#204 Gallery

[surgeonofdeathcollab]

What better way to celebrate Law's birthday than a collage featuring 204 works of art done by ~190 amazing artists?

Well, this is it. It's officially October 6th, Law's birthday, and with that, the collab ends.

This is @abyss-tylwyth, I've been thinking of what I wanna say to everyone, and it just boils down to thank you. This was my first time running an event like this, and honestly it would not have gone as well as it did without everyone's support and participation. This turned out better than I'd expected it to.

I want to give a special shout out too, specifically to @/BDSomewhat (twitter) and @/confi_d_ential (twitter) for helping me set things up and making sure it started off smoothly. And of course, this collab would've never happened without the fine folks running the One Piece Collab. Without them, I wouldn't have thought of the idea to do this (well, Buddy thought of it, and I just ran with it).

204 different outfits. 204 different pictures of Law drawn by ~190 different artists. How incredible is that? I seriously can't thank you all enough for this.

I had a lot of fun, and I hope you all did too.

I'd better stop myself before I keep going because I could sing your praises till I'm blue in the face. So once more, from the bottom of my heart

Thank you all, so very much

Please make sure you visit both the google drive gallery, and the main collab document so you can see the individual pieces up close and see the artist's handles!

Do you have a website you'd recommend for portfolios?

Oddly enough: carrd.co

The second-tier plan has all you need — gallery, forms, custom domain support, analytics — and the site-builder is simple

It would cost me around $30 per year to host eriart.net with Carrd, compared to the $50 I pay annually hosting via Wordpress, the $147 Weebly wanted me to pay after eliminating standard plans, and the $204 the complete freaks at Wix are charging people

I'll probably switch over to it before my renewal period

Redesigned my Titanfall character because I was tired of people using him for their own character gallery. So now I can use him outside of the Titanfall universe too

This is 204, a wraith stuck between being corporeal and incorporeal. He wears this exosuit as a type of life support.

He's a very grumpy boy who don't particularly like people.

Round 1 - Set 27

Left: Conveying the Child's Coffin (A Child's Funeral) 1879 by Albert Edelfelt

Description: Painting: It's a bright, beautiful day on a serene lake. On the foreground, taking up most of the painting, is a rowboat, carrying a family in funeral clothes, as well as a small coffin. There are adults, men, women, and next to the coffin, a lone child, gazing sadly into the water. The sunlight does not reach their faces.

Propaganda: It's a bright, beautiful day. And yet.

Propaganda 2: I think it is interesting how this art parallels in composition the painting "Going to the Christening" from 1880 by the same artist - life and death, two sides of one coin.

Conveying the Child's Coffin (A Child's Funeral) 1879 by Albert Edelfelt. Oil on canvas. The art is 120 × 204 cm. Currently at the Finnish National Gallery (link to the artwork in the online gallery here). The art was photographed by Hannu Pakarinen.

Right: Going to the Christening 1880 by Albert Edelfelt

Propaganda: painting of a bright sunny day on a lake. On the foreground, taking up most of the painting, is a rowboat, carrying a family, 3 adult women, 2 adult men, a baby held by one of the women and a child. The child holds a bouquet of flowers and gazes into the water.

Propaganda: On its own Conveying the Child's Coffin packs more of a punch but I get dizzy thinking about how this paralleling piece of art was made After the funeral one.

Going to the Christening 1808 by Albert Edelfelt. Oil on canvas. The art is 73 x 100 cm. Accessed through Wikipedia Commons (link to the site here).

Rooster smiled as he scrolled down the pictures in his phone, chewing what was left of the mint-flavored gum as he waited for Maverick to show up. He couldn't help but look at the several pictures he had taken of Beatrice whenever she wasn't looking. It was his own little treasure trove of candid moments.

There were pictures of Bea in the kitchen, her brow furrowed in concentration as she cooked up one of her delicious meals. He had a series of photos of her gardening, her hands covered in dirt as she lovingly tended to her plants. There was even a picture of her sleeping, her face relaxed in slumber, her hair splayed out on the pillow.

Each image held a special place in his heart, a testament to the love and happiness they had found together. Rooster couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the life they had built.

Just as he was about to close the gallery and put his phone away, Maverick's text came in, letting him know he was on his way. Rooster quickly sent a reply, telling him to take his time, and then pocketed his phone.

He glanced around the base’s cafeteria, on the same table they often shared with his eyes looking around for his uncle. He then did a double take when he saw another pilot, one he hadn’t met before, approaching his seat.

Rooster couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise as the unfamiliar pilot approached his table. He had been expecting Maverick, not a stranger. Nevertheless, he put on a friendly smile as the pilot drew closer.

"Hey there," Rooster greeted, extending a hand. "I don't think we've met before. I'm Rooster."

The pilot grinned and shook Rooster's hand firmly. "I know who you are," he replied, "I'm Lieutenant Halton, but most people call me Hal. I've heard a lot about you, Lieutenant Bradshaw."

Rooster couldn't help but feel a bit flattered by the pilot's enthusiasm. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Hal. I… have to admit, I wasn't expecting any company other than my uncle today."

Jack took a seat across from Rooster, looking eager to chat. "Yeah, about that," he began, leaning in a bit closer, "I heard you and your uncle are pretty close. Mind if I ask you a few questions?"

Rooster’s smile dropped for a second, only to let out a confused laugh, “May I ask why?”

“Well,” the other man stands with his hands behind his back, “I was just transferred to this base.”

Rooster raised an eyebrow at the mention of a recent transfer. "I see," he replied, trying to keep his tone neutral. He wasn't quite sure where this conversation was headed, but he was curious to see where Lieutenant Halton was going with it. "Transfers happen all the time in the military. What's on your mind?"

Halton leaned in a bit closer, his expression earnest. "Well, I've heard that your uncle, Maverick, is one of the best pilots in the business," he said. "And I'm always looking to learn from the best. I was wondering if you could put in a good word for me, maybe introduce me to him."

Rooster studied Halton for a moment, his instincts on high alert. It wasn't uncommon for pilots to want to learn from experienced aces like Maverick, but something about this situation didn't sit right with him. Maverick was a legend, and Rooster was protective of his uncle's time and reputation.

Plus, Mav only chose the ones he met firsthand. And those he knew about.

"I appreciate your enthusiasm, Hal," Rooster began carefully, "but my uncle's schedule can be pretty busy. And he also has responsibilities outside of flying. I'm not sure if he has the time to take on a protege right now." or ever.

Halton's face fell slightly, but he quickly masked his disappointment with a smile. "I understand," he said, nodding. "But if you could just put in a word for me, let him know that I'm eager to learn and willing to work hard, I'd really appreciate it."

Rooster couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic toward the other pilot. He remembered what it was like to be new to the Navy, "I'll mention it to him," he promised. "But I can't make any guarantees. Just keep doing your best, and who knows, maybe your paths will cross naturally."

Halton brightened up at the prospect of even a small chance. "Thank you, Rooster," he said sincerely. "I really appreciate it. And if there's anything I can do to repay the favor, just let me know."

Rooster waved off the offer with a smile. "No need for that," he replied. "We're all part of the same team here. Just focus on your training and your duties, and you'll do just fine." Halton salutes him and then walks away leaving Rooster slowly chewing his gum with his arms crossed on the table.

His eyes narrowed as he thought about this encounter, then he hummed, looking around a bit, “Only a few people would know of newcomers at the base,” his eyes flicked to the left, “And I know exactly who it is.”

The Duckies, aka Rooster’s fanboys, were seated not too far from him. Faraday,McAllister and Thompson often sat either close by or within view of him, they didn’t even noticed most of the time and Rooster didn’t think

Rooster couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. He had a hunch that Halton's sudden interest in meeting his uncle Maverick wasn't as innocent as it seemed. The fact that Halton knew he was Maverick's nephew raised some red flags. Maverick was a highly respected and sought-after pilot, and he wasn't one to take on proteges lightly. 

Or at all.

He was so deep in thought he hadn’t heard Maverick himself walking up to him, jumping when his uncle playfully punched his shoulder, “Sorry I’m late, paperwork.”

Rooster turned to his uncle Maverick, a wry smile on his face. "Paperwork, huh?" he teased. "You're becoming more and more like a desk jockey every day, aren't you?"

Maverick chuckled, taking a seat in front of Rooster, groaning in reply. "Don't remind me," he replied. "But hey, at least I'm not in a hurry to retire like some people I know."

Rooster grinned. "We both know you’ll never retire if you can."

Maverick's eyes flicked to the Duckies, who were sitting not too far away, and he raised an eyebrow. "Speaking of retirement, it looks like your fan club is still going strong."

Rooster followed his uncle's gaze and couldn't help but chuckle…he had developed a soft spot for them. "Yeah, they're a persistent bunch," Rooster said with a grin, folding his hands to prop his chin on top. "But they mean well."

Maverick nodded. "It's good to have fans," he replied. "Just don't let them distract you too much from your own goals."

Rooster nodded in agreement. "I won't, Uncle. I know what's important." he pauses, “...speaking of fans." Rooster began, "I had a strange encounter with a new pilot a few minutes ago. His name's Halton, and he seemed really eager to meet you."

Maverick raised an eyebrow. "Halton, you say?"

Rooster nodded. "Yeah, he asked me if I could introduce him to you. He seemed almost...obsessed with the idea."

Maverick's expression turned thoughtful. "That is strange," he mused. "I wonder what he wants."

“...you aren’t worried?”

Maverick sighed, shrugging at him, “Should I be?”

Rooster considered his uncle's question for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't know, Mav," he replied honestly. "It just struck me as odd how persistent he was. Maybe he's just a really enthusiastic fan."

Maverick leaned back in his chair, a contemplative look in his eyes. "Maybe," he conceded. "But I'll keep an eye out for this Halton guy. It doesn't hurt to be cautious."

Rooster nodded in agreement. "That's true. Anyway, how's everything going with you, Maverick? Besides the paperwork."

Maverick let out a deep sigh, his shoulders slumping slightly. "Honestly, Rooster, it's been a bit of a rough patch lately. The higher-ups are putting more pressure on me to take on administrative roles and step away from active flight duty. They say it's time for the next generation to take the reins."

Rooster frowned, concern etching his features. "But you love flying, Mav. It's who you are."

Maverick nodded, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I know, Rooster. But sometimes, we have to make sacrifices for the greater good. The Navy needs fresh leadership, and I can't ignore that."

Rooster could sense the inner conflict within his uncle. Maverick had always been a pilot through and through, and the thought of him stepping away from the cockpit was a significant change. Almost…scary "You'll still be involved, right? It's not like you're leaving the Navy altogether?"

Maverick gave a half-smile. "I’d like them to get rid of me.I'll still be overseeing training programs and mentoring the new generation. But it won't be the same as being up there in the skies." he sighs, “...maybe I can convince them to stop being jerks and let me continue.”

“You think they will?”

His uncle pursed his lips, then arched his brows, “I have my ways to convince them. Besides, I can make something up eventually…I’m not ready to retire.”

Rooster grinned, recognizing the determined glint in Maverick's eyes. "I have no doubt you'll find a way to stay in the cockpit, Mav. After all, you're not just a great pilot; you're a master persuader too."

Maverick chuckled. "Well, let's hope my powers of persuasion are as sharp as my flying skills."

“When weren’t they?”

“I mean there were a few times.” he shrugs, ‘You know, just a few times when it happened and I was really dealt the heavy cards.

Rooster nodded, tapping his finger against the wooden table, “Yeah,I get it.” he didn’t know why the idea of Maverick retiring was so…weird and scary for him. Was it because he had just got back to talking to Mav and he wanted his uncle to see what he accomplished? Or was it just because Maverick’s presence was a reminder of his dad in some way?

Maybe he should stop thinking about it right now.

-

“I’m home.” he says, already toeing out his boots with a soft grunt escaping his throat, “Fuck that’s good,” he blinks, looking around and trying to see if Bea,Nikki and the dogs were anywhere within his sight “Babe?”

The sound of Rooster's voice reached Beatrice in the living room, where she was sitting on the floor with Nicole, engrossed in playing with colorful building blocks. The dogs, Jack and Jolene , were sprawled out lazily nearby, enjoying the indoor playtime while Eleanor was too busy growling at the birds outside in their garden.

Beatrice looked up, her face lighting up with a smile at the sound of her husband's voice. "In here, Roos!" she called out.

Rooster followed her voice, dropping his things to the floor and pulling his sunglasses up to his hairline "Hey, there," he greeted Beatrice with a tender kiss,leaning down to meet her on the couch. "Missed you."

Beatrice returned the kiss, her lips lingering against his for a moment. "Missed you too," she murmured, her eyes filled with affection, gently stroking his chin. She then turned her attention to Nicole, who was reaching out to her father with chubby little arms. "And someone's been waiting to see you too."

Rooster's face lit up as he took Nicole into his arms, cuddling her close. "Hey there, birdie," he cooed, pressing a soft kiss to her tiny forehead. Nicole let out a delighted giggle, her tiny hands reaching for his face. “I missed you too.”

"How was your day, handsome?" Beatrice asked as she watched Rooster and Nicole share a sweet moment.

Rooster sighed contentedly, his eyes never leaving his daughter's face. "Long, as usual," he replied. "But seeing both of you makes it all worth it."

Beatrice reached out and caressed Rooster's cheek with a soft, loving touch. "We missed you too," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "Everything good there,then?”

Rooster leaned in and kissed Beatrice's forehead. "Yeah, everything's running smoothly," he replied. "We're just preparing for the upcoming exercises. It's been pretty routine lately."

Beatrice nodded, her fingers still tracing soothing patterns on Rooster's cheek. "Routine is good," she said softly. "It means things are stable."

Rooster smiled,”But I did meet a random officer.” he says, adjusting Nicole on his hold, “His name was…Halton,I think, he was really interested in meeting Maverick for some reason.”

Beatrice stared at him for a few seconds, “...Halton?”

“Yeah.” Her face paled and Rooster furrowed his brows, “Bea?”

She giggled softly, then cleared her throat, “Well um…h-how would you react if I told you…that’s Miranda’s last name?”

Rooster blinked, his mind processing Beatrice's words. "Wait, you mean Miranda as in our neighbor?" he asked, his voice tinged with surprise. “That Miranda?”

Beatrice nodded, a slightly sheepish expression on her face. "Yeah, that Miranda."

“Oh…that…” he frowns, “How exactly do you know that?”

“Ah,well,maybe you should sit down?”

Trưng Sisters Summon the Bách Việt (Baak Jyut) / 徵氏姐妹感召百粤

The rebellion of the sisters Trưng Trắc and Trưng Nhị (40-43 CE) is revered in modern Vietnamese history as the first of several uprisings and resistance movements during a thousand year period known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Eras of Northern Domination (111 BCE - 938 CE). During the preceding Triệu dynasty (204-111 BCE), the many Việt tribes of the Pearl River and Red River regions were united by a former Qin military general and governor named Triệu Đà / Zhao Tuo. This multicultural independent state was known as the kingdom of Nam Việt (Nanyue) and its name is the etymological origin of both the modern Việtnamese and Yue/Yuht (Cantonese) languages and peoples. In its fifth generation, Nam Việt was conquered by the imperial expansion of the Han dynasty, renamed as Giao Châu (Jiao province), and its distinctly matrilineal and egalitarian family structures and social customs were heavily suppressed under a Confucian system of patrilineal land ownership and tax administration. In 264 CE, the province of Quảng Châu (present day Guangdong and Guangxi) was created out of the eastern half of Giao, and this division is nearly identical to the modern colonial borders between East and Southeast Asia, as Việt people gained independence from Han Chinese culture, Yuht people were assimilated and/or displaced by it.

Marcel Duchamp   (FR, 1887 - 1968)

_

Tu m’, 1918. Oil on canvas, with bottle brush, three safety pins, and one bolt, 27 1/2 x 119 5/16 in. (70 x 303 cm)

Tu m’ (now housed in Yale Art Gallery), is Marcel Duchamp's last oil on canvas. It depicts the shadows of Bicycle Wheel and Hat Rack as well as a shadow of a corkscrew (a readymade he never exhibited). Above the hand a physical tear of the canvas is sutured with safety pins and a two-foot-long black bottlebrush extending out at a 90-degree angle from the canvas. The title, Tu m’, is a French grammatical construction that critics have read as an admonition of the medium of painting, supposing it to imply tu m’ennuies or tu m’emmerdes (you annoy/bore me, or you piss me off). Duchamp chose to have the hand painted by a professional sign painter, reminding us that painting is also a trade profession.
