenly want to pillage and peer pressure others into committing sin and brutality, then I have a hard rime believing they're truly the ones at fault (ofc context matters, but if a demon ends up in hell for all damnation for rape vs enjoying a burger a little too much then I think that's a bit of a flawed system). Also the fact they just seem so helpless most of the time, one of them begging Jesus not to torture them, I can't lie they truly had me believing demons were misunderstood, or atleast thrown into a flawed fate.
If you're interested, I'd love to dm you my ocs story (it's rather short) that explores these themes in a way! I'm much more drawn to the canonical aspects that *are* taboo and show a certain aspect of religion many don't consider rather than just purely fixating on the "oooh what if Jesus but scary and bloody parts". I enjoy being "blasphemous" to some extent, but only in the sense that I'm just bringing up the canonical aspects, I want to stay true to the material, not run it through the mud!!! I can't say I feel the same for modern pieces made recently, but I've always loved controversial pieces involving Christianity! Not only the parts that point out the troublesome passages and teachings, but also those that highlight the believers themselves being imperfect -- obsessive, while also finding it difficult to stay entirely true to the religion. BLASPHEMOUS and MORAL OREL do both beautifully!!!!! While MORAL OREL has more of a dark humorous satire to the entire concept of Christianity and people not staying true to their faith, BLASPHEMOUS is so grotesquely beautiful, as it shows Roman Catholicism in a completley fucked up morbid light, while still staying true to the actual nature of Christianity! The main character draws direct inspiration to the hooded guys in Semana Santa, and the whole lore of of the game heavily refrences how people in the medieval era were so obsessive about purity that they would so often punish/make themselves suffer in the name of proving themselves worthy believers. UGH overall I'm such a fangirl for the dark aspects of Christianity that aren't made up for edginess, but rather just a harsh truth. ANYWAYS WOUSL LOVE TO TALK MORE ABOUT IT IF YOUD LIKE EHHEEHE don't wanna clog the comments w my ramblings afterall :3
Tips on how to..... MAKE an oc???z.... never thought I'd hear this question..... if you mean how to make an oc like write, then that's smt that comes naturally! The joy of making an oc is that you can do whatever you want to them, give them any traits you want and they don't even have to serve a super complex narrative-- I got ocs who have virtually no lore, I just dress them up and put them in situations like going to arcades :3
If you mean how to make an oc via design and what to do w them visually.... I couldnt tell u.... character design is not my passion so im just bullshitting thru it all LMAOO
Sorry if I couldn't give u a satisfying answer, again this just seems like smt that comes naturally to every oc artist ik 🙏
