NEVJEROJATNO OTKRIĆE: Sasvim slučajno otkriven autoportret jednog od najvećih slikara svih vremena

Nikada prije viđeni autoportret čuvenog slikara otkriven je s pomoću rendgenske snimke. Jedan od najpoznatijih i najutjecajnijih umjetnika svih vremena, Vincent Van Gogh (1853.-1890.) autor je mnogih svjetski poznatih slika kao što su “Suncokreti” i “Zvjezdana noć”. No sada se broj djela pripisanih nizozemskom umjetniku povećao za jedno zahvaljujući slučajnom otkriću potpuno nove slike skrivene iza “Glave seljanke”. Do otkrića su došli stručnjaci Nacionalnih galerija Škotske kada su rendgenski snimili platno prije izlaganja slike na izložbi. Skrivena slika bila je prekrivena slojevima ljepila i kartona te se čini da je riječ o nikada viđenom autoportretu umjetnika. “Kada smo prvi put vidjeli rendgensku snimku, naravno da smo bili jako uzbuđeni. Ovo je otkriće značajno jer dodaje ono što već znamo o Van Goghovu životu”, kaže viši konzervator Lesley Stevenson. Van Gogh, koji je patio od teške depresije koja je dovela do samoubojstva u dobi od samo 37 godina, nažalost nikada nije doživio uspjeh za života, već je priznat tek nakon smrti. Danas se mnoga njegova djela procjenjuju na desetke milijuna dolara. NEWS: A previously unknown self-portrait by Van Gogh has been discovered hidden on the back of another painting. Experts at the @NatGalleriesSco made the find when the canvas was X-rayed before an exhibition.

icarus fall, Viktor Lazarev

icarus fall-original art by viktor lIn [[Greek mythology]], '''Icarus''' (the Latin spelling, conventionally adopted in English; {{lang-grc|Ἴκαρος}}, ''Íkaros'', [[Etruscan language|Etruscan]]: ''Vikare''Larissa Bonfante, Judith Swaddling, ''Etruscan Myths'', p. 43) is the son of the master craftsman [[Daedalus]]. The main story told about Icarus is his attempt to escape from [[Crete]] by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. He ignored instructions not to fly too close to the sun, and the melting wax caused him to fall into the sea where he drowned. The myth shares thematic similarities with that of [[Phaëton]]—both are usually taken as tragic examples of [[hubris]] or failed ambition—and is often depicted in art. Today, the [[Hellenic Air Force Academy]] is named after Icarus, who is seen as the mythical pioneer in Greece's attempt to conquer the skies. [[File:Draper Herbert James Mourning for Icarus.jpg|thumb|''[[The Lament for Icarus]]'' by [[Herbert James Draper|H. J. Draper]]]] Icarus's father [[Daedalus]], a talented and remarkable [[Athens|Athenian]] craftsman, built the [[Cretan Labyrinth|Labyrinth]] for [[Minos|King Minos]] of Crete near his palace at [[Knossos]] to imprison the [[Minotaur]], a half-man, half-bull monster born of his wife and the [[Cretan bull]]. Minos imprisoned Daedalus himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos' daughter, [[Ariadne]], a [[wikt:clew|clew]][[wiktionary:clew|clew]] – a ball of yarn or thread. The etymology of the word "[[wiktionary:clue|clue]]" is a direct reference to this story of the Labyrinth. (or ball of string) in order to help [[Theseus]], the enemy of Minos, to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur. Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Daedalus tried his wings first, but before taking off from the island, warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea, but to follow his path of flight. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms, and so Icarus fell into the sea in the area which today bears his name, the [[Icarian Sea]] near [[Icaria]], an island southwest of [[Samos]].{{cite book|first = Robert|last = Graves|authorlink = Robert Graves|year = 1955|title = [[The Greek Myths]]|chapter = 92 – Daedalus and Talus|isbn = 0-14-007602-6}}[[Thomas Bullfinch]] - The Age of Fable Stories of Gods and Heroes [http://www.kundaliniawakeningsystems1.com/downloads/thomas-bulfinchs-mythology-age-of-fable-vols1&2.pdf ''KundaliniAwakeningSystem.com''] & The Internet Classics Archive by Daniel C.

The head and tongue in this panel are a 3D model that I made in Nomad Sculpt and then imported into Clip Studio. Then, upon deciding that 3D modeling is hard actually, I discovered I could fake a 3D look for the rest of the body by modifying a metallic brush. I was going for "thing you see in an early 2000s video game as a kid that fucks you up forever"! or "thing from Courage the Cowardly Dog that makes you go How Was This A Kids' Show???"

🌸 you can take the girl out of the spiral, but you can't take the Spiral out of the girl 🌸

This is a WIP from the upcoming chapter of I Escaped My Genre. It's actually based on what I consider the scariest shot from one of the scariest movies I've ever seen (Smile, 2022). But this time, it's adorable because Samo is basically the opposite of the monster from that movie! The only thing she haunts people with is her sparkling personality!!! (Mostly.)

Plain-text below cut:

Image description from alt-text:

a black and white digital illustration on a blue background, showing a cartoony sequence of the character Samo from "I escaped my genre". Samo is a femme person with short curly hair, large breasts, and a Japanese school girl uniform. in these images, her neck is thin, wrinkled, and at least a foot long.

the sequence shows Samo tilting her head more and more until her entire head goes upside-down, with her hair dangling over the bottom edge of the comic's panel frame. then her head continues to move in the same circular direction until it is fully upright again, making a 360 degree loop. her neck is even longer in the last panel. her expression is one of innocent confusion.

[Posted with permission!]

[jackgoodfellow]

LOOK AT THIS FAN ART OF MY BABY THAT @adamofingolstadt made!!!!!

When I saw this, not only did I immediately notice that it exactly suits the very specific horror-comedy tone of the series, and not only did I absolutely flip out about how lovely it is - but I also had these two thoughts:

Fuck, I wish I'd thought of that!

I would never have thought of this.

And then I got really emotional about the power of shared art to show us things we love that we would never have been able to make ourselves. Humanity can be great, actually.
