   I am further troubled by the glasses of another character depicted at the link (I believe this is "Daddy Pig"), which rest neither on his ears nor his nose. I think I may tomorrow spend a few minutes making a 3D model and a texture for young Peppa, to demonstrate what happens when you try and rotate her. Tags: art, eldritch horrors, work Comments
Rotating Peppa Pig?! I'm expecting some Cthonic non-Euclidean horror, myself. My 3d package doesn't supportnon-Euclidean space. There'll be an air of the shoggoth about her, I expect. Hoggoth?
Ha I was just about to suggest that Peppa Pig is the childrens character equivalent of Cthulian architecture given the strange unworldly angles. The artwork is deliberately aping childrens' art. Children find it hard to deal with the idea that a realistic depiction of something will usually require part of that thing to be obscured. A child's drawing depicts every major feature if the thing - because Peppa has two eyes, they both must be there even though this means they get placed in a bizarrely unnatural place. I would think this would be because children haven't yet gotten the idea that "everybody knows" pigs have two eyes. They think that if you were to draw a pig in profile, showing only one eye, the viewer would assume they were looking at a one-eyed pig. |
