Am i the only person to be utterly entranced by this picture?

I think everything about it is perfect - it's absolutely incredible; I'm not an art person but i think this is amazing.


Thoughts?

[original_psycho]

Yeah, it's cool! I kinda got into art since I visited the Louvre twice and saw all those amazing paintings and sculptures.

[Noodles is gay]

Yay, i'm not that weird then!

I kinda got into art when i saw some of Michelangelo and Raphael's stuff at the vatican; that IS good!

[the_GoDdEsS]

I'm not that thrilled by the impression it gives me.
But the quality and style are astonishing.

Yeah like the veins in the blokes arm and his muscles etc.

[Eccentric Sara]

Yeah,tis cool indeed. What is it meant to depict though? A gay love affair that is supposedly sinful (hence the devils and red background)? To be honest,I find it rather arousing ;) Those blokes both have great bodies. However,what puzzles me is why can't you see the bloke on the right's genitals?!! They seem to have done a disappearing act! Or maybe he is just very,erm badly hung!!!lol

I wanna visit the Vatican. My school organized a trip to Italy once but, my parents didn't let me go. They did let me go to France that summer.

Haha - everyone else is talking about the quality of the picture and I'm talking about the bloke's genitals!!!! :D *Picks up mind from the gutter,dusts off,replaces* Well,SOMEONE had to lower the tone!!!!!

[sKratch]

I think it's supposed to be a vampire type thing with very homosexual innuendos.

The two figures on the left are Dante (Dantes' Inferno) and Virgil (Roman writer), and i believe they're meant to be looking around Hell. Their bodies are amazing (not just from a feminine point of view, but from a art one), his leg's in the way! It doesn't look odd that you can't see his genitals to me! Maybe just because i love the picture so much though. :p

I don't know a lot about this picture because i've only just found it, but if anyone does know anything then please share.

is that my dear friend Cecar standing there on the left?
and some pope next to him..
that flying guy looks like original_psycho..
those other two homos are tripboy and trip boy..
and that one dead guy on the ground is summer_guy.

[original_psycho]

that flying guy looks like original_psycho..
So you already recognize me... Woo-hoo!

[Pinocchio]

So you already recognize me... Woo-hoo!

don`t we all? hehehe

I mean it`s hard not to recognize with that looks :D

[original_psycho]

My natural beauty shall not be mocked!

[Pinocchio]

I understand you can take any form of a living being..?
have you ever been a hippotamus? :D

[original_psycho]

No... I'm into skinny things/persons...

[JoY]

Haha - everyone else is talking about the quality of the picture and I'm talking about the bloke's genitals!!!! :D *Picks up mind from the gutter,dusts off,replaces* Well,SOMEONE had to lower the tone!!!!!
haha, you indeed made a fine contribution there, young lady.

[The Talking Pie]

To be honest,I find it rather arousing ;) Those blokes both have great bodies.
Ditto... :p

Awesome picture though. Not too sure about the content, but its quality is kickass.

[Naz]

All the bodies being pulled out/going into the fire in the background is kinda disturbing. But I like art like that, something that makes an impact on you and makes you look at whats going on.

[GBH2]

Yay, i'm not that weird then!


well, i wouldn't go that far....

[Noodles is gay]

well, i wouldn't go that far....

*snigger*

Thank you for that! :cool:


No, my friends just couldn't understand why i liked it - they just saw it as 'rank' and 'sick'.

But yeah, i do find it amazing though.

[Pinocchio]

No... I'm into skinny things/persons...
oh mine... then you must have taken a form of a skinny guy and went into men`s locker room you filthy being.. :D

[original_psycho]

But yeah, i do find it amazing though.
So there's two of us who like it...

[original_psycho]

oh mine... then you must have taken a form of a skinny guy and went into men`s locker room you filthy being.. :D
I went into the boy's locker room even as my original form of a girl so... Yeah...

[Noodles is gay]

So there's two of us who like it...

No, more than two; eccentric sara, joy, the talking pie, naz, the_GoDdEsS

[Naz]

and that one dead guy on the ground is summer_guy.


LOL! So thats what he's been doing... we all wondered about his sexuality with his Dexter obsession n all....

[original_psycho]

No, more than two; eccentric sara, joy, the talking pie, naz, the_GoDdEsS
Even better!

[Pinocchio]

I went into the boy's locker room even as my original form of a girl so... Yeah...
wow what an unholy confession... that might have caused some suprised atmosphere if there were guys naked.

[Eccentric Sara]

haha, you indeed made a fine contribution there, young lady.
I think its VERY important to make a contribution to the world!*Nods wisely* lol :D

[JoY]

No, more than two; eccentric sara, joy, the talking pie, naz, the_GoDdEsS
hey, I didn't say I like it. :p
I find it fantastic if you can paint like this; it's very picture-like & the movement in the painting is astonishing. but I prefer a bit more abstract style, that leaves more to the imagination. like my uncle (well, you wouldn't know what he paints like, but we'll talk after he died ;) ), or van Gogh. stuff like that. & many things are out of proportion & very exaggerated. like the fingers, that grab in the guy's skin & the muscular bodies.. this makes it very unrealistic. it's still quite beautiful, though. can't argue with that.

[original_psycho]

wow what an unholy confession... that might have caused some suprised atmosphere if there were guys naked.
There were two in their underwear, nothing big. Once, a guy in my class dropped his pants and started running around holding his dick... So... Yeah... I'm having a great childhood...

Ah, sorry i misunderstood. :p

Actually you're right about the blokes fingers pulling the other ones skin - if they really were that muscular then it wouldn't happen like that because he'd just get muscle and you wouldn't get the weird (but amazing) ridges that have been painted there. I don't know about the muscular bodies though - it works much better obviously but i still think it looks pretty realistic.

Post an abstract piece then! :) I also love Michelangelo and Raphael so again they're all the same style, but i know nothing about art at all

[Pinocchio]

haha.. wha..t... hahahahaha
you`re serious right? in what weird country are you living where people are that nuts?

..not talking of you ofcourse... :D

[Pinocchio]

LOL! So thats what he's been doing... we all wondered about his sexuality with his Dexter obsession n all....
yep, problem solved :D

It`s weird, the summer guy disappeared right at the same time, when I came here...
hmmmm...
1+1...= ?
nah, just kidding with you.. no one took it seriously right...

[original_psycho]

It's true... And I was the only one that didn't look away... Ha!
And yes, we all are nuts! But I'm special cause I'm a peanut..

[JoY]

yep, problem solved :D

well actually....

[Pinocchio]

peanut... as a peanut we eat? I think I`m not quite following..
:D hahaha

[Pinocchio]

well actually....
oh no, not you..
I....ummm....it`s not what it seems....there`s a reasonable explanation for everything right.. you know..

coincidence... :D

[original_psycho]

No... As in peanut, the superior form of a nut..

[Pinocchio]

No... As in peanut, the superior form of a nut..

hmmmm...let meh think... so this word riddle, does it refer to you being a nutcase?

like... wacko? that would be the first thing that comes to my mind..

[original_psycho]

Well, being nuts means being wacko...
Being peanuts, it's actually the superior form because the word peanut is longer than the word nut.
But the meaning is the same...

[Talman]

It looks as though someone's stuck the heads on the bodies using photoshop. I like the surroundings, but the guys getting it on kinda puts me off.

[JoY]

here's some stuff from my uncle. if you google the guy, you get German, Swedish, French, Dutch & English pages. hah, I'm enjoying this.

http://www.bmi2.bmt.tue.nl/image-analysis/People/BRomeny/FEV/FEV%20book%20cover%20300x457.jpg
I don't know how many books about him have been made, but I think about 20. I think they chose a lovely painting for the cover.

http://www.edisud.com/Covers/2-85744-947-X.jpg
this is another one of the books about him & his work. the painting on the cover is a grapetwig. he always paints extremely colourful.

[JoY]

http://www.galeries.nl/fotosgr/0018545romeny_e.jpg
we bought this one. it's rather small & it's hanging in our kitchen.

http://www.galeries.nl/fotos/0018544romeny_e.jpg
we have a painting of him that looks a lot like this one.

I picked out most of the paintings we have of him. I think they're terribly beautiful. too bad the internet doesn't come up with his most loveliest work.

[HornyPope]

I wanna fill my house with lots of kick ass paintings. I currently have one by Dali. It's actually kind of nice, not exactly my style, but it fits in the bedroom perfectly.

[JoY]

this is a painting by van Gogh, that I really love.
http://www.arches.uga.edu/~ryanbush/starry-night.jpg

this portrait of himself is also great.
http://www.abcgallery.com/V/vangogh/vangogh84a.jpg

but I suppose you know his style. can't find the painting I love most of him.

[JoY]

me too. I think there's a pretty good chance I'll inherit most of my uncle's paintings, as my mother knows how much I love them. not that I'm already waiting for that moment.. my brother doesn't care much about art, but I'd love to surround myself by it, when I have my own house & stuff.

[wheelchairman]

Anyways ever since I met a girl who thought she was a vampire, and who tried to convince me that she had 'bloodlust' or whatever it was, and that it was reality. I've found everything to do with vampires to be increasingly lame.

shrink, anyone?

[wheelchairman]

shrink, anyone?
Yeah I would assume that would definitely be a requirement. I suggested it to her, she got rather offended. She was rather offended that I didn't believe her even after her 'proof' though.

she has a paranoidic schizophrenia.. or she just punked you, but I believe you, she`s probably mentally ill.
it`s rather common these days.
thinking that your a vampire is the most common paranoidia among schizophrenic young cases.

omg.... that is f*ckin brilliant.....where did you find it?

Yes it certainly is!

Found it when i was looking for stuff about Virgil (Roman poet), like i said it's Dante and Virgil so if you wanna find more like it just type that into google image search.

[arak0r]

to me it looks like theyre fighting, much like animals, and the guy is ripping the others throat out. generally you dont slam your knee in someones back and rip out their throat during intercourse, but thats just my opinion

YES!

That's what it looks like to me! They're in hell and it's showing the horrors of hell - i don't know who suggested they're gay but they almost certainly aren't. Look at the attacker's left hand - almost clawlike, that's not love!

[arak0r]

thank god im not the only one that sees that :\ i was beginning to think everyone was blind, or were into extremely odd kinky shit :|

[Noodles is gay]

People here are into some 'kinky shit'! :p

Yeah, i think that's right though - why would there be demons and death around them if they were making love?

The attacking guy is like some kind of demon with the muscles and the biting, and the other guy appears to have been overpowered and so has given up - shown by the limpness in his arms.

And also Dante and Virgil have looks of horror on their faces.

[arak0r]

werd. the way the attacking guy is holding him up, and the claw on the side. that aint right O_o

[JoY]

THAT is not schizophrenia. possible Multiple Personality Syndrom (which nowadays has a new name), but she doesn't see, hear & experience people, that aren't there.

NO, of course it doesn't look like sexual intercourse. my goodness.

[arak0r]

well yes, i know this, but someone, or some people suggested its a gay love affair :P

[JoY]

two men naked raises suspicions in this society, I suppose.

Indeed; people these days are narrow-minded imbeciles.

[wheelchairman]

This coming from a person who's moniker is Noddles is gay and used to have two greeks doing anal as her avatar....

anyways, here's what appears to be an attempt to re-create your painting, done by my friends and I a week ago.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/wheelchairman/rename3.jpg

[Noodles is gay]

^^ erm, well....yes i can see part of the resemblance but you should all get naked then it would work much better!

Well yes my avatar was two Greeks getting anal but just shows my lack of narrow-mindedness. My moniker again re-enforces this because I don’t jump to immediate, homosexual, conclusions.


NB. You have really pointy teeth by the way, WCM.

Normally not, I guess I'm like some sort of vampoholic, where it takes alcohol.

[Pinocchio]

yea, I suspected that she would do those things, it`s wrong suspecting something like that if not knowing her. schizophrenic people tend to think their someone else, like for examlpe jesus or a vampire,when the psychisis has gone far enough.

in multiple personality syndrom, a person can have two personalities or more, like one might be sane and an other very aggressive etc. BUT they don`t think their vampires. (there`s also an other kind of dissosociation disorder(=same thing as m.p.s), removing own personality from themselves,but that doesn`t suit being a vampire either) they just have different personalities, which they have created because somthing very bad has happened in their childhood for example. thinking that you`re a vampire for real is already a psychosis.

and the line between different psychosis is often somewhat unclear.

so, she has a psychosis, and a guess is that it`s schizofrenia..

here`s proof :
