Your art is so incredible. especially your aftg art—they are filled with so much beauty and so much soul. I adore your messy rendering style and your freehand lines. I hope you don't mind but I have the jeanneilkevin trio art as my home screen and I love staring at it for minutes on end. you capture them so perfectly and so beautifully, and your art style is so unique and so ziegenkind094. that beautiful balance between mute tones and vibrant, that little pop of color in the hair and wherever else... the absolute life in your art as you draw people so naturally.
I like to interpret the trio art as Neil being out in the white as he has accepted his fate and moves towards a better future, even with all its shortcomings. Kevin sits by similarly, but a small amount of darkness lingers, because the trauma will be difficult to stop remembering. Jean sits in a darkness that seems to be fading, showing his difficult past and the memories he thinks he can never forget. but he turns towards them, secretly hoping to be like them, free despite trapped. a spark of jealousy that he hates himself for, deems himself undeserving of such a luxurious yet horrible emotion. how his forever partner glances at him, and he sees the what ifs.
I'm not sure if you meant anything by the background choices, but regardless you did something 🌸🌸 forever my favourite ziegenkind094 art, amongst many others.
it's so embarrassing how much I'm gushing over you and your art so I'm going to go as anon. I hope your days are filled with endless joy and peace. I hope you'll forever find happiness in the art you create, and I hope you'll forever give us the honour of seeing it in all its glory.
Thank you so, so much for taking the time out of your day to send this lovely message, dear anon. I kept it in my inbox for a while and read it many times, especially when I needed a pick-me-up. It means the world to me. ❤️ And I'm so happy that someone realized the symbolism in this drawing! I usually don't pay a lot of attention to such things, but this time I did and it's great when people notice. 🙆♀️
