Chuff Chuff Art Crit.

[DECOY]

Hey everyone! Lately I havent been drawing much. But then I read the Chuff Chuff post by TK and "BAM!" instant inspiration. Id like to share with you a work in progress. Its my take on the imagery that TK spoke of. Opinions and ideas are always welcomed. Thanks in advance!

That is awesome.

Very well done

very anthropomorphic. I question your use of a pentagram- it's a popular symbol. Looks pretty good, maybe clean it up to finish it. nice work

I question your use of a pentagram- it's a popular symbol.

You would have to remember the automag revolution to understand some of the symbols. search through the archived threads, and you will understand.

Lose the pentagram and put in the AO honeycomb symbol.

Lose the pentagram and put in the AO honeycomb symbol.

Very good idea! I'll use it. It would be very positive to use the Hexagons. Kudos to you good Sir, kudos.

It's actually not a pentagram, it's a pentangle. Big difference in meaning.

Most sources show pentangle as a pseudonym for pentagram, so I'm not sure what "big difference" you see in the meaning.

In response to MANN: it's not that there is no meaning of the pentagram to a small group of people here on the AO forums. It's that the symbol has MUCH farther-reaching implications than WE here might intend when including it in a representative symbol for us.

Uneducated people might think that but the pentagram has hundreds of meanings behind it. Will it be a problem. No. Most if not all people see the upside down pentagram as evil not the right side up. If that was the case then I'm sure we'll have a all hands on deck with pitch forks and torches at the ready

Might as well call Jewish people satanist 2

[behemoth]

Might as well call Jewish people Christ Killers too.

fixed.

Cold blooded!

Uneducated people might think that...

HUH? Who's uneducated and what do they think?

...but the pentagram has hundreds of meanings behind it.

That's my point. No matter what it means or to whom it means it, that symbol is SO widely used that it's a liability to use it in your art.

Rudimentary iconography.

HUH? Who's uneducated and what do they think?

People who think the worst of everything. Don't bother to do researching and go off on the deep end on topics they don't understand.
Like most of our congressmen and so called leaders and then there's _ _ _


That's my point. No matter what it means or to whom it means it, that symbol is SO widely used that it's a liability to use it in your art.

ROFL....So is the cross and what liability are you referring to? Now your going to start telling us not to use the letter "P" because it's a "liability"!!! "OMG, looks like balls and a penis". Seriously, where is it going to end?

Rudimentary iconography.
Sorry you lost me with "Rud"
