I appreciate the skillful stylisation. The pictures look flat and deep at the same time, or as I would call it - 2.5D - which is an interesting effect of the technique. I especially like the friendly snake, they remind me of the calm Aesculapian, that lived in the stonewall next to our house when I was a kid.
"2.5D," haha, that's great!
Wow, it's actually the type of snake from the famous medical staff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesculapian_snake#History
Yes, exactly that snake from the Rod of Asclepius! :) After getting to know one of them personally, I understand why they were chosen as a part of the symbol of healing and medicine. Compared to the other snake species that lived on our land -mostly adders and grass snakes- Aesculapians behave noticeably calmer around humans, don't panic easily and are non aggressive. Because of that, to me as a kid they seemed special and even friendly in a way. At the same time I was afraid of all the other snakes, when I occasionally met them on my way home from school. That was despite the fact that Aeskulaps grow to a much bigger size than the other snakes in that biome. An old village lady told me then that you can even tame them by placing a saucer of milk on the veranda and sitting a little closer to the feeding snake every evening. I never even considered doing that though, had way too much respect for the animal.
The English wiki article on them is quite interesting.
Wow, I was just re-reading old comments just now, and yours is fascinating, above... about the snakes!
I'm somewhat disappointed in how I answered at the time, altho in my defense, I think I was trying to madly create 'one post per day' at the time. :S
It kind of fucked with my mind.
Not your problem of course, but...
Your comment was simply what went trough your mind in that moment, nothing wrong with it and for sure nothing important enough to fuck with your mind.
