Pleasantly surprised that this is not AI-generated. Props to the artist Ástor Alexander.

Thank you, I had no idea where this came from

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There are so many great paintings on that website. I bet this dude is crazy and fun.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

It's a commission but with no details about who commissioned it, suggesting it was a private thing. I imagine that was an interesting conversation:

"What would you like me to paint?"

"Well..."

There's so much going on here I don't even know where to start

[-] grue@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Of all the parts, I think the fact that the nun is wielding a violin bow is the weirdest.

Ohhhhh, that's what that is. I thought riding crop for some reason.

Some reason ( ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

Some of us grew up going to Catholic schools. At my school it was the strap, but a riding crop doesn't sound too far fetched.

Can confirm. This is a typical day in Florida.

The violinist is just commuting to work.

This looks like a dead island screenshot

Ahh the good old Florida baptism.

Let's commission the artist of this painting to make 100-ft murals of this in high traffic public areas

"Chemically mutated birds spreading the gay agenda" a painting by Alex Jones.

Throw in something about the Florida motherland being invaded and I think we've got an ironclad writing prompt.

Something about nuns with glasses..

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

How much does this game cost?

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Probably $60 like the other Wolfenstein games.

Dead Island vibes

Help me overthink why a nun wielding a violin bow is in a lake.

  • Violence was anticipated enough for the guys in the background to bring weapons, but it seems like there was some sort of ceremony with music to have the violin present in the first place.

  • In this universe, are flamingos normally violent? Or did they turn violent during the nun's recital? Did the music cause the flamingos to go crazy?

  • maybe these people were involved in some sort of time travel hi-jinx, considering the vaguely prehistoric setting

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You asked the right OP, because I love overthinking things lmao

Based on how he's dressed, I believe that the violin belongs to the man with the pistol in the background. The dog reminds me of Toto, so I think these folks were all at an event together when a tornado blew through the recital hall and transferred everyone to this new location where flamingos rule the world. The dude in the foreground is simply just a scared stoner that barely understands what happened yet, and was clearly a survivor from the initial slaughter when they all came to this mysterious land.

As for the firearms, I believe that these folks all came from Florida since they knew where the water would be relatively safe from alligators. It could be that through the nature of Florida people, everyone at the recital was packing, or they could have belonged to police officers before they were killed. The nun was given the violin bow as a last resort due to her vow of upholding the scriptures, she was too uncomfortable with wielding a gun.
