"The Universal Trinity" - Final Image
🕑 Added 2021-04-26 01:11:02 +0000 UTC"The Universal Trinity" is the latest amazing illustration from Omri.
I described some of the meaning behind this image in a previous post. We've also referred to this image as "The Muses" - because when I look at this, and I now have a print of it hanging on the wall over my monitors, it helps me think more deeply about the separate but interconnected nature of the "different" characters in our story.
We have Child Alice, Shadow Alice, and Adult Alice. Different aspects of Alice's personality and psyche - each distinct. Also inseparable.
I study people so that I better understand how to write them. And one thing I've noticed is those who deny important aspects of their personalities tend to criticize those traits when detected in other people. For example, a passive person who denies their innate aggressive tendencies, and portrays themselves as "sugar and rainbows," will be easily triggered by anyone they perceive to be aggressive. But will also use that experience as an opportunity to release their own pent-up aggression - and then blame that release on someone else.
This goes to the universal notion that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only transformed. And that when you deny a type of "energy" in your system, you do not rid yourself of it. You only hide it temporarily and then transform it ... oftentimes into something equally negative.
Be yourself.
Which brings me to the topic of Omri - the artist behind "The Universal Trinity" illustration. One of the things that I really like about Omri, aside from his amazing art talents, is his blunt and honest nature. In a world of people who mask their emotions and meanings, it's refreshing to work with someone who is open and transparent about their feelings and needs. Very happy to have him on our team and bringing his energy to our creative work! He too is an excellent muse!
This week is a LIVE STREAM WEEK. Details on the time/date (the usual) coming soon.

Oohh can this be the art print for May? Love this so much
Interesting concept and view, about personalities. In the game, will the 3 versions also each portray their own character?

That is such a gorgeous art piece! Definitely adding that to my favourite Alice art pieces list from you guys! Can't wait to see it as a print!
Love this so much! Adore this style of buckles on dark Alice's boots especially

As a followup to my last comment, I would also love to hear about any business developments that you can disclose.

Beautiful! This image is absolutely stunning. I can’t recall if this is the first time we’ve ever had a piece showing each Alice together, but if so, this is one heck of a masterpiece to begin with. I too, like JenPMorrigan, am really interested to hear about how the parts of Alice will communicate.
I also like how Shadow Alice seems to draw Adult Alice’s attention (like she is calling out her darker passions [making her blush and have heavy eyelids], while young Alice seems almost to beseech her to turn away, maybe to look into her heart or heal it - while being naive to Shalice as she is being corrupted herself.
What a stunning and beautifully rendered piece of art, Omri! I’m absolutely drawn into all the detail work. I especially like the bleeding/colour leeching roses and how they and parts of Shadow Alice seem to bend towards The Dollmaker like he has his own gravitational pull of corruption. The textures are also deliciously disturbing. The description is also beautifully written and a more poignant truth than most would like to think. As for the livestream, I love a good narrative discussion. I’d specifically like to know more about Radcliffe’s motivation (e.g. why he took the bunny, what he wants/wanted with the orphans [my guess is era approved child labour {possibly making toys}]). I’d also be interested to know what your solution to communications between the Alices are. I really hope I can make it live as it will be my first opportunity to do so.
I love all the extreme detail in this picture. Each area of this art feels like it has so much to it creating a rich environment with a beutiful center piece
Well, this is just gorgeous in the most deeply unsettling way possible. Fantastic art!
