Tell us about “is that allowed”
LOL okay... so there's this scene from BIRDMEN where they're in this cafe and this painting of Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Teresa sculpture is just?? casually hanging on the wall????
And I wrote an essay on its symbolic significance but I still couldn't get over the idea that in-universe someone looked at st teresa having a time and was like "yeah that's perfect for my cafe". At one point the sentence "What if we kissed under the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa at the local Pizza Hut" spawned and it was all downhill from there. I need you to understand that I started painting this for the bit.
Originally the painting in the bg was actually just going to be a study of the Bernini sculpture but then on a different day I was stricken with a different madness (normal about Karasuma and Umino hours) and I started doing a redraw with them and Shiba as st teresa and I was like. wow. you know where this would go perfectly. in that one unfinished painting of eishi and rei kissing in the cafe.
obviously the document title is from the vine where the guy filming points at this girl having a pda moment with her [hotly debated whether it's a real guy or a sex doll] in public and yells "What the fuck? Is this allowed? What the fuck— is that allowed?"
I wasn't good at painting skin back then (and I still don't think I'm good at it now) but probably everything will have to be redone LOL. But I'm sooo determined to finish this this is so fucking funny. I think if I finish it and it looks really good it truly will be one of the most baffling pieces of fanart anyone could come across (although I do think it's more confusing if it actually was a painting study of the original sculpture. because then people would recognize that and go, "What the hell is THAT doing here") It's always for the bit. the Kaishin communism comic? for the bit. even when I'm serious it's to be funny. I hope you can understand.
