it’s really cool how in your art I sense simultaneous struggle against technocracy and a sense of empathy for sentient machines and their potential for freedom
<3 thank you, I suppose that is what I’m going for… but who knows, it’s just surrealism doodlery
You may not have noticed, but your brain did
Now you’re getting it, surrealist!
the penguin tears me up
Lot of history behind that one!
It’s dangerous to be just a mindless disciple and put goals ahead of empathy…
Absolutely… but it is not a very beneficial approach, if you run a cult.
You have a point. Maybe I was being as naive as technomage, considering we are seeing things mainly from her eyes. Never thought about how fish could be a really messed up character, considering the things the happened in his past… also penguin looks really distressed, maybe on ptsd… Or maybe I’m just paranoid and overthinking the whole thing
It tends to get a lot darker the more you think about it. While undoubtedly the Fish (last of the Open clan) does see Girl as his daughter, his ultimate goal is to raise a mage who would (perhaps even blindly) continue his legacy once he’s gone. Girl is also naively trusting whatever the Spirit of the Machine in the sky and Fossangel tell her.
In contrast, the Rabbit Techno-Mage sees the machine deities as evil supernatural beings, who meddle with earthly affairs for no apparent benefit to anyone.
The least dogmatic seems to be Fosschild, who as a street urchin learned how to survive with whatever tools were at hand, but since it became Techno-Mage’s student, the Fish-Girl cycle might very well repeat.
I have a feeling (hope?) we are going to see a big twist. Otherwise, Mata already won…
Who are those characters?
From left to right - (memory bubble): Fish, Girl
(Present time): Penguin, Techno-Mage, Cirno, AK47, Fosschild, OpenBlade.
Hope it helps.
Didn’t know AK47 was a character, interesting
Thank you!
