This is relevant once again. I apologize if you are a real human getting blocked/reported.

[televisionenjoyer]

Tired of explaining to my college peers that yes, actually art history is essential knowledge for anyone who is ever in charge of designing concept art for pretty much anything.

[televisionenjoyer]

"but I'll work on sci fi and futuristic shit" ALL THE MORE REASON!! TO KNOW YOUR ART HISTORY!!! art history is all about how historical context and background affects the aesthetic trends of the time. Therefore they help you think of how the context of your fictional words affects the aesthetic trends within it. It's really not that hard to comprehend

[televisionenjoyer]

And since I brought forward the word futuristic ☝️🤓 futurism as an art current was a product of fascism. Which is why it's a neat inspiration if you want to stylize violent and oppressive worlds that are seemingly innocently cool to the naked eye. Rococo is also great for stories set up in worlds with economical disparity that center the aristocracy. Art Nouveau works perfect for societies that value nature and center their lifestyles around it, so on.

[televisionenjoyer]

Point is if you want to make concept art that feels fresh, innovative, and coherent to the universe you're representing you gotta at least know why other things in the past have felt fresh, innovative and coherent to their context.

[televisionenjoyer]

In the spirit of avoiding any further confusion than what I've already caused in the examples above I was referring specifically to the Italian branch of futurism, which predates the Russian branch of futurism by at least a decade and whose manifesto contains statements such as

We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman

and

We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice.

anyways have a nice night!

I'm thinking of Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace by Evgeny Sedukhin again...

[juney-blues]

hmm okay i'm trying to dig up a source on this painting, to see if i could find it in any higher quality

but i can't find any evidence of its existence from before 2018 lmao

and searching the artist's name only gets me like 6 pages of results on google

and a little artist showcase page on arthive for this guy with exactly 1 painting listed

and a biography that spells this guy's name like 5 different ways

which i'm pretty sure is because it's machine translated from something

very mysterious

[juney-blues]

oh doing his name in russian gives me some actually useful results, why didn't i think to do that

[juney-blues]

tumblr is the funniest social media bc when you get a follower on tumblr your reaction isnt "oh cool a follower" its "wtf someone followed me¿¿ 🤨 sus... time for a background check"

[crabussy]

really fond of humans just from an appearance standpoint. the long legs. the manes of hair that can come in practically any colour and texture. those crazy high-contrast eyes with the white scleras and colourful irises. the fingers being so much longer than the toes. there's a lot to love. solid 10/10 animal species

human ears are such bullshitttttt i cant even emote with these. whats the fucking point if i cant swivel my ears in ur direction or like perk them up when i hear something interesting or point them all back when something scary happens. whats even the point

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too

[ayy-junipei]

Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

Adding important info to this post ^^

[dodecalemma]

These outfits costs that much because they are handmade extremely intricate extremely time intensive wearable art. I think it’s awesome that these designers (read: artists) get this opportunity to be paid appropriately to make their incredible art. You (presumably) don’t complain about other forms of art costing millions of dollars. We want people to value the work of artisans more, not less!!!

Tl;dr it’s not just “an outfit” it’s a piece of art and deserves to be treated as such

[cinemaglow]

It's not just about paying the designers, it's also about paying the weavers, dyers, and other artisans who make the materials, usually on heirloom equipment and sometimes involving endangered crafts; and the possibly hundreds of people involved in patterning and constructing the garments. And depending on the design we also have specialists, like the corsetieres who engineer the structures underneath it all; the embroiderers, beaders, pleaters, trim weavers, passimenterie houses, silk flower makers, lace makers etc involved in embellishing the garment; the milliners, glovemakers, jewelers, shoemakers, leatherworks, 3D modelists etc who are commissioned to accessorize the look. Each look involves many, many, hours of work by many, many, people; all of whom have undergone specialized education to develop their skills and qualify for their positions.

I think many people on tumblr care about fair compensation for artists and fair compensation for garment workers, and this is the intersection of those issues. It's not like ready-to-wear luxury goods where the high price tag comes from an insane mark-up that all goes into the pockets of the company; the high price is due to the labor and quality materials involved, and designers make very little profit on these pieces or may even lose money on them.

Like just in case y'all didn't realize: everything you see on that red or whatever color it is this year carpet is 90% stitched by hand

[hyperlexichypatia]

I think "money spent on extravagant art is a waste that should be spent on helping the poor" or whatever is a valid stance that I won't dismiss out of hand, but if you feel that painting, sculpture, music, theater, etc are valid uses of resources for human artistic expression, but fashion and fiber arts are frivolous vanity... I mean... Spot The Feminine Coded Art Form. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[cricketcat9]

This is how it's done in Eastern Europe. Very many years ago I've seen an old lady in my grandparents' village doing it with a very similar tool and beeswax. You need a REALLY good eye-hand coordination...and ability not to mess your design with your own fingers (which I definitely don't possess).

You have to be willing to sit through horrible albums sometimes to look for new music and you might find it impossible but it’s what makes life worth living to me. it takes the discipline of a warrior to be a true music lover not everyone can survive it

This comic only mentions different hallucinations based on sensory modality (which sense it impacts) but there are other ways to categorise hallucinations such as the theme of the hallucination or the severity of the hallucination

Hallucinations don’t only affect schizospec people and can happen to people without a psychotic disorder or any mental illness/condition
