:iconcirque-des-reves:
Biweekly Challenge: Rebirth
im sorry I have no idea how many points?? (Halfbody 6 pts + simple bg 5?? pts) * 1.2 = 13.2 to red
*Misinterprets theme in the grossest way possible* :iconmingplz: i dont even know wht im doing

tried many variations of him seeing the cirque for the first time [like everyone sensible is doing] but it just didnt feel right. i didn't think khellendros would see his joining the cirque as any sort of rebirth or new beginning, rather a fresh chapter in an old book. after all, his mindset and philosophy haven't changed [yet], and the 'death' of the old hasn't happened. to him, there is no life without death--life is defined by death, life is nurtured by death. in causing death, he is able to live.

can u spot all the cliche symbolism to do with "rebirth" (and death) BD
wish drawing it were as easy as writing it. So many hours wasted on that gd snake :iconlazecryplz:
THE EGG LOOKS RLY GROSS IM SORRY but deadline OTL


:bulletblue: A/N: if u dont like war flashbacks to 8th grade english heres a list of symbols. 
-Eggs (egyptian plover/quail) -- resurrection (christianity), rebirth (judaism), fragility, and innocence. Except broken.
-Snake (egyptian cobra) -- treachery, evil, and death (christianity). power (egypt). biting itself/ouroboros -- immortality/cycle of rebirth (alchemy - egypt/alexandria/greece)
-Spiderweb - Supposed to resemble a caul, associated with birth and divine protection (oh the irony), and also a keffiyah.
-tree branch, nest, etc.
