this is probably gonna be a weird ask, so apologies on that front. I know you aren’t a FnaF fan anymore but I know you used to be a fan of Starchymcgee’s AU and comic series, since then it has gotten a sequel comic and it’s amazing, you don’t even have to like fnaf to enjoy it, have you seen it? If so what do you think?
I'm still a fan, just not as attached as once! I've just had also a LOT on my table, my university right now takes 8 hours per 5 days of my week, plus a belated ADHD diagnosis and etc etc etc... So Is Life.
But I'll try and give it a look! Starchy is a lovely unhinged artist, I'm always happy regardless to know that they're still going
I recently acquired several different colored pens from a secret santa gift and I just thought of you because of your art beautifully done in different colored pens 💜
ough,,,🥺 pens and markers are lovely, I really gotta get back into that like once..... GO WILD AND EXPERIMENT URSELF ILL BE LOOKING FORWARD IF U POST SMTH MY FRIEND!!!!!❤❤❤
silly little comic I did for ugly comic day about the subject I was studying, Christian iconography! Translation in the descriptions and uhh under the cut. I don't really have anything else sfw to put here soz.
FIRST PICTURE:
1- Christianity owes a lot from the influence of the Roman Empire2-being a Mosaic religion and so aniconic especially regarding the representation of God, initially it was categorically prohibited the attempt to depict divinity, even Christ
3-also, the Empire was FULL of pictures, especially statues. This adversion to statues, also, will remain even in the sixth century ac
4-In the catacombs especially, however, starts to make its way the usage of decorative and symbolic elements, then along comes the didactic and narrative art. (3rd sec)By closing an eye on those "not venerated" pictures, it makes way to a process let's say ineluctable.
5-In fact, thanks especially to Constantine, in the 4th century there's a "boom" of veneration of crosses and relics.
6-We start having already more writings as testimony from the second half of the 6th century onward. (Which will be used in the 2nd Council of Nicea in the 787 AC)
7-the more the cult of pictures increased, the more did the opposition of it and thus a higher defense of the pictures
SECOND PICTURE:
1-Not completely blameworthy: the practices towards the veneration of pictures, we can find in scripts of the 6th century ac, were similar if not the same as the veneration of pictures of imperials; candles, decorative tents, etc
2- from the many tales, it's prefigured a common diffusion of the votive picture in the private, which makes its control impossible (balloon: "....- I'll come back later)
3-The importance didn't remain strictly religious: already from the 4th century there had been oaths sworn on the Gospels. In the 656 it's transcribed a practice like this in an official ecclesiastical ceremony at the end of a theological debate, giving the pictures a legal value
4-All considering, the cult at those times was principally little delineated as some would have, already before the introduction of Christianity. Thus hard detaching from those habits.
THIRD PICTURE:
1-An interesting fact it's how there's little acts where the holy picture does miracles directly and/or with direct touch!
2-It often happens with a transfer, like in the siege of Edessa in the 554 described by Procopio in which the blessed water ailments the fire to destroy an assault tower.
Hmm bit vague, I can leave you with this handy website I love for finding references of animal heads in various views which has nice 3D skulls too with teef
but otherwise, it depends what your goal is, if it's not enough googling for a few carnivorous animal teeth refs :0
