>The Left Can't Meme >Commies ruin everything they touch >Tradition is not the preservation of ashes but the tending of fire
So finally that shit with the commies and anarchists finally calmed down enough to warrant a new thread, and even though they were right proper cunts about it, there was actually one commie with some decent criticizism.
I know some of you bros said you were going to work on some more OC, let's see what you got.
Bonus points for: >Hi Rez >Wallpaper >FUCKING AESTHETICS >Stats and Info about the pieces you are editing
I'll start: He-Man riding Battle Cat with the Black Sun (German Schwarze Sonne), also referred to as the Sonnenrad (German for "Sun Wheel") in background, boardered by a Tutonic Knight and a Roman Gaurd at the end of Pompeii, specifically by Edward John Poynter - "Faithful unto Death" 1865
Also featuring the valknut and Jerusalem cross.

FASHWAVE IS FOR FAGGOTS

This features a piece by François-Joseph Bosio: Hercule combattant Achéloüs métamorphosé en serpent (Hercules fighting Achelous transformed into a snake) draws its subject from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Achelous, the patron deity of the Acheloos River, the largest river of Greece, was Heracles' rival suitor for the love of Deïaneira, daughter of Oeneus king of Calydon. Depending on the telling, Acehlous transformed either into a snake or a serpent to battle, but he loses in both versions. This bronze version was cast by Carbonneaux in 1824 and commissioned by King Charles X of France.
Also features the black sun as well.

This shit is an eyesore.

Thanks for the bamp.
The python wrestler by Frederic Leighton 1877 - Also featuring the Jerusalem Cross.

Then sage and find something better to do.
This isn't a classical piece but I like it.
Robert Morgan
I have no idea what the source is for this one but damn, it's chilling.

So cringe your thread will be deleted ASAP Kys
Nicholas Richardson
This is Hans Langseth (1846-1927) of North Dakota, famous for his long beard. His picture was later edited by JezArt (I think?) into Odin with his two Ravens.

Love these threads. Xurious, Retrostein, Cybernazi. Favourite?
Matthew Collins
Went 3 threads long yesterday. *Shrug* Got anything to contribute?
Obviously an edit of one of the "We the People" series of Shepard Fairey, not really any variation of RetroWave but the edit really packs and emotional punch.

Thanks man. I love them too, art is a passion on the side and the combination of nostalgia I get from my childhood and the inspiration from the classical pieces that people manipulate is fantastic.
Another edit of The python wrestler by Frederic Leighton 1877, I like how simple this is, the overlay and the message.

I started making FAMWAVE
I hope these inspire you to save the race and look for the future
Cameron Evans
Anyone have any suggestions? Critiques?
Daniel Fisher
Going for a softer visual look because of it's tone, subject, and message
Adam Stewart
Vaporwave died two years ago. Fashwave makes us look like those losers who still high 5 thinking it's cool.
Jackson Watson
Edit of Arno Breker's "The Victor"
The message is steeped in irony. It's both grim and sorrowful.
Nathaniel Davis
Ok.
What do you think is a better AESTHETIC?
This one isn't wave at all but the icon and amalgamation of traditional icons is a good routine I think.
Cameron Garcia
I love it. You we're in the last couple threads right? I'm going to play around with this theme as well.
I really like how it is inspiring for both men and women, calling both to responsibility and fidelity.
Kayden Foster
Also, that piece is La belle dame sans merci, Painted by Frank Dicksee, in reference to the 15 century poem by Alain Chartier by the same name.
Landon Johnson
This is a take on The Lament for Icarus by H. J. Draper.
Leo Hall
This pic is tasteful, but not at all good for your purposes. Symbolism is simple, as few lines and colors as possible, but still effective at conveying your message. The glitch art and blended colors are all distracting from the symbolism. All the best brands are one word, one syllable. Coke, Fox, Shell, Gap. Limit your captions to one word, one syllable.
Aaron Peterson
Ok, thanks for the input.
This piece is extremely powerful, and simple, I think, in the vein of what you're proposing.
Benjamin Turner
How do you make stuff like this? Photoshop?
Aiden Watson
Again, there's still a lot going on in this picture. You want your images to be at their most simplistic, so that they are open to interpretation.
This symbol is a great example. You see it and you instantly equate it with something. No words, no colors, the symbol speaks for itself, and it's easy to replicate.
That is the kind of power you should strive for in your symbolism.
A good place to start? That circle is getting there, but it's still overly complex. Try reducing the inner lines to two or three, and remove the inner circle.
