Calliope the focus of this drawing. Eventually, I decided that Jade possessed by Alt. Calliope was the best fit, because the upbeat mood of the song fits Jade's personality, and the name was also very fitting for both characters since their aspect is space. I interpreted the "Cosmic Carousel" as the black hole turning endlessly in space while Alt. Calliope acts as the conductor as she watches over the various timelines. After my first sketch, I had Jade wield Calliope's wand, and I also gave her a happier expression to fit the overall mood of the song. -- cgit 1.3.0-6-gf8a5 From b3ec54bcc08b862e80ef24e50c8b7e5454e99ebd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "(quasar) nebula" Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 11:03:19 -0300 Subject: add (wiki editor) & (team manager) commentary annotations --- album/beyond-canon.yaml | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'album/beyond-canon.yaml') diff --git a/album/beyond-canon.yaml b/album/beyond-canon.yaml index 9866944..d0f6e38 100644 --- a/album/beyond-canon.yaml +++ b/album/beyond-canon.yaml @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ Groups: Art Tags: - Dirk Commentary: |- - Quasar Nebula: + Quasar Nebula: (wiki editor) Track art for Beyond Canon is from the Beyond Canon Track Art Anthology!

The best to represent the song in my opinion was Rosebot: in the song the singer is repeating "you just made a monster," acknowledging that they themselves are no longer a person and informing their initiator of what they had done. While designing the drawing I decided that rosebot had to be the center of attention of the piece so I focused on her color pallet and her aspect, light, was made to be just as robotic as she is, with orange metal linings as an example of ult dirks influence on her. The purple background is taken by her lunar sway, also, it was a good color to accompany the yellow in the piece. The rest are random metal plates with lining in between each plate forming a sort of tunnel with the only light being Rosebot and a clock of the moon and the sun surrounding her, each with their own meaning. In the end I love how the final piece came to be, I feel that it represents the song very well, and I had fun sharing with the organizers and the other artists. To be the first time working in this manner in a community was nice and I hope in the future to have similar opportunities like this.

Since the title of the song basically encompasses John's life during Sburb and by extension his fight with Lord English in the epilogues, I wanted to do something reminiscent of these ideas. Thus I went with the idea of some of the last remaining dream bubbles, and how they show pivotal points from the game session that John was apart of or would remember. I decided to also go with different color palettes, but each having a similar enough scheme that the bubbles showed cohesion. It was a very fun piece to work on, and is hopefully symbolic enough of John and his memories! -- cgit 1.3.0-6-gf8a5 From 7ecbb62832b3fc6910a4b2bde2d6474d021e373e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "(quasar) nebula" Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 13:59:22 -0300 Subject: more commentary annotations --- album/beyond-canon.yaml | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'album/beyond-canon.yaml') diff --git a/album/beyond-canon.yaml b/album/beyond-canon.yaml index 337bd49..f56c3d7 100644 --- a/album/beyond-canon.yaml +++ b/album/beyond-canon.yaml @@ -599,5 +599,5 @@ Commentary: |- Awkward: My initial thoughts on the mood of this song pretty much carried on throughout the entire creation of the piece, with it being quiet and melancholy, yet powerful in a way.
