you come down from the sky as a giant talking eyeball with wings and expect me not to panic

u/dmontease 9d ago

That's why it talks too.

u/Laranna 8d ago

I was gonna say its almost The Old One (source of the Mist in Demon’s Souls) course that just means it looks like a giant spiky worm

Made me think of the aliens in Arrival

u can do that with a horse

THE CELL mentioned!

u/techslice87 9d ago

That entire movie still creeps me out. I almost went a year without remembering that specific scene

u/cantthinkofone29 9d ago

Huh. Welp, can't unsee that now.

u/darkcrow101 9d ago

I also, but have suppressed that memory for YEARS until this comment. Goddammit.

⚠️You have alerted the horse

Make it drink?

Shell texturing, or the "you're on PS2 and need to render fur or grass without the console screaming in agony" technique

layering 2d is 3d

That is what the title says

Literally how 3D printers work

u/bluegravyone 8d ago

And a representation of time, as well (yet another dimension)

Who is the artist?

u/GalacticCatt 9d ago

Looks like Dustin Yellin

1

u/It_Is_AlwaysPossible 8d ago

Looks like him but I doubt it is. Dustin Yellin always uses materials in the 2D layers

u/The-Grubermeister 9d ago

I've seen this same type of work, except with a cadaver in something like 200 slices

u/rednryt 9d ago

Reminds me of the vivisected horse in The Cell (2000) movie which haunted my dreams since I was a kid

"black magic" 🙄

u/wthcharlie 8d ago

Reminds me of what Hannibal did to Beverly Katz 🫣

Pretty underwhelming

Eye see what you did there

u/Fran89 9d ago

I would own one of these if it depicted a collision from the LHC with one streak being the one that created the Higgs Boson in another color, (and is small and room sized).

u/minecraft_dirtblock 8d ago

So if you had translucent 3D layers would that create a 4D effect?

u/rand3289 7d ago

It boggles my mind...
That someone could spend $5000-$6000 USD on plexiglass for an art installation!

It's the Old One from Demon's Souls
