bittterblue:ehlihr:so this is som kinda out there tma fanart ngl but i have a whole thing about it soim muslim (ismaili) and i grew up not very religious but at my elementary school i took classes where we studied the overarching faith etc etc and long story short the visual imagery of the faith has always shaped my perceptions of divinity and what it means to have power. i also grew up around classic islamic fractals and architecture so that’s a big visual influence. im also inspired by modern muslim artists, especially shi’a artist nabi h. ali, who always brilliantly uses colour and composition and is just so Smart about everything in his art. while this painting is playing loosey goosey with the idea of being unable to behold a figure, obviously, i am still in love with the idea of beholding-avatar-basira being “unbeholdable” as a consequence of her power. this drawing is a pretty personal expression of how i perceive deities so. wee!also the fractal on daisy’s back is a daisy fractal! so. also couldn’t resist putting in the evil eye bc Culture.[ID: a digital artwork of Basira and Daisy from the Magnus Archives podcast, drawn in expressive brushstrokes in deep, vivid blues, oranges and golds. Daisy is a large, wolf-like creature of dark blue with large, pale eyes, poised as if prowling. On her back is a detailed fractal in white with an orange center. Sitting astride her is Basira, a hijabi woman with a white veil obscuring her face, wearing a long dress of blue. In one hand she holds a book with an eye emblazoned on it, opened as if she is reading from it, and in the other hand she has an nazar charm on a chain. Around her head are five more nazar symbols, over a bright orange fractal. Leaf fronds of orange and brown grow out of the fractal around Basira’s head, as well as points and dots of light blue. The background is an ombre of deep blues with thick brushtrokes of orange towards the centre. End ID]OP I’m obsessed -- source link
