PORTRAIT ART COMMISSION: http://www.fiverr.com/s/VYb9BZd

[tomiokathedepresso]

Portrait Art Commission!

Hello, I've come to your timeline to announce that your boy has a Fiverr account!

http://www.fiverr.com/s/VYb9BZd

I've been thinking of doing art commission again for quite some time now. I always end up shelving the idea over and over again, because I wasn't confident with how my art style changes every single time I draw.

Now, why did I decide to open 'em up? And in Fiverr of all places?

At the moment, I'm studying in college. I took another course, which led me to start over with a clean slate. My previous course wasn't for me, and I have a feeling that my parental figures won't be able to support my education sooner than later because of the cost of living here in my country.

Even though I had freelancing experience beforehand, I want to grow my audience in order to make this profitable. I don't know if Fiverr works that way, but if it wasn't the case, I'll try other website/take yall's suggestions.

ONTO THE ARTWORKS/WIPS!

Some of these artworks are old, so please excuse the brighton biter fanart I made.

As I said before, my artstyle changes quite a lot. Sometimes it's semi-realistic, sometimes it's just straight up another artstyle that ISN'T semi-realistic. But, I'll make sure to follow instructions, and do revisions when needed.

Even though you'll see the pricing on the page, I'll put the pricing here too:

All of the FAQs is posted in my Gig, but if you have further questions, you may contact me here. You can also message me on Fiverr as well.

If you decided to avail my services, It'll mean a lot! If not, that's totally okay! I'm just posting this here because I wanted my target audience to be you guys as well *cough, cough* aot *cough, cough*.

Again, thank you! I hope that I can be of service <3

URBAN!!

i have an inquiry (and i need your opinion about this).

I don't know if you heard of this song called 'Soldier, Poet, King (or that one tiktok trend last year that uses this song). If you do know what that song is, then you probably know what I'm talking about.

A lot of people think that:

'Soldier' is Levi,

'Poet' is Hange, and;

'King' is Erwin.

See, I have no problem with it. However, it's 12:30AM in my place and it's time for my midnight thoughts to seep in.

Personally, I wholeheartedly agree that Levi is a soldier in this dynamic if it's with Hange, Levi, and Erwin. We all collectively agree to that. However, I'm having mixed thoughts about Erwin's and Hange's alignment. I, kind of, agree that Erwin would be the King because of his role as the Commander, while Hange is generally a creative person, therefore fits the Poet surface narrative. However, I think that Erwin fits better as the Poet, while Hange fits as the King.

If you think about it, it genuinely fits their narrative and growth as an individual character throughout the series. Erwin would be a poet, he's great with words. He's so great that he—y'know, convinced the soldiers to let him lead them to their deathbeds. Then there's Hange's narrative that perfectly depicts the angst aspect of being a King, especially their narrative during S4.

Anyways, what do you think? 👀

______________

Bonus (and possible hot take): in the Soldier, Poet, King dynamic;

Miche is the Soldier,

Levi is the Poet, and;

Erwin is the King.

Hey gem! Good to hear from you!

Absolutely I've heard that song and I really love how well it fits the vibe of AoT! Here's my take:

(discussion of christianity and Christ imagery below the cut)

If I had to assign just the words "soldier", "poet", and "king", I would give them to Levi, Hange, and Erwin respectively. If we went deeper and explored the song's descriptions of the titles (plus the meaning of the song itself), I would swap Hange and Erwin.

I can't deny that Levi is the Soldier. He's more than his strength of course, but he doesn't utilize words or leadership as prominently as the other characters here do. He can speak, and he can lead, but his strength has (for better or worse) always been his main feature.

I think the struggle with the second two characters is (in my opinion) how well Erwin can fit both and how Hange struggles to fit into either. When thinking of the line "He will slay you with His tongue", it's easily Erwin that comes to mind. He leads, too, but when it comes to using words, Erwin stands out more than Hange. Erwin's the Poet.

When looking at Hange as the King, I think there's more to consider than just leadership. The King in the song is a parallel to Christ*, and Christ is often depicted as a humble ruler that lives amongst his followers. I think of the campfire episode, Hange making and serving stew, eating alongside their men in a Last Supper sort of feeling.

The best connection is the line, "Whose brow is laid in thorn" representing the crown of thorns on Christ's head during his crucifixion. I view the crucifixion as a synonym for a self-sacrifice, especially from a leader to their followers, and thus I'd connect Hange's sacrificial death to the crucifixion (I think it's a stronger parallel than Erwin's death, too).

I think a lot of people consider pre-S4 personalities when comparing characters for this song, but Hange works well when we see what they accomplish as Commander. It's easier and sometimes more exciting to remember them as the creative scientist rather than the determined Scout Regiment Commander, but their actions in s4 and their last few efforts were valiant and worthy of a lot of examination.

*All three characters in the song are a parallel to Christ, but it bears the most relevance when discussing the King specifically.

Anyways, sorry to get all religion-y about it but that's how I interpret the lyrics. Thank you for the ask, gem! I hope you get/got some sleep and that your days are going well. Much love <3
