Because this is just AWESOME

Eto, the wonderful artist of Mory's Education (google it! NOW!), is still taking art commissions. I already have one, it's where this avatar comes from, where my two favorite characters share a dance in the moonlight. Lilly is the bubbly, cheerful, pagan, fennic fox poet. Guyth is the gloomy, angsty, butterfly poet. They are two sides of the same coin. He's hopelessly in love with her, and she has learned to like him (source of many jokes in the comic), but he won't speak of it and she's clueless. Hence, the dance picture was named "Never".

I contacted Eto in June in the hopes of getting another commission. It came just in time for Wolf's birthday. I've put it behind a cut as it is not as large as I thought. (click twice on the picture to get a good look at the details, they're GORGEOUS)







I sent a copy to Wolf, he called it "dirty". Once he explained, I was blushing. What caught my attention was the expression on Guyth's face. It's EXACTLY the same look Wolf still gives me.

So, fellow pagans and various artists, what do YOU think?

I wouldn't call Doc's interpretation "objective". More like a parody of a Freudian interpretation.

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

I'm still curious why Wolf thought it was "dirty"?

The picture is cute, and just as you described it to me.

Wolf very kindly pointed out to me that catching someone with your Maypole ribbon is basically announcing "I'm going to mate with you and it very well may be kinky."

It's all about the sex, baby.

Well, It's more like "I want to mate with you". Although, allowing one's self to be caught could be interpreted as encouragement. There is nothing in the tradition implying kinky sex.

But you already knew the ribbon meant he wanted to have sex with her, that is why you had them doing that. Even without the Maypole trying to "catch" someone is hardly subtle.

true.. sex is sex & it does not equal kink

Ok, now you are just speaking a foreign language.

Don't mind me. I'm just going to be over here in a corner blushing and cringing.

I refer you to the "nazgrrl" tag in my livejournal, followed by the comic in question.
