You should sell this as a sticker or something.

what do you think about adding 4 "discrete serifs" to the X?

Frightening and unsettling - yet captivating - artwork that tells a very important message.

One that needs to be told.

Excellent work, OP. Keep up the great work.

I was like what's up with his hand why did you make it look like a tentacle, pulled up the photo. Well shit you painted what you saw. Bonus the veil slips

I just kinda didn’t feel like going the extra mile with the hand because it’s not a focal point

[–] starshipHighwayman69@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nah it's spot on his hand was all wonky like he was ai generated in real life. No knock on you 5/5 stars.

And right you are OP. I've thought the X had some resemblance to a swastika but this is the first time I've seen someone actually realizing it graphically.

Elon has been obsessed with X since the Theil/Pay Pal thing.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Also X in ASCII table is under 88. That might be another reason he is so obsessed about it.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I had to go and check that, it's so on the nose. Yup, X is character code 88.

88 is Nazi code for HH (Heil Hitler). H is the 8th letter in the alphabet.

He said he isn’t political at all but the composition was on point

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Nicely done!

needs a moustache although I see the nose shadow is kind of for that. and then print it and stick it on every wall in your city.
