Well done.

Thanks!

You can see the care and attention on this piece. Very well done, Arti.

Thank you. I did my best and have no regrets.

I’ve always appreciated Ori art that effectively captures their soft glow. You did fantastic.

Thanks. Yeah I love Ori's glow and tried making it not too overpowering for the rest of the picture

Say, are you interested into a starfox character with dronefication kink?

Hello, sorry, anthros are not my forte. I don't think I'd do a good job drawing something like that

Let's say a Krystal in a power drone-ish suit that's blatantly too similar to a jojo moment. Is it too high of your caliber?

I really don't think I'd do a good job with an anthro. Sorry

Somewhat related to the title per se, what do you think of IPNtv: The Unconquered presenting Poland? The one narrated by Sean Bean (ENG) and Miroslaw Zbrojewicz (POL).

Regardless, I wish you of the best of times ahead of the May 3 Constitution day.

Title relates to how agile and free Ori is when traversing the world. Very graceful and pretty <3

As for the vid: Honestly? It kinda reminded me of some intro for an old RTS game like Command and Conquer or War of the Worlds, The narration was pretty dope.

I am admittedly a bit sick of it. Of course, history is important to remember, but some poles just love to strut martyrdom like it's something to be proud about, and for me it often feels like many cling to that one thing and don't move forwards with their lives. Yes, it happened, let's remember it, let's keep records of it but let's not make it a national identity.

Also thanks. Hope you have a nice future too.

For me, history for sure is often tragic than not. And since the unfortunate underdogs are pretty popular tragedies, these are quite priceless to the national spirit of any ideology, be it religious or secular.

For the Greeks, it's Constantine XI "Marble Emperor". For the French, it's Joan of Arc. For the US, it's Abraham Lincoln. And what I find interesting is that their deaths entrenched the spirit of their respective culture/nation. The Greeks continued to defy the Ottomans even under occupation. The French endured, retook Paris and 2/3rds of their country back and eventually beat the English in the Hundred year's war. The United States stopped being a bunch of a confederation of states under a federal government and turned into one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Even in ancient history, the deaths of greats directly influence on the next generation. Leonidas for the Hellenes, Caesar for Octavian (who later became known as Augustus) and Aurelian for pretty much all of his successors up to Constantine the Great. When one weeps at Aurelian or Caesar, he isn't desiring the past but rather he weeps for the misfortune of great men of extraordinary character.

I can say for sure martyrdom has been as much of an importance as anthems and other icons. As to who actually deserves to be praised post-mortem, however, I can say requires much more scrutiny and should be conscientious of their goods and evils.

I wish it was like that, but by martyrdom I mean people blaming the current situation being bad on poland's history and neighbors during wars. It's always "It would've been different if germany/russia didn't attack us!" you know? Plus the examples you've given are more tied to a specific person, rather than a collective of soldiers. You said Leonidas is weeped for, but who gives a shit about any of the Thebans or any other unit that was in that battle that wasn't specifically a spartan? This is what happens in poland "Oh woe so many people died". It's never looking to the future trying to find some way to forge a path forward, just keeping old wounds ripped open.

He looks so happy

Thank you! I tried hard to make the pic good
