Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: @Darkleer Are you quite alright? I noticed you didn't have much to say about some of the pieces
[8:23 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Oh, certainly
[8:23 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> I did not want to drown the discussion in my commentary
[8:23 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: A shame, I was quite looking forward to your commentary
[8:25 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Ah, I suppose old habit had me hesitant
[8:25 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> The forms were all spectacular and bountiful, to say the least
[8:26 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Regardless of my preference of staging
[8:27 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Ah
[8:27 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: And what is it you prefer, then
[8:28 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Hm
[8:31 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Something less
D »—> Agrarian, or inebriate by implication
[8:34 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I see
[8:34 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: So, you are referring to the last one I posted
[8:35 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Yes
[8:39 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I take it that you disagree with the high degree of favor I have given it, then
[8:39 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: What about the agrarian nature puts you off
[8:40 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> In fact, I found your insight quite valuable, as I re-examined my initial opinion of it afterwards
[8:41 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> And of course the silhouette is sublime, rippling in fluidity
[8:42 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> I simply find the scenery
D »—> Simple, unfortunate in its tackiness
[8:42 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Tackiness
[8:43 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I really must protest, I wouldn't call it tacky
[8:44 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I would call it realistic, grounded, wonderful in it's mundanity
It makes the extraordinary nature of the hoofbeast stand out more, and yet complements the subtly softened edges of the piece
[8:47 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> I certainly appreciate the ju%taposition of placing an unattainable, ideal beast under the awning of something so mundane
[8:48 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> The contrast of the hard work implied to a figure so nearly divine is also admirable
[8:48 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> But a saloon
[8:54 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Don't tell me you really haven't noticed
[8:57 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—>
D »—> Pretend I haven’t
[8:58 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: His sheer girth, strength, height
[8:58 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: The size of him
[8:59 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: As gentle as he is, there is no way he can fit through the door of that saloon
[8:59 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: And there is no sign of wear or tear to indicate that he has once managed
[8:59 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: It is juxtaposition again
[9:00 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Then why render the sign at all, only to bar him entry
[9:00 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Is the implied sobriety truly so noble when it is the only choice
[9:01 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Oh, honestly Darkleer
Placing him in a social location implies his nobility will have an affect on those within and without
[9:02 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: The approachability of his features is essential for that very reason
[9:02 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> What, from outside the establishment
[9:03 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> If the patrons could make out more than his serratus anterior behind the door I’d be shocked
[9:04 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I can't believe this
[9:05 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: There is a window
[9:05 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: It is as clear as moonlight, Darkleer, for fucks sake
[9:07 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Ne%t you’ll tell me the lasso is to drag would-be patrons back outside
[9:09 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Could his easy, inviting demeanor just as easily be interpreted the opposite way
[9:10 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> That his genteel mannerisms despite his implied coarse duties might seduce those into the saloon
[9:13 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I honestly resent the implication
[9:16 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> A door is an entrance and an e%it
[9:17 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I can't imagine the type of crude person who would make something with that implication
[9:18 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> But that is just it, nothing is e%plicit in this artwork
[9:20 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I
[9:20 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I genuinely can't believe you would be this elitist
[9:22 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Elitist
[9:22 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Why not just slap a bonnet on the beleaguered beast, if you are so partial to the theme
[9:22 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Yes, a simple change of scenery is
[9:23 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: That would be tacky
[9:23 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Messiahs, do you really consider me so lacking of taste?
[9:24 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Would you consider his standing outside a brothel to convey the same message as a saloon
[9:24 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> It’s just a trite theme
[9:25 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: And you would improve upon it with the complete lack of theme so common in traditional art? The same dull thing we've seen again and again?
[9:25 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: As magnificent as well rendered haunches are, even they can get dull when given no greater weight
[9:26 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> And a saloon provides that weight
[9:26 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: For me, apparently so
[9:26 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> Very well
[9:28 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Very well
[9:30 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—>
[9:31 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Yes?
[9:32 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> How e%traordinarily mature
[9:32 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: :o)
[9:32 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: You noticed quicker than I anticipated, all told
[9:33 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I even warned you, along with everyone else
[9:34 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> How does enacting a juvenile punishment for having been disagreed with make me the elitist
[9:35 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Luckily the nickname only mentions what you are, nothing of whatever you might happen to think I am
[9:39 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> I now know you cannot stand to be challenged
[9:40 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Excuse you
[9:40 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> I admitted to rethinking my initial impression before
[9:46 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: And followed it up by calling it tacky
[9:46 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> Just the staging, unspeakable terrors
[9:47 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Noticing the hoofbeast is fabulous is like noticing the color of the moons, the fact it took until I spoke well of it for you to come away with the obvious impression is hardly a point in your favor
[9:49 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> Don’t be dense, I was referring to the contrast of the scenery compared to his noble form
[9:50 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: ...
[9:50 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: Fine, perhaps the signage could be
Uplifted, to some degree
[9:53 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> I appreciate your concession
[9:54 PM] Elitist (hannah): D »—> And I am changing my nickname
[9:54 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I'm frankly amused you kept it as long as you did
[9:55 PM] Darkleer (hannah): D »—> I choose to consider the gesture a symbol of our compromise
[9:57 PM] Juryrigg/Ringleader/Pawerful: I'm still annoyed you mentioned the mere concept of him in front of a brothel
But it served it's purpose, I suppose
