AliceTheOwl Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Re: Daily Art Findings Great art. I just googled what slash was. I should have poured acid in by brain instead' date=' it would have hurt less. I think i heard of it a few years ago but my brain somehow blocked it out.[/quote'] Heh. Sorry. I made the assumption that everyone knew what it was by now. And anyway, she steers clear of that, so it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for those who know mare than my quick google. Is it male on male and why is it called slash?[/quote'] It's called slash because it's x/y fanfiction, in which x and y are any two characters from a series. First got its start in... oh heck, who knows...? I first heard of it in the mid-80s with Kirk/Spock stories. Of course, these days, it can be Buffy/Angel, River/(whomever), Integra/Arucard, Integra/Seras Victoria, Harry/Hermione, Harry/Draco, or... well, you get the idea. Most of it, is, of course, poorly written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Re: Daily Art Findings I saw it the opposite direction - the tower in the background is massive. The ships and town look to be in proportion to each other with that utterly huge castle above them. I think that's the effect he was going for - but look at the steps up to the castle: each one is taller than a house. Also the castle is proportioned "normally". It may be he intended the castle to be for somebody who was really really huge, of course, so 100 foot tall windows and a 700 foot tall door was intended. It just looks odd. Still, this is nitpicking: we agree it's areally cool image. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting so famous, I've seen people OTW saying "Yeah, it's nice, but he's no Raphael Lacoste." Nice piccie, btw. It's nicely done, but it looks to me like a pastiche of Caspar-David Friedrich's interminable Victorian "Gothic ruin" paintings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: Daily Art Findings But shucks, who can have too many gothic ruins? Actually I think he *is* inspired by Friedreich - he does similar-looking landscapes, too. But then he also does things like: http://www.raphael-lacoste.com/Matte_Paintconcept/dossiers/matte_SITE/pages/Babylone%5B1%5D.htm which make me gnash my teeth in frustrated envy cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
