Excerpted from "Trilupinism - Before It Was A Shirt" (Carter & Fisk, Princeton University Press, 1987):
The Redacteurian cerberus, godhead and central totem of the Trilupinate faith. Chronicles offer dubious accounts of Trilupinate shamans being blessed with the trinity's clairvoyance, clairaudience, or omniscience during certain holy rites, possibly the result of hallucinogenic or psychotropic substances ingested during the preceding feasts.
_____________________________________
This one kind of turned into a double shout-out. First and foremost is obviously redacteur, who is the source of the All-Wolves as well as possibly the most stylish resident of FA. The style was the result of me coming off a bit of graphite-y drawing for the little animation I'm now using for an icon, but somewhere along the way, it started to resemble something stigmata might do, which is a Good Thing, Indeed.
So cheers, chaps. This one's for you

Sounds like this stuff I take for my throat. Like potpurri and a tonic. Of course drawing with this stuff around tends to give my style a slightly rougher edge. This is the loosest thing I've seen from you, not as in bad, but as in comfortable with your brush and confident with your stroke.
I think it's mostly the difference between my painting and my drawing. I mostly use drawing as a way to figure out and block in forms when I'm starting a painting, rather than actually making clean, refined drawings that stand alone as finished pieces, so this probably still has some of that usual sketchy roughness to it ^_^
Thanks! And I guess it depends, really. There are times when it's all about the spontaneity and the energy and taking an aleatoric approach where you invite happy accidents and chaos into your process, and there are other times when you might want a more realist look that isn't going to happen except through a very structured, deliberate process. I think keeping some sort of raw energy to a piece is really helpful to making it visually interesting, but whether it's left in by working spontaneously or carefully introduced through conscious decisions later on depends on the artist or the specific piece <3
ARG! Don't you bust out your smarty pants critical theory on me! I think that really what we as artists attempt to do, rather wild or exact in our styles, is to maintain a certain chord in our pieces so that when it is finished to the best of our abilities it carries its initial resonance! So as wild or realistic as you want a piece to be, whether you let it shape itself or force it into your own vision, it has to have a central weight and power that moves it from just plain old drawing towards something more powerful. Something at its core.
That, I'll totally agree with. I think that there are some cases where I'll just start aimlessly pushing paint around and an image will emerge from it, but most of the time, I have some idea or image that inspires me to paint, and the success or failure of the finished piece is largely tied to how faithfully and compellingly it gets across that initial inspiration.
However this idea is not sprung from the fruit of my own mind but rather the mind of another artist. He told me that most the time he pushes a piece to a place that it could be conceived of as being ruined and yet then he brings it back from the edge. To like, throw half a cup of paint on a painting and then work it all together using that. If you can maintain the initial integrity of the piece through out then you are set! Masterpieces ahoy!
You have no idea how much I love this! It's just an awesome design and it all fits perfectly, the graphic design on the wolves is just ace! (The lighting bolt and circles) I'm not gonna lie either, I thought this was Stig's art at first. ^.=.^; Hell, if Tattoo artists got so good to pin point replicate this, I'd get it tattooed! Swear down!
To round out the equilateral triangle, yes. I did, actually! But orienting the bolt sideways felt odd to me, and I kind of like the uncomfortable asymmetry of it.
The way my eye scans it, I first look at the black wolf's left eye (viewer's right), then to the slightly less bright right eye, then to the lightning bolt, which is a pretty potent arrow that takes me down into the white wolf's face and down the angle of his neck, which leads to the third wolf's graphical icon, then down his snout and to the text.
Plus I'm pretty sure a lightning bolt in the right ear mean's you're gay
