I can't decide if I want to buy a print of this or not. Because if I did, I would be forced to get it framed and put up on my wall, and I would have to explain to guests what's so significant about how one of the most famously transgressive pieces of Christian-themed art has been turned into a pin-up of a sexy muscular tiger man. And part of me is afraid of the other part of me that is kind of excited about that prospect.And I only have about 8 hours to decide.
What?Nigga.
>>7742589What art school does to a nigga.
>>7742589I forgot where I was.
>>7742588buy it immediately that is the most kino picture I've ever seen in my life
>>7742588You have to buy a print
>>7742588I aint even a furry and that's a good image. Also fuck what other people think bro it's YOUR house
>>7742588>>7742605Let me take a swing at it. The original is all about summoning up all this visceral emotion regarding this figure that's supposed to be the ultimate evil, the temptor, a monster. He's not just utterly human in form, he's not just beautiful; you can feel the depth and complexity of his very human pain and despair and anger and feelings of betrayal and animosity. It's almost an affront to theological notions of the unchanging, black-and-white nature of God and anything that would go against God (good and evil), this grounding-yet-romanticized portrayal.Meanwhile, the furry version is clearly calling back to it, but erases several key elements. The tiger man is just a beautiful, but clearly something other than human, and instead of body and visage being contorted in heightened emotion, he's relaxed and stoic. Meanwhile, the angels that feature so prominently in the background of the original are replaced with clouds; iridescent but common.It's a complication of the complication. The figure moves both farther and closer to the banality of humanity. His existence is a miracle, but of science or magic or simply human imagination; there is no god, there is nothing to get so worked up about. His situation as Lucifer recalls the supposed degeneracy of furry, but the erasure of allusions to the moral dogma of the church seems to push viewers to reconsider the role he's been cast in. There is no greater clash of virtue, it is just sexy tiger man on the beach.Am I close?
>>7742588I...... what?
>>7742588Only buy it if you're gay
>>7742735Satan is geeked but buff furry tiger is locked in
>>7742588I feel so fucking bad for zoomers, man. You guys didn't stand a chance. I hope the people who made smartphones end up at the Hague.
>>7742735You can just say it's gay erotica based on a well known painting. I don't buy the "it says so much by removing everything with meaning and saying nothing" interpretation
Good painting, classic. But I have never seen anyone give a shit about it in the last 2 years that wasn't a pooner
>>7743053we don't talk about you at all
>>7742588I'm an actual gay person (unlike these other larpers) AND I'm intimately familiar with The Fallen Angel painting.This furry painting doesn't even remotely resemble it. No one is going to clock your obscure, poorly executed joke.If I saw that in your house I'd call you a fag.
>>7743169I respect your defensive reaction and I *see* you and *honor* your feelings. The creatures who turned you into a lost, sad, sexually scrambled soul will be held to account.
>>7742588this rules
>>7743187I would suggest getting your eyes checked.
>>7742588I like how some furries want to have both slick smooth shiny skin, and hair all over.
>>7742588buy a cheap temu shed and hang it there. that's what i'll do. just get a cheap shed, put a chair and just sit
>>7743451They will also break Tony the Tiger's leg to show off the sole of his left foot without angling his left leg differently. The commit to the ref but don't, they want fur but don't.
>>7743187trvke. A furfag version of the fallen angel painting shouldn't be bara either, should be as lean as lucifer is in the painting.
>>7742605It doesn't even look like OP's image is referencing this, if that's what it's supposed to be doing. The rocks are different, the sky is different, the mood is different, the posture is different, the gesture is different.Are we supposed to guess the reference because the composition and pose is roughly the same?It seems more like an artistic influence, rather than a reference the audience is supposed to read into.>>7742588Get the fury degenerate image if you want, bit getting art to solely be transgressive and act above it all is kinda lame. Get the gay furry picture if you like gay furry pictures - otherwise, don't.
Furfaggot. Why would you fantasize about fucking a tiger guy? Delusional.HMOAF on the other hand...
>>7742735I feel it's also worth mention the fallen angel's nudity. He's lost everything. The angels above all have their robes flowing in their wake. About as fully covered as they can be and even sashes on top of it. The situation of having lost everything physically and emotionally. While tiger guy is just nude because hot tiger guy. There's just not reason above nudity beyond hot guy.>>7742588That being said, just get it if you want it. It's your house or apartment or whatever. Get what you want to cover it.
>>7742588>that somber expression of thinking back about all that cock he's taken up his ass
>>7743593Ew, why would you want to have sex with a w*man.
>>7743666you wouldnt get it
>>7742588you overthink it since I wouldn't think the average normie would connect it to the other painting even if art conscious unless you brought the question yourself
>>7742588that art got me shivers of disgust
>>7743720That's what it feels like to have taste and to recognize mental illness.
>>7743585>Are we supposed to guess the reference because the composition and pose is roughly the same?Yes, because the artist said it was.>>7743582>>7743187I want to understand what the mental illness is here, where the inability to accept that something you find disdainful exists leads to rejection of its existence. You can't just be like, "I don't like this," you have to be like, "It's not the thing I'm seeing in front my actual eyes."
>>7743593Not enough titties.
>>7743593HMOAF is for normies. This is why furries should have gatekept their shit hard. Now we have normalfag self inserters who just want to put huge tits on a wolf and fuck it instead of actually caring about anthro art.
In schizophrenia, “disjointed” thinking is often called formal thought disorder. It shows up in speech and thought patterns like these:Loose Associations – ideas jump from one topic to another with weak connections.Ex: “I’m going to the store… the store has keys… the universe is expanding like my waistline.”Tangentiality/Derailment – starts answering but veers off and never returns.Q: “How’s the weather?” A: “It’s nice. My cousin in Sydney has a dog. Dogs are good.”Word Salad – jumbled, nonsensical words.Ex: “Blue chair running fast heaven pencil slow.”Neologisms – making up new words or giving odd meanings.Ex: “I feel very gribble today.”Clang Associations – words linked by sound/rhyme, not meaning.Ex: “I’m fine, divine, wine, sign.”Perseveration – repeating words/ideas.Ex: “I need to go to the bank. Bank. Bank. Bank.”Blocking – speech stops mid-thought.Ex: “I was going to say something… uh…”Circumstantiality – overly detailed but eventually answers.Ex: “I brushed my teeth, had toast… oh yes, it’s sunny.”Illogicality – conclusions don’t follow logically.Ex: “I’m Jesus because I can drive a car.”These aren’t random; they reflect impaired organization of thought and are most visible in speech. Severe forms (like word salad) often appear in acute psychosis.Would you like me to also do a super-tight version (like a one-paragraph summary) for quick reference?

>>7743205i appreciate the knowledge there are grownups who feel anger on the behalf of us wretched and damned literal manchildren, but maybe its for the best that creatures like us are reduced to the state we have eagerly accepted. i don't mean to deny the lizards deserve to burn in hell too, but its a two-cunt deal that they've forged and we signed with gusto.at this point i just wish i gave in and also autolobotomized myself to the same degree my peers did. then i wouldn't be sneeding myself to sleep every night over what i know was denied for me and everyone else to come. i have given up on hoping for justice...
>>7744595you talk like a faggot
>>7742735hey anon just wanted to let you know that this was a genuinely incredible analysis in my eyes. I feel inspired to now think more about the art I consume and make, making technically cool art is great and all but imbuing such meaning into it is something else.thank you for this.
>>7742588One of the focal points of the original piece is the duality of the cast shadow on Lucifer's face. The chiaroscuro is done in a way that we see the tearful and wounded figure and the malevolent and sinister schemer in the same person. The literal two faced viper that Satan allegorically is in the Christian canon. The big gay tiger parody actually fails to do this aspect justice at all, presumably because the artist didn't want to try that hard and wanted to focus on his juicy tiger ass instead. So I wouldn't bother worrying about having to explain the allegory to your dinner party guests, since the artist wasn't bothered about replicating it.
>>7744971holy shit dude, thank you for pointing this out.we should have an art analysis thread, putting an entire story into your brush strokes like this is amazing.
>>7744398How do I actually care about anthro art?Is it one of those things where you just had to feel it?
>>7742588As people are having fun at looking to a furfag version of The Fallen Angel, here:https://files.catbox.moe/wviccs.jpg
>>7744971This is why I still come onto 4chan.
