Our Lady of the Metaphors (pics)

Three views of Our Lady of the Metaphors (See this for the source of the inspiration.)
And I STILL couldn't fit everything in. I started out with Durer engravings-- I'm pretty sure copyright had lapsed on them. :^) It's a pity I couldn't post it full size- you miss a lot of the detail.

I kinda like her. She's scary, but versatile!

WOw! The Lady of many powers!

She's inspired by the excerpt of a published novel on this post in vandonovan's journal.

Dali would be proud. :)

Help. The egg hiney got me.

They are phoenix eggs, no less. Pity the flames are too tiny to see. :^)

Oh bloody hell, that's almost as terrifying as the text!

[info]entropy_house

March 13 2009, 21:49:30 UTC 3 years ago

Thank you. :^)

I am awed at your commitment to making that totally rubbish text into a visual example. Now you need to find the author and ask: "Is this really what you wanted?" :D

*giggle* I can totally see why a fairy king would be irresistibly attracted to her. :^)

Wow! that is aweful (as in full of awe). I amazed at how you managed tofi everything in.
Admittedly I didn't have the fortitude to read the full description but you had everything I remembered.
The Lovely Bronwen!

Some things I had to omit because he'd described the same part so many times I couldn't fit them all in. :^P

[info]ultrapsychobrat

March 14 2009, 02:24:08 UTC 3 years ago

Wow! Love her.

[info]entropy_house

Thanks. :^)

These . . . are absolutely awesome. They're fascinating! You've turned bad art into good. Wow.

[info]entropy_house

March 14 2009, 03:08:29 UTC 3 years ago

Thank you! I got caught up in it and really had a good time. I think I Harvested about 250 separated images before I began.

Staggering. I mean absolutely brain-stopping. It's more effective than the text, because it's not serial; one can apprehend something of the totality.

[info]entropy_house

March 14 2009, 14:05:56 UTC 3 years ago

Thank you! In this case three pictures are probably worth more than three thousand words. :^)

[info]maggock

March 14 2009, 17:57:50 UTC 3 years ago

HAHAHAHA now someone shares my pain of trying to get everything in there. It's bloody impossible!

[info]entropy_house

March 14 2009, 18:30:35 UTC 3 years ago

Yes! I couldn't even get the ferret tongue in! :^)

Gorgeous. Much better than the novel.

[info]entropy_house

Thank you. :^)

Brilliant... and way better than the writing :)

This shows far more talent than the source material. Bravo!

Thank you! :^)

Very well represented!

LOL

*Grin* She is so sexy. :^P

That is just...just...ohmygod. You deserve an award for such art, truly.

[info]entropy_house

March 21 2009, 19:00:06 UTC 3 years ago

Thank you. :^) I think posters of her ought to hang in every creative writing class. :^)

[info]chulacabra

These are actually beautiful. I'm really impressed considering the source material.

[info]entropy_house

Thank you. :^) Google is wonderful! I'd have been lost without him.

[info]newraine

March 26 2009, 04:56:40 UTC 3 years ago

You are awesome. Lol,I read the first three paragraphs in that horrid book and couldn't go on. These, however, are at least art.

[info]entropy_house

March 26 2009, 05:01:13 UTC 3 years ago

Thank you. :^)

These seriously look like they belong in the art museum on my campus. I should get them to fill the entire gallery with tributes to that horrible book. I love the locust feet particularly. Now I really want a pair of slippers with giant stuffed locusts on them.

[info]entropy_house

April 4 2009, 18:34:29 UTC 3 years ago

Locust Slippers! I am amazed that my googling just now failed to locate any. What a sad lack in the Essential consumer products market. :^)

The pictures look much better in the 300dpi version. If I had a good printer I'd be tempted to make them into posters. :^)

This really does show how giving waaaay to many descriptions of your character is going to look bad visually. XD The descriptions may have sounded pretty, but mashing them up all together just makes the character look so...grotesque. It's a cross between an abstract and surrealism art piece.

[info]entropy_house

September 11 2009, 14:58:47 UTC 2 years ago

*nods* They'd make good posters for aspiring novelists. Visualize what you're writing!

Having found my way there through diverse paths via friends of friends, I must say...as scary as the inspiration is, your art is rather lovely.

[info]entropy_house

September 11 2009, 15:01:42 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you! I thought, despite the grotesquery, she did wind up with a certain dignity and pride in her... uniqueness. :^)

Out of curiosity, what images of naked women did you use for your template? I'm particularly interested in the first one :)

[info]entropy_house

September 27 2009, 14:41:09 UTC 2 years ago

They were nudes by Durer which I found on a classic art gallery site (I googled just now and can't find it again). I still have the originals on my computer (each is about 80k.) If you'd like copies, then comment with the email you'd like me to use and I'll send them to you.
