Jean-Paul Sinibaldi, Claudius proclaimed emperor, 1886. Probably my favourite painting of the scene. I mean his face is the perfect mixture of total terror and total surprise.

Quite understandably the English localization of various Wild Arms games have struggled with the monster "Buckbaird," which has been something of a staple of the series since WA2, never having been redesigned. It's typically just a normal enemy, but 4 opted to make it a relatively minor optional boss.

Apart from the name though, it's weird that it's this humanoid thing with 4 big scythe-like tentacles(?) considering the original Backbeard looks like...

The Backbeard is a character in the classic children's horror/occult manga and anime, GeGeGe no Kitaro, by the late, great Shigeru Mizuki. In it, Backbeard is the leader of an army of enemy "western yokai" who oppose the main cast of Japanese yokai. His army is very conspicuously made up of American movie monsters like Werewolf, Dracula, "Witch", Frankenstein, Zombie, etc.... So it's always been very curious that no one can pinpoint an actual monster behind Backbeard. A common theory is that it was a corruption of "Bugbear," which tends to fit the overall m.o. of things. But due to it being a made up Japanese word, there isn't really a "correct" or official romanized spelling, although people seem to have settled on "Backbeard."

Mizuki was a kind of modern Brothers Grimm for Japanese folklore in the 60s and laid the foundations of countless other yokai and occult centric anime and manga in the decades following. As a monumental force in pop culture his work has been consistently referenced over the years, not the least of which being the recurring appearance of Backbeard in other media.

The visual design itself however can be traced back to a piece of photo collage art, by Masatoshi Naito, called Shinjuku Genkei CHIMERA[新宿幻景・キメラ]: "Shinjuku Phantom Chimera" which was made around the same time as Backbeard's first appearance in the manga. Both Backbeard and Naito's Chimera itself are quite similar to French artist, Odilon Redon's 1878 charcoal sketch, "Œil-ballon," and/or his 1882 painitng, "L'Œil, comme un ballon bizarre se dirige vers l'infini."

Original digital paint file now available for les collectors que vous êtes :} Link in bio | Lien dans la bio ► "Trade"

Comme toujours, vous pouvez appréhender tout ou partie de ma production, en conditions d'atelier, en galeries, musées même, sur Internet & les réseaux sociaux. Pour les personnes désireuses d'acquérir une œuvre dont la portée les aurait touchées, sachez qu'une portion de mes digitaux est dispo sous la forme de reprographies signées, numérotées & tirées à 13 exemplaires, une autre en téléchargement HD {PNG 300dpi, limité à 69 download} & la plénitude des fichiers originaux, aux formats PSD, cryptés sont à vendre sur Rari & Nifty. Il s'agit là de mes œuvres peintes, dans leurs documents initiaux édités une seule fois, avec calques & étapes de réalisation.

De fait, j'imagine que pour éviter quelconque impact néfaste que pourraient notamment élucubrer les NFTs sur le long terme, car la question me semble prégnante, il en va de l'intelligence éthique de tout artiste qui souhaite pérenniser un marché de qualité en cessant de vendre intempestivement divers jpegs & autres documents dont la préciosité ne saurait exister sans ce certificat numérique. Un fichier original, attestant d'une démarche démiurgique et diffusé de façon très limité, reléguerait les tokens non fugibles à une simple innovation qui se verrait être rapidement embellie. Il en demeurerait l'essentiel, cette lumière crue enfin projetée sur ce qui relève d'une avant-garde solide dans la production artistique actuelle.

As always, you can understand all or part of my art production, in my studio, in galleries, museums even, on the Internet & social networks. For those who wish to acquire a art work whose scope would have affected them, know that a portion of my digital works is available in the form of signed, numbered and drawn 13 copies, another in HD download {PNG 300dpi, limited to 69 download} & fullness of original files, in PSD formats, encrypted are for sale on Rari & Nifty. These are my painted works, in their initial documents published only once, with layers & stages of realization. In fact, I guess that in order to avoid any negative impact that NFTs could have on the long term, because the issue seems to me preoccupying, it's the ethical intelligence of any artist who wishes to perpetuate a quality market by ceasing to sell untimely various jpegs & other documents whose preciousness could not exist without this digital certificate. An original file, attesting to a demiurgical approach and distributed in a very limited way, would relegate the non fugible tokens to a simple innovation that would quickly be embellished. It would remain the essential, this raw light finally projected on what is a solid avant-garde in current artistic production.

Black Light Lounge - Uptown

Lot Traits: Part Place, Romantic Atmosphere

Origin ID: blackrosespl

I present to you the Black Light Lounge, in place of the stargazer lounge from the uptown. Althoguh the layout is a bit odd (since I was trying to work with the shape of the building) I am very pleased with the overall easthetic. I was kinda inspired by one of the booths from my karaoke club, not to mention when i was looking up reference images for night clubs and such a lot of them had this type of modern look with blue/pink/purple lighting, so I tried to go all out and even downloaded some custom painitngs to fit the vibe (don’t worry the game doesnt register them as CC). I only have 2 more lots to do (karaoke bar in fashion district and the park) and then i will be done with the save file. After I finish building I will have to actually put all the households in, set the skills/relationships, so that will take me anothet couple days. BUt once that’s done I will make a masterpost of sorts for the first vberions of the save file - san myshuno edition.

Tmblrvision 2019 aesthetics

the vibes and associations i get while listening to the songs. based mainly on melody.

GREECE: the popular-girls-at-high-school (or maybe college) stereotype - pillow fights, road trips, gossip, passing notes in the classroom, cheerleading 

ALGERIA: lonely, sleepless nights after just getting dumped. lethargy. deep forests and wide streched landscapes without end

POLAND: jogging through a suburbia in rain. gray daily commute. overcast weather. the feeling that there must be something better than this

JAPAN: the first real love, kids playing in a meadow, waterfalls and butterflies, shy gestures and looks, the first misunderstanding and fight, but also the first reconcilation 

THE NETHERLANDS: a frustrated and restless author, he has writer’s block that never really lets go, he’s never content with his work. wrinkled paper, broken pencil ends, colliding with others on walks

SLOVAKIA: modern ballet, faint light, a couple, a farewell you don’t want to say

ISRAEL: party and ceremonies in a village where the older women are in charge; they do the cooking, leading the dances, and make sure everyone is involved and having fun

ICELAND: army boots, lighters and torches, pills, disassociation

ARMENIA: racing dogs, or maybe a tiger tamer, a queen on her throne dressed in a fur cloak 

FRANCE: bisexuality; the flags and those colours. smoke. dance on a float at pride, but not entirely euphoric. bubblegum, soap bubbles, cartwheels and other acrobatics

CZECHIA: a hall of mirrors or glass labyrinth where you can’t find your way out. constant shift between lights on and off, constant feel of being hunted; stress

ROMANIA: oriental palaces, a secret love affair with the sultan in order to get his money, terracotta, blood red and mosaic blue

PORTUGAL: a buzzing shopping street in strong sunlight, attractive people at cafés and restaurants, sunglasses, stores too expenisve for you to visit, still everything feels exciting

MONACO: the most popular guy and girl from high school are now adults, have become famous, they’ve released a summer hit that evryone loves besides you. you just don’t get it 

BELARUS: to be one with the elements, feeling the wind tug your hair, the earth tremble beneith your feet, hearing the oceans roar

LITHUANIA: a date at the bottom of an empty outdoor swimming pool, watching the stars, smoking weed, torn jeans and flannel shirts

HUNGARY: green grass. small lakes. cloudy, rain in the air. scent of wood. riding in a pick-up truck. visitng places that carry happy memories for you, but now you’ve broken up with the person you created those memories with

ALBANIA: teenagers discovering a city; on a playground, between concrete walls, on rooftops. sparkling chemistry

UKRAINE: a car ride through a big city at night, the car is expensive and drives fast and you have no idea where you’re going, you’re both afraid and a little turned on at the same time. neon lights. drugs are offered

CROATIA: a scene from a musical set at a café or maybe a diner, a waitress is the main character but all the visitors and staff are dancing, they even get out in the street. cappuccino colours, big flowers. 

ITALY: a carnival, but everything is a little off/cursed. you get hypnotized by the wheels of fortune, the clowns don’t look too friendly, one tent is having a burlesque show, the rides are creeking and jangling

AUSTRALIA: a festival in summer. hot sun. mingling, dancing drunk at the back of the audience, beer, loose tank tops, denim shorts

ESTONIA: a ship. the crew running around getting everything in ready and in order. riding on the waves. can also be a family packing for a road trip

SWITZERLAND: walking along a beach in sunset. lots of people, vendors along the way. wind in your hair. someone is doing a performance. orange, pink, purple. 

LUXEMBOURG: a small restaurant with a dancefloor. tension between a couple, they’re eating in silence, dance together, something doesn’t feel right but they can’t tell what it is

MOLDOVA: nature romance, but sorrowful. riding thourgh a forest, drinking from the small brooks, dacning in an wood anemone valley pretending everyhing’s alright while pushing away your anxiety

SPAIN: growing up; looking at oneself for too long in the mirror and not be content with oneself, get the impulse to smash it with a punch, shave one’s head, tear down all posters and throw out all toys

BULGARIA: being on the way to the most important boxing game of one’s life, alternatively to commit murder. blood splashing on the walls like a pollock painitng. the audience cheering you on in slow motion

EGYPT: a smokey club 90 years ago, red glittery dresses and white suits, live music, something more in your drink besides alcohol

AUSTRIA: being home alone, talking to oneself and dacning like no one is watching, watching the sunset through the window, autumn leaves falling

RUSSIA: glistening snow and northern lights, a car ride over scandinavian mountains, fjords and forest in the middle of winter

LATVIA: preteens on tiktok, boys staying out too late, skateboards and scooters, afro hair 

UNITED KINGDOM: royals of the street, breakdance battles, a boombox on the shoulder, graffiti, bengals (are they called that? you know the smokey coloury things often used at football games and marches and stuff), flashmobs

SWEDEN: graduation (or just schools out for summer), a peptalk before an important event, hugs where one is lifted up and spinned around, the first swim of summer

IRELAND: love letters, having a secret crush on your best friend, sweaters and skinny jeans, baking together, flowery bed covers

DENMARK: riding in an old mustang on cliffs along the ocean, stopping to watch the sunset, laying on top of the hood watching the sky, hearing the yells from cranes, geese and seagulls

SLOVENIA: running ink, bonfires, thin papers, bathtubs filled to the brim, strobe lights

SERBIA: spices, powders in all different colours, tobacco, tulips, terracotta

LEBANON: before the last grand battle in a movie, standing on the top of a mountain watching your enemy at the horizon, horses... and no one knows that just some nights ago, you and your enemy met at a club and danced very close to each other

NORWAY: grandfather clocks, dark silver gray, white show lights

BELGIUM: an eerie dark forest, bats, running without knowing where you put your feet

GERMANY: gathering around something; running down the street knocking on every door urgning everyone to come out because something important is happening

FINLAND: riding the bus while it’s raining, following the drops racing down the window, finding joy in the small things while the rest of your life is quite miserable
