Genuinely curious, what makes you so interested in rot and decay? I notice it's in a lot of your art, most of your fruit people were paired with a rotting, moldy version. I think you had some mushroom people drawing like that too iirc. And your newest piece is a decaying mermaid. What draws you into those themes?
All your art is beautiful and amazing btw!
Itâs kinda silly, but I had a very religious upbringing and was taught Iâd live for eternity and that I must devote my life to god in order to gain a spot in heaven - which sounded like absolute purgatory to my child self. I didnât even ask to be born, and now youâre telling me I have to keep this bit up FOREVER? A lifetime is already overwhelming, let alone eternity.
As a cope I got really into death, rot and the natural cycle of life. Let there be a conclusion to this short window of existence
Also - isnât it kinda messed up to have kids if you believe in the concept of hell? You pull an innocent soul from the abyss, and now they run the risk of eternal damnation.
The whole âItâs our duty as gods chosen people to create families in his honorâ spiel just sounds like pushing the consequences onto your offspring. Like those chain emails that say youâll die if you donât send it out to 5 new people.
