[30th drawing of character - type 1:] character is shrouded in beautiful elaboarate fabrics. soulmn expressionin. a regal pose. on display
the artist understands them as beautiful trapped and tortured
bound by the signifigance of the role the play
quite literally weighed down by the glitz and glamor of fineries
the artist includes a birdcage in the background for those who may need a lil extra whack over the head of symbolism
they are poetic- beautiful and tragic
envoking images of the reluctant bride painting or similar
bonus points for hints of underlying rage. the fury of something caged and made a spectical of.
[30th drawing of character - type 2:] charater is bound and facing horrors in the pits of hell or etc. forever tortured.
the artist understands them as tragic and damned (and beautiful for it)
perhaps some religious sumbolism thrown in there for funzies
a creature forsaken and betrayed
envoking images of classic greek tales of suffering (prometheus sisyphus tantalus etc)
their story will always lead them here. again and again. though they never know it
they are poetic - tragic and beautiful
not so much a martyr as a warning
THEYRE THE SAME PICTURE OP
/hj /lh
it is my absolute favorite part of being a fan/in fandom tho
sinking ur teeth into ur favorite blorbos and slapping them with whatever projected poetics ur heart most desires
‘THE SOIL IS SOFT AND I SHALL DIG’ moments
(tho sometimes fandoms can go a bit overboard w it — not like individual artists i mean more like when the whole fandom rewrites
a character entirely and it like mmm yes poetry but also uh hey whered blorbo go??)
BUT for the most part this sort of thing is my favorite shit in the whole wide world
