Lotus Flower - Blog Posts
Lotus, by Ohara Koson, ca. 1928-1930
Of Flora and Fungi
hey so I know I post a lot of test posts and not enough art but like I had a thought that I wanted to share so like what if gods but flowers?
Just think about it okay? hear me out? there are thousands of flowers and thousands of "godly domain" potentials from concepts to physical facts for example, The Lotus of Strength, The Dandelion of Afterlife, The Lily of the Valley of Celebration. It doesn't even have to relate to their flower meaning
I even had the idea that every flower has a mushroom that is their opposite, like yin and yang, opposites attract The Lotus of Strength and The Chanterelle of Weakness, The Dandelion of Afterlife and The Moss of Presentlife oops moss isn't a mushroom, but it releases spores so I thought it counted enough
There's just so many ideas I had with this concept and I kind of want to extend and invitation to you reading to create your own. Whether that be a flower, mushroom, person, curse, whatever you want!
This is a simple world of fantasy, curses, religions and communities there's no "grand story" to follow, just an existing world where things happen, so anything can.
though of course I already have some things more thoroughly thought out, like how curses work, but unless you want to focus on curses for your fun little project I don't imagine you'll need to know, but if you do, just ask.
Every year, the Art Fight website has a spring event called Sprout Fight. I decided to participate for the first time. It was pretty fun. The prompts I used for this frog drawing were Ribbit and Pond, and I used the Lotus Flower color palette.
The deadline to submit an entry is on May 1st. You can read about it in their latest news post on the website if youβre interested.
