sonilver week - gardening

#sonilver #sonic the hedgehog #silver the hedgehog #my art #sonilver week #gonna add a brief explanation in the tags - the flowers representing the characters were chosen deliberately #silver's flower is an anemone which represents sincerity according to the hanakotoba and i got this idea from my friend!#i decided the flower representing sonic should be a hepatica - which symbolizes confidence #and it belongs to the anemone family which is even better #also sonic isn't wearing different boots - those are just his shoes unfolded 🤭#according to ohshima it's actually intended for sonic's shoes to be folded boots!

*You tell a joke about two kids who played in a muddy flower garden.

*You tell a joke about a kid who slept in the soil.

#my art #art #digital art #artists on tumblr #undertale #ut #psst its transparent #chara undertale #asriel undertale #chara #asriel #chara dreemurr #asriel dreemurr #utdr #undertale fanart #utdr fanart #fanart #okay some fun little explanations #asriel's arms and legs are restricted because as a flower he cant use them at all. his body is not his own/his to use #which is also why the biggest flower is covering his face. ofc thats flowey i dont have to explain that part probably LOLOL #also it makes his body look more like a stem lol #he also is still holding onto chara with everything he has. the vines as well tie them together.#if u look close its actually an incomplete infinity symbol teehee #theres something to be said about how chara is the one sleeping in the soil and how flowers grow from soil/how asriel idolizes chara and #tries to adopt their mindset (which comes from abuse) and in floweys case it's exacerbated by like. the whole soullessness +#no consequences thing #but i cant articulate that so. if someone else figures it out go ahead HELP . anyways #those blue flowers r forget me nots in case its not clear

Yusuke Kitagawa Discovers Chiikawa

#yusuke kitagawa #The explanation is that he'd enjoy the simplicity of the design. Stroke economy. Good emotion from few line #After all to be able to convey something accurately in fewer strokes is a better symbol of mastery than doing it in many #< taken from my twitter #persona 5 royal #yusuke persona 5 #p5r #chiikawa

Katabasis of Faulkner Unknown Faulknarian disciple Grand Aquifer ruins

This was conceived as a documentation of Faulkner's legacy by an unknown disciple, containing symbolic references to his rise to power.

E.g. His left hand holds the central component of the Wither Mark, signifying how he withheld knowledge of the mark as his leverage to power.

Visually inspired by my mom's buddhist wall scroll hanging outside my bedroom

Details below the cut!

#ignitedart #the silt verses #tsv #brother faulkner #parish of tide and flesh #digital art #artists on tumblr #the symbolism goes on quite a bit actually but i worry that nobody wants the explanation so nvm

Happy [depending on your timezone belated-] 2nd birthday CCCC!!

I gotta eep now, but I might add some more thoughts tomorrow ^^

For now, thank you CCCC for being my intro to Chonny Jash, and thank you cj for all the awesome community and inspiration and joy you’ve brought me and so many other people. Your music and characters will always hold a special place in my Heart [haha] <33

#chonny jash #cj mind #cj heart #cj soul #cj whole #cj harmonia #chonny’s charming chaos compendium #cccc #what who me? hide Pink Whole propaganda in my cccc anniversary artwork?? never ……#listened to the album in its entirety in order for the first time while making it and oooohhh the Thoughts about it #it was a great experience I feel bad I didn’t do it sooner lmao #anyways yayayayy !! happy birthday cccc <3333 #there’s some fun details I added but I’ll probably just elaborate tmrw :]#appalling mustelid tornado #edit: adding some extra little details/thoughts because I’m rested now yay :D #I was careful to make sure to include 2 qualities from each of hms !#heart: blindfold and wings mind: crown and mechanical hands soul: mask and trident :)))#i guess this could count as a Whole/Harmonia design ??? I would call this Harmonia and Not Whole . very much just HMS combined into #one Being but like . not the thing that sings banana man and haiku and hidden in the sand n stuff yknow?#I originally had the colors more organized like . the hands and crown/head area were blue and the masked half of the face was red n stuff #but it didn’t look as good so it’s all just super liquified and blurred together now lol #Im actually pretty fond of how this turned out ^^#all of hms’s colors are included in the background with Soul being the spotlight Mind being the bottom gradient and Heart being the overall #background color #I would give some fancy symbolic explanation for this but I won’t lie . there isn’t any lol it’s just what I thought would work well :’))#if you can find meaning in it that’s great though !!!#I realized earlier today [day after I posted this] I forgot to add line weight to the trident which makes me kinda sad but WE BALL !!!#I would’ve added more symbolism in the patterns but I was super tired and had a headache when I did them 😭#oh and the trident !! it’s totally split up for epic symbolic reasons about the ending of the violence and the relationship between hms #and not because I fucked up the post real bad and couldn’t make it work properly with the trident intact dw about it trust chat

“I’ve been watching you for some time now. I saw the way you wielded that sword. It’s a good fit for you. Did you enjoy tearing up poor Kuma?” “Not especially.” Zoro says flatly. "Don’t act like you’re so above it all. I think that you feel excited when you see blood. You don't have to be ashamed of it.” Zoro glares at him, watching him pace back and forth. “Did you become a homicide investigator because you get a kick out of seeing shattered bone and mutilated corpses? It’s not something we in polite society discuss very often." —Ch. 10, Tiger by the Tail by Vandereer (@dandunn)

obsessed that they had their confrontation in a crumbling cathedral so i had to illustrate it (close-ups under the cut)

#one piece #roronoa zoro #dracule mihawk #modern aru #tiger by the tail #tbtt art #ok umm lazy religious symbolism explanation for ppl who managed to escape catholic/christian upbringing #mihawk is standing in front of a stained glass depicting the annunciation (the angel gabriel tells mary she has to bear jesus)#mihawk is the angel of death etc (stole this from a line in ch. 20)#yoru's hilt is blocking mary's face (she's commonly seen as symbol of mercy). make of that what you will #umm what else. red crosses on either side of mihawk is st george's cross #there r also red dragons curling up the crosses on the door which alludes to the legend of st george defeating a dragon #(you probably have to squint bc i turned the brightness down a lot)#i was referencing the interior of calvary-st.george's parish in nyc which is where daredevil season 3's church fight was shot #ok i think that's it. anyway i'm surprised that i managed to make a whole illustration. this was intense n the background killed me #but dramatic and bloody church confrontations ft stained glass is my weakness!!!#oh yeah i added the votive candles bc i remember it was such a good detail when zoro came into the church and was like #wtf there are still ppl here???#also needed an alt source of lighting. but not going to lie drawing them was scary but it turned out well #illustration #my art

very normally thinking his good thoughts

#witch hat atelier #wha #qifrey #ok so i was asked why there are two floating eyes while qifrey lost only one #and you know what #i have no explanation #and ability to think #let's pretend that this is complex symbolism #i've made it just for composition purposes

Amanda growing violets and Clarissa watching her garden, wanting to join but scared of dirtying her hands because her mother would disapprove (this is a metaphor)

#explanation:#Violets have long been a symbol of lesbian love dating back to Sappho’s poetry.#They had a bit of a resurgence in the 1920s with a play about a woman in love with another woman but engaged to a man (sound familiar?)#shoot from the hip #sfth #claranda #clamanda #sfthposting #metaphor #lesbians #THE lesbians #flower symbolism

Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Just like every night has its dawn Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

#myart #maccadam #transformers fanart #tfa lockdown #marauder lockdown #the something simple that ended more rendered than needed but here we are #actually i like it and i feel cheerful so #mission accomplished for myself at least #i talked more extensively of the possible symbolisms in my IG so #i let it be here without any further explanation for the fun #and OH the song came after my mother was listening it on the radio these past days #and it CLICKED #but i mostly just care for the chorus #not much the adultery theme

RAAAAAAHHHH GOT A REAL FUN "DRAW ALASTOR AND SURPRISE ME" COMMISSION

the picture got put on a credit card, inspired by my own silly Lucifer debit card sticker!!!

made a second version of the image just in case the "creepy Alastor doll" turned out not preferable for something as public as a credit card lol, but it clearly wasn't a problem :)

#hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #rexan's art #hazbin alastor #artists on tumblr #used radio symbols rather than the canon voodoo-based ones 'cause -- short explanation -- i'd just rather not use sacred symbols usually #and the radio symbols can look arcane and fitting enough lol
