#He's a painter!

[kowtownart]

Something i’ve been working on for a while now, a slight redesign of Birb’s hypothetical EX form! (also he’s 5′10, forgot to put his height lol)

While not exactly ‘canon’ to him, it’s still a fun idea/design to play around with!

Plus a little bonus under the cut!  :3c

He’s got extra aaaarms!!! Great for hugging :3c

His little arms, while they may ‘malfunction’ from time to time, it doesn’t actually harm him in any way; it mostly just causes a bit of unintentional mischief.

Examples: Tangling around himself/others, ‘powering down’ at inconvenient times (making him have to drag them along the ground), or being a bit wiggly! Sometimes it seems like they have a mind of their own!

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

i’m personally choosing to believe that gerry still has the dyed hair and tattoos in this universe . he may not be as traumatized but he’s an artist who names his paintings things like “camden epiphany” and hands them out to random strangers that come by his house . that man is still a weirdo and i stand by it

Let's not pretend that Oscar Wilde isn't spinning in his grave so violently we could entirely switch to green, renewable energy at this news of Dorain and Basil being portrayed as fucking siblings in this new show

Au stuff!! Unfortunately for him, the Fish Guy is extremely recognizable (⁠─⁠.⁠─⁠|⁠| ) I imagine he has horrible social anxiety even after getting reintroduced to society, it's a work in progress

Did Machete or Vasco ever commission portraits of each other? Can only imagine future historians scrutinizing the relationship they shared.

I'd like to think they did. Or perhaps more likely they commissioned a pair of self-portraits of themselves and then traded.

Moreover, I find the idea of them owning miniature portraits of each other really charming. They were small enough to fit in your pocket so you could carry one on your person if you wanted to, and more subtle and inconspicuous than having a larger scale portrait of someone on your wall.
