I thought maybe the subject matter would supercede the medium. But maybe not.

It was the closest I could get using MJ - I guess true cannibalism turns on the gore filter

reply

yes

there is a universe of balloons where famous paintings are spontaneously recreated by balloon entities recreating exactly what happens here on earth and this is a snapshot of a particular event in that place

it is as real as anything

it's somehow even more viscerally upsetting than the original. maybe the reflecting light off the balloon blood?

This is somehow so much more disturbing than the Goya

reply

unquinnish.bsky.social•545 days ago

It really is, and I'm not quite sure why

reply

devesine.bsky.social•545 days ago

It's got some "degloved musculature" to it, and also the expression looks somehow *more* unhinged-in-a-serious-way with the balloon googly eyes, which may both contribute, but the soft animal of the body gets disturbed by what it will

reply

devesine.bsky.social•545 days ago

oh dear I just imagined the NOISES this would make

*horrific squeaky devouring continues*
