Tfw you're transported to the alternate universe where everything is a metaphor for your complicated relationship with what it means to be grown up

Dressing up as a different person for Halloween sounds like something that would be a big hit in the land of change!

(I love the visual of Bonnie, Siffrin, Mirabelle, Isabeau, and Odile linking arms and singing We’re Off To See The Wizard)

halloween in vaugarde... i love the idea that halloween would be just another holiday in the long list of change holidays thats all about wearing masks and facades.

#isat #in stars and time #instead of a spooky orientated holiday its a holiday all about masks and costumes #like the change god and one of the symbols being theater masks so youre encouraged to pick a costume based on an emotion you want to embrac #a very interpretive and fun way of guessing what someones feeling that day #take this idea with wizard of oz how you will #the draws #ALSO THE MOST IMPORTANT SIFFRIN DESIGN EDIT: he has flowers and straw and foliage on his hat now :>

” Am I not right to weep? O my children, cursed children of a hateful mother - ”

#medea #my art #cw blood #cw mild nudity #euripides medea #greek tragedy #greek theatre #this play is Female Rage by excellence #hmm yes the blood of her sons on her face hands breasts and belly the parts of her body that her children knew the most yes indeed #im really proud of this #:)#lots of symbolism here #the red shawl is her hate while the black one is a mourning blanket #it's dwarfed by her heartbreak which enveloped her whole and bears no blood bc it's already red #her eyes are golden like Circe's who's her kinswoman #the handle of the dagger is Jason who isn't explicitly wounded by her but drove her hand (the blame of the murders actually befalling him)#<that's why it's not bloodied unlike the blade which was used to hurt #her tear washed down the blood on her cheek representing her being absorbed of her crime by both the gods and her grief #on the mural behind her is Medea enchanting the dragon while Jason steals the Golden Fleece #and above (right) is Hera and Iris and (left) Helios in his chariot #with female chorus masks lamenting Medea's crime like the chorus in the play #the pose and expression are inspired by the poster for Médée by Mucha for the Théâtre de la Renaissance starring Sarah Bernhardt #overall proud of this #i think women deserve to go a little mad and violent when they're angry. as a treat #anyway thanks Euripides for the 500bc feminism

winter assassin outfit

#zeno's art #ocs #reassassination #octavia krankenstein #oh i got a LOT to say about this one #in the comic octavia starts wearing this outfit after a certain event i think n its very symbolic #it represents mainly how her personality has changed as well as her relationship with kranken and humanity as a whole #lets do it top to bottom. FIRSTLY the mask that replaces her goggles that she wore in the “summer” outfit #the mask represents several things. firstly that octavia's relationship with kranken improved #i think the mask itself is probably kranken's and octavia uses it. showing that they've become closer #and ALSO even using a mask to hide her identity while working is in line with kranken's ideas of clothing being practical rather than flashy #(see her first outfit was originally really frumpy and practical before she DIY'd it into the minidress type thing)#anyway. the hoodie is supposed to harken more to an executioner showing octavia is more used to her job #the hoodie has eyelets which are circles. the fact that there are way more circles in the design shows that she becomes less cold #and more assimilated into human society #the gloves however are a sign of her persistent rebellion as they're fingerless and impractical lol #the pants are based off of tripp nyc's design. which was popular with mallgoths in the 90s/00s #it shows octavia's own personality and interests and of course has two hidden sets of 6's through the eyelets #lastly her shoes resemble skulls. that one's just for fun #while her first outfit completely represented rebellion i like to think this one bridges the gap between rebellion and octavia settling down #and becoming more familiar with those around her #this is only the first pass so i'll prob incorporate more red into the outfit before it's finalised #octavia isn't the only one who changes either! i want like ~3 changes for almost everyone

These aren't full ref sheets but I was trying to take some clear pictures of Hephaistos for later art reasons and then got side tracked doing all of the Pandaemonium bosses so here they are in order. Also for anyone following who doesn't play FFXIV and knows it as the catgirl game, enjoy this instead? VISUAL SPOILERS obviously.

Asphodelos

Warder of the Condemned: Erichthonios

Mythic Creation: The Hippokampos

Mythic Creation: The Phoinix

(+ familiars)

Hemitheos: Hesperos

(+ sexy fanfic redesign by Nemjiji)

To be brutally honest I never really liked either of these designs compared to every other Hemitheos we get, I think the really brutal black and red of the Phoinix is weakened by gold accents, but I still am always down for gay vampire surf rock. The Savage version kind of looks like Ultimalius as well if you've played XVI.

Abyssos

Mythic Creation: Proto-Carbuncle

Hrgrhhgrhrgrh

Hemitheos: Hegemone

^ My favourite detail on this is you can see the parasite's outlines in her robes and in her legs, then right through the eye holes on the mask to wrap around the torso. I'm convinced this version of Hegemone is functionally an ant being piloted by a cordyceps infection.

Hemitheos: Agdistis

She's very big

Perfect Imperfection: Hephaistos

I'm probably biased by Abyssos being the first raid I was there for day of release but these really are all fantastic. It's also when the story abandons all pretense of not being (at least partly) about family abuse and is loudly using the body horror and shackle motifs to talk about that. It's great. Hephaistos specifically is constantly bulging and twisting in and out of different forms like a highly unstable chimera and the more I look at these the more I notice parts that just should not be there. He's giving everything.

As for the Savage design It's a hard thing to rate as such but my favourite part is the veins that grow down from the eyeholes in his mask like bloody tears.

Thanks Abyssos I love you

Anabaseios

Mythic Creation: Kokytos

Dæmoniac Dungeon: Pandæmonium

It's really hard to communicate how huge this nasty tumor crab I zoomed out as far as physically possible in the game engine and subsequently ended up at a goofy angle staring up his nose.

Ephemeral Justice: Themis

Best boy. The double ended lance and second pair of arms are fantastic for this character.

Theos: Athena

In.. almost every final fantasy adventure you're fighting the real villain not at the very end but a little beforehand, the big iconic end boss is often more a metaphorical figure representing everything wrong with that first person's ideals. Athena cut out the middle man and became her own JENOVA.

I do like the moth angel, especially the hollow body full of dubious orbs, but with her eyes closed all the time it gives off the impression of this not even being the true body but some kind of anglerfish lure in the shape of a fairy... which might be true because this exists:

I really really love her twitchy anemone feelers and how the moth body ends up grafted to the rest of it waist down.

Anyway there's the gang I did not specifically intend for this to be design reviews I just wanted to have clear photos because when you actually see them in game there's other things to focus on. In hindsight I can appreciate more the theming of each tier and then the series as a whole, but my only (extremely obvious) observation for now is that every character Athena had a personal hold over is decorated in chains somehow and so I should have seen the Hegemone thing coming lmao. Heph and Aggy are still my favourites I don't think that's changing any time soon. I'm also noticing that Anabaseios is now just old enough for random DF parties to fuck up severely and I find that fun so I'm going to go fight the crab mansion now.

#ffxiv #endwalker spoilers #pandaemonium #ff14 #let him speak #dante plays catboy simulator #Erich's transformation is unlike everyone else here he can just do that normally #none of the body horror is present that's just what he looks like when he's not a little guy in a robe #but I do find it really fascinating that you get with these Ancient characters a second symbolic body #and his is completely wrapped up in chains there's a hole in his heart #and the little plinth on his head where his dad's mask sits #Heph's designs are all very unnatural though and I think the reason I love it so much is just how much all of it screams pain and misery #Not an outwardly depressive character but just look at this dude #fun in comparison to athena who has made herself into a glowing white angel with three different halos and one has a crown #it's such an egotistical design lmao

Oh? Looks like Ogerpon wants to give you a flower! Will you accept?

>Yes

>No (you'd better not click this)

#ogerpon my beloved #ogerpon #the teal mask #pokemon dlc #pokemon dlc spoilers #pokemon sv #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon sv dlc #kitakami #teal mask #apparently she's a girl?!?!#though it kinda saddens me about her being scared towards Kieran (maybe she read his uh obsession?). Though we did spent more time with her #Maybe we reminded her of her old partner #I also like how she’s choosing to be kind and happy and not bitter #she still visits the festival.#pokemon fanart #Also btw sunflower symbolize friendship #And a YouTube comment said that Ogerpon likes us because we are strangers to this land so we clicked which makes sense #my art

So you’re telling me that Mu Qing got to play the demon in the Shangyuan Festival which made him a “gentile scholar” behind a terrifying demon mask, and that simultaneously he’s a person who constantly gets demonized for actions or intentions that in reality are usually completely innocent? Okay. I’m eating it up, I won’t lie. In fact, it’s delicious. Can I have seconds?

#tian guan ci fu #tgcf #heaven official's blessing #mu qing #big fan of symbolism like a high school English teacher #this is so basic but what if I liked him so much #and you KNOW Xie Lian begged to give him that other most important role in the biggest most important event ever #in which the demon mask symbolizes how he is perceived #and his true face is innocent and smart and genuinely non-malicious

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MICHAEL AFTON DRAGGING HIS FATHER TO HELL TO TORTURE HIM FOR ETERNITY 🎉🎉🎉🎉HERE'S A BUNCH OF VENGEFUL SPIRIT MICHAEL ART IN CELEBRATION + WILLY BOY GENERALLY GETTING TORTURED

[Commissions for Palestine are open! Check my pinned for details!]

#cassie draws #five nights at freddy's #ultimate custom night #vengeful spirit michael #the way i personally conceptualize mike's vengeful spirit appearance is like #he is frozen in his 14 year old state #he is frozen as the kid he was when he shoved cassidy's head into fredbear's mouth #in the same outfit with the same mask. the mask's teeth stained red with his blood.#he still fucking hates himself for what he did to his brother #still sees himself as a monster #the kid he was died with cassidy #and now in hell with his father he still looks like that fourteen year old #sighs. kicks legs. i love symbolism #fnaf #william afton #michael afton #in the it's-us-both image william's true self is sorta reflected #his true self is the yellow rabbit. the monster. the man who murdered the five children.#he's been ripped out of that form as part of his punishment. he does not get that power.#he is no longer the hunter but instead the hunted by all the children he killed AND BY SPRINGTRAP #while michael stands there. his body too is rotting away. and he doesn't have a suit to hold him together. only bandages and anger.#and yet he is the powerful one. he is the one to trap his father in hell for all eternity.#idk i love symbolism #also it's their states when they were dead-undead vs their spirit forms. somethnig something symmetry or something #the one you should not have killed #vengeful spirit #blood #fnaf firelight
