Siegfried and the Departing Odette The sorcerer’s betrayal shattered what even fate could not break. And under the cold moonlight, Odette rose from the dark waters one last time — not as a bride, but as a swan returning to the silence of the night. Siegfried reaches for her too late. Love remained. But the curse was stronger. My original artwork inspired by Swan Lake, tragic romance, and dark fairy tale aesthetics.

Зигфрид и улетающая Одетта Подлость колдуна разрушила любовь, которую они пытались спасти. И в холодном свете луны Одетта в последний раз поднялась над тёмными водами — не как невеста, а как белый лебедь, возвращающийся в вечную ночь. Зигфрид тянется к ней слишком поздно. Любовь осталась. Но проклятие оказалось сильнее.

Quand un dessin me prend du temps, j'aime prendre des photos du travail en cours. C'était mon auto-persuasion pour m'obliger à rentrer au plus tôt à la maison et m'éviter de m'éterniser au travail. Résultat, je me retrouve avec tellement de clichés que j'aurai pu faire un GIF de chacune de mes créations. C'est aussi une manière efficace de montrer le processus créatif et quelque part, c'est satisfaisant de voir le dessin prendre vie progressivement 😁

When a drawing takes me days to complete, I like to take a photo of the current work in progress. It was a self-hack to convince myself to go back home after work and not staying for (unpaid) extra hours. As a result, I took so many shots that I could have made GIF of each creation of mine. It's a way to share the creative process and it's somewhat satisfying to see how the picture came to life 😁

The Wagner Space Opera version of Siegfried is on YT now (probably this weekend only). Mime has a chemistry lab in the forest, the giants make an appearance as battle mechs and the speaking bird that helps Siegfried is out of some 90s cyberpunk anime.

The first two parts of the Ring Cycle are also there, in case you want to watch Loge ride a segway or see the Valkyries on their hydraulic lifts aka horses. Maybe the last part will also be uploaded soon. Personally I learned from this interpretation of the RC, when I first watched it, that I don't hate "modern" productions, I just hate boring and ugly modern productions. And this is neither boring nor ugly. (my screenshots)

A further counter-argument is that Siegfried, Mime’s opponent, is in no way simply the beautiful Aryan blond hero — his portrait is much more ambiguous. The short last scene of Act 1 of The Twilight (Siegfried's violent abduction of Brunhilde; under the cover of Tarnhelm, Siegfried poses as Gunther) is a shocking interlude of extreme brutality and ghost-like nightmarish quality. What makes it additionally interesting is one of the big inconsistencies of The Ring: why does Siegfried, after brutally subduing Brunhilde, put his sword between the two when they lay down, to prove that they will not have sex, since he is just doing a service to his friend, the weak king Gunther? TO WHOM does he have to prove this? Is Brunhilde not supposed to think that he IS Gunther? Before she is subdued, Brunhilde displays to the masked Siegfried her hand with the ring on it, trusting that the ring will serve as protection; when Siegfried brutally tears the ring off her hand, this gesture has to be read as the repetition of the first extremely violent robbery of the ring in the Scene 4 of Rhinegold, when Wotan tears the ring off Alberich's hand. The horror of this scene is that it shows Siegfried's brutality naked, in its raw state: it somehow “depsychologizes” Siegfried, making him visible as in inhuman monster, i.e., the way he “really is,” deprived of his deceiving mask — THIS is the effect of the potion on him.
