 Hello and welcome to today's free art show. My name is Kim Dias Holm or also called Den Unger Herr Holm. I create art for free use so you can download my art, you can copy it, you can print it, you can send it to your grandmother, you can even tattoo it or sell it as long as you credit my name. With me in the studio today we have my son Esteban. Yeah, hello! Who needs to stop watching YouTube shorts? I'm not watching YouTube shorts, it's ants that have just become YouTube shorts. Oh, okay, so Esteban will be monitoring our chat? Yes, I'm going to hack our chat. Hack the chat, hack the chat. Hashtag hack the chat. Don't hashtag hack the chat, no, don't do that. How many, we have five people. Five people, okay. Hey, famous. Yeah, just because you said that we now have three people. Yeah! It'll be okay because the point is not how many people who are watching or where they're from, but that we get to do some art that we can put up for free use. And now your friend is calling you. Wait, I have to take this. This is a very professional start, very professional. That's what you get for trying to use local child labor. Okay, shall we get started? I thought we would start today as we did the last time by doing a daily ink monster and letting you guys decide how the ink monster will turn out. Hello to everyone watching and how shall I make my first ink monster? Shall I make it in color or in black and white? Or any ideas? Color. Okay, which color? Hi, which color? You can't just say color, make it in color. The color of color. That's no good. Blue. Okay, let's do a blue ink monster. Are you going to be chatting with your friends, my loyal assistant? Or are you going to be drawing along? I will be drawing. You will be drawing. Hi Esteban. Hey. Your friends are watching. Who's there with me? Today, I have my 11 year old son, Esteban, with me who will be reading the chat and hopefully not chatting with his friends. Hello. Okay, let's do the first ink monster. We'll do a little drop of blue and we'll give Esteban a little drop of blue. Are we going to dab it? Are we going to blow it? How are we going to make our ink blood? And while you guys figure that out, why not tell me where you're watching from? I have a little problem. I just had a little problem when my friend was watching it. Blow. And I just got a heart attack. You got... I'm just going to say, hey, Esteban, I know you live at 503 786 Street in Germany or something. Don't dox us. Okay, blow, blow, blow. It's with my concern. Yeah, this is your brush, not pencil, brush. And you need to blow on your ink blood as well. Do you guys see anything in this shape? Do a wolf. And we have viewers from Lithuania, from USA, South Africa, Hungary, a fish. You see a fish? Shall we make a fish monster? Oh, yours will be a fantastic monster. Look at Esteban's ink blood. Much cooler than mine. Ohio. Someone's coming to Ohio. But I think this will be a good fish monster. So first, I'm going to continue working with the blue. And you can too, if you want. And then we're going to switch to some black line art afterwards. But I want to do a silly fish. Okay. What are you going to do, Esteban? Are you going to do a fish as well? I don't care what you said. My two brain cells are not communicating. You need your two brain cells to communicate. Yes. It's going to be a happy fish. Yeah. It's not like a monster fish to this time. It's just a fish. It's just a fish. Just a fish. Just a fish. Just a fish and ships. Yeah. Mine is going to be very cute. Slap those brain cells together. No, thank you. I looked at Esteban's fish. Yes. The best fish that has ever existed. Settle down, boy. Settle down. 70 is the number you need. 70 is the number you need. Where did you get this theory of 70 being the famous number? 77. So 70 just fits in? Ooh. Hi, chat. Ohio. Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish. Which I love to draw and learn quite miles. I'm sorry. He sounded like Kratos. Settle down, boy. I was trying to channel my inner Kratos. I completed God of War Ragnarok for a few weeks ago. Oh, we got a super chat. My son's name is Pickel. Can you read the super chat for us, Esteban? My son's name is Pickel. Is Pickel. Could you draw a Pickel monster next? I have a plan for the next monster, because I'm going to do a request that I actually got last week that we're going to do this week. If we have a time for a third monster, I will do a Pickel monster. Is that a deal? Because a Pickel monster sounds great. No, it doesn't. No, it's a bit of a Pickel. It's a Pickel. That sounds great. But a monster with a Pickel. We are weird. We're not weird. It's everyone else that's weird. That fish has a give-your-shot draw line. Not on a line. Yeah. That's true. Very chat draw line. Draw line. Draw line. Your draw line is a draw line. It's not a draw line. It's an ink line. Yeah, it's on an ink line. It's a paint line. It's a paint line. Do you know what an ink line is? Bucket. I'm declining that. I'm declining that answer. Now, Esteban has the good brush and my brush just keeps splitting. But that's because you don't know how to use it. Look at this. But that's because you don't know how to use it. You don't know how to use it. You just put it down on the art. I said art told in English. You just put it down on the paper and draw with it. I liked it better when you put your pencil down on the arc. Noah's arc. The Norwegian arc. Noah's arc versus Norwegian arc. Noah's arc by it. What? That's a bookshop. I'm making Norwegian bookshop jokes because they are a hit among my international audience. Yes. All over the world. Love Norwegian dad bookshop jokes. Can I begin drawing with ink? Yes. I've already begun drawing with ink. No, I haven't. I just think something here. Something here. I've just been tapping here. To quote the good book, draw what I will shall be the whole of the law. Is that a good book? No, that's not the good book. Is that a bad book? People who like the good book think it's a bad book. It's an okay book. Yes, I came for the Norwegian bookshop jokes, not the drawings. See? Yes, see. What shall we call this fishy? Yours is a flounder. Flounder? I don't know what a flounder is. It's a flatfish. Flounder. Flounder, flatfish. Flounder, flatfish, yes. Hish. We call him Hish the fish. And which number is this? This is number... 1,200... and 1,264. 1,264 daily ink monsters. The... This is the second I made. No, you made more. Last week. Yes, but I made one daily ink monster. Oh, yeah. Hish the fish. I liked Hish the fish. So, last week we put up both the drawings up on my online store the day after for $200 each. One of them sold. The other is still available until tomorrow. Which one was sold? Shogot on a leash sold. Did mine sold? No, yours wasn't available for sale. Do you feel cheated? Yes. We could... I work so hard and I don't get anything. You get experience, boy. No, I don't. Dad! No, I don't. Man! I get experience. Unpaid child labour, thank you. It was just unpaid labour. But I think that this week we will be putting up my ink monsters on the store tomorrow. I think we're going to put this up for $150 and the next up for $200 and they will be up for a week. I mean, five cents. $50. Charlie, do you want to show it to the audience? Yes. Here is Esteban's flounder. No, it's a flindre. Shiny flindre. No, it's not shiny. It's shiny. No, it's shinny. It's shiny. It's shiny flindre. Okay, now we're getting to the next part of... I don't think. Touch ink. Reach out and touch ink. Don't mess with my brush. What? You put it down in the water with... You dropped it. Yes. Don't never do that. Are you not supposed to... You're not supposed to do that. Sorry. Can I do a green one? I can't do a green one right now because now I'm going to do a request and if you have more requests for next week then please do comment on this video after it's done or comment on some of my other videos. I read most of the comments so I will see your request. But I will also fail to remember who requested the request because I didn't write that down but last week we had someone requesting that I draw a golem. Golem, golem, golem. Golem? Not golem, the golem. The golem. Golem, like the iron golem from Minecraft. Like the iron golem from Minecraft. Just not iron. Do you know what a golem is? Yes. Okay, can you explain? I'm made of stone and sometimes iron and if you build three blocks up in the air you can hit it with an axe created to get its iron. Okay, so a golem, not golem from the Lord of the Rings, but a golem is a mythological automata or a creature from Jewish mythology and folklore. So do you know how man was created in Judaism? Okay, you know how man was created in the Bible? Because the Torah of Judaism is basically the same as the Old Testament of the Bible. So how was man created in the Bible? By God. By God and how did he do it? He found two logs in a river. No. And one of his brothers gave it the ability to move. One other gave it the ability to think and one other gave it the ability to live. Now that's Norse mythology. Slightly different. Let me tell you, I am just starting. Okay, so in the Genesis in the Bible God creates Adam the first man from a lump of clay. But Adam first becomes properly living when God breeds... I've started. I haven't started. Do start. You can draw your golem. Okay. So God breeds life. Can it be inspired by an iron golem? You can do whatever golem you want. Okay. So God breeds life into Adam and then Adam can think and speak like God. But according to some Jewish folklore Adam actually existed for 12 hours before God breathed life into him and then he existed as a golem. And after that some special Jewish rabbis and wise men and sorcerers basically like our priests are sorcerers. Dr. Strange sorcerers supreme. Yes. Can create a golem out of clay or sometimes also other material by making the human shape which can be very... it can look almost completely like a normal human or it can look monstrous and clay-like and by writing the name, the secret name of God in their forehead or some other place and then writing a word on their... I think on their mouth or on their tongue or something they give them life. But because they are not God they can't really give them a voice or thoughts. So the golem is typically silent and can't speak and can only obey commands. Now the most famous golem is the golem of Prague. What about the Minecraft golem? The second most famous golem is the golem of Prague after the iron golem of Minecraft. Now that's an awful thing to say because the golem of Prague is very famous. Do you know what Prague is? But 200 million people know what an iron golem is. Okay, you got a point there. And even more like 250 million just not all of the people that I watch Minecraft videos have Minecraft. So many! Yeah, many people know what a golem is. An iron golem. But the golem of Prague was... that's a Jewish folklore story probably from the... around year 1800, 1850 or something but it's set in Prague in Norwegian in the... Your son is so smart. That is why I think it's smart to interrupt him. It's not smart to interrupt me. Boy! Jinx! I know Prague, not Minecraft. I don't know what Prague is. Prague is the capital of Czechia. What Czechia? Czechoslovak... Czechia? It's a country in Europe. I thought you said Czechia. No. So in the... the fairy tale or the folklore is set in the... around year 1600. And a rabbi called Rabbi Löw Judah Ben... No, Judah Löw, Ben Belazar or something like that. Jewish names. Interrupting child. Go, yeah! So... he... in order to protect the Jews from either... we have to step a little bit back here. Son, do you know about anti-Semitism? Anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is this racist idea that a lot of Europeans have had and others that Jewish people are bad and that they sacrifice your children to Satan and stuff like that. Hello! I think there's someone outside. Probably your little brother. Hello! It's probably a golem. It's probably a golem coming to stop you from interrupting me. Boy! I'm sorry, I saw someone... something moving up in my house and what... Is he going up or down? He's going up. Shall we continue? Yes. So... the Jews have been a people without a home for a long time because they were expelled from their homeland. Yes. And when they got to Europe they've been in Europe for like 2,000 years or 1,500 years. They got a lot of stereotypes and racist things from against them because in the Bible they were interpreted as the killers of Christ. And then people for hundreds of years have routinely tried to do pogroms which is the... basically going around killing Jews. Isn't Christ like saying don't kill anyone? Yes, Christ did say don't kill anyone. I think that's a quote. Christ, don't kill anyone. But Christians are not worried too much about that part. So there has been pogroms all through the centuries in Europe and in the last century the World War... the Second World War Hitler and the Nazis tried to exterminate the Jews. A evolution of that awful anti-Semitic tradition. Now, the fairy tale of the Golem of Prague says that the... I think it was Rudolf II, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire wanted to either expel or I'm keating you something, boy. He... can I... What? Nothing. Can I show them your phone? Yes. Oh my, nothing just check it into my phone. There's my phone. No. So if you like this lovely banter you can go back. Yes. Say goodbye to the chat. Esteban was at a youth club and came home because he wanted to go streaming with me, but he found out that it was boring when I was talking so much about boring stuff. So let's continue talking about the boring stuff. So the Jewish fairy tale is set in year... around year 1600 and the emperor, Rudolf II is planning to either kill or expel the Jews. So Rabbi Louis I don't know how you pronounce it creates a Golem and has the... Now the Golem can't speak but he still has the Golem investigate the murders of people, murders that are blamed on the Jews because of these ideas of blood libel and so basically the Golem goes around I think the Golem's name is Joseph or something and the Golem goes around solving crimes and resurrecting someone and doing all kinds of good things to protect the Jews of the ghetto of Prague. But every sabbat Rabbi Loeb has to basically remove the word from the Golem that makes the Golem able to walk around and so that the Golem also will respect the sabbat and not solve crimes on the sabbat but one day and there are a couple of different versions of this some versions where the Golem falls in love and somewhere it just grows bigger and more menacing but in this version Rabbi Loeb gets drunk and forgets to erase the word from the Golem so that the Golem is not turned off at the sabbat and then all hell breaks loose and the Golem goes berserk in the ghetto of Prague and finally is destroyed or contained and hidden in some synagogue in Prague where it is to this day of course so that's basically the gist of the fairytale of the Golem of Prague now Rabbi Loeb was a real person and there might be elements that are of elements that are remembering things that might have happened Joseph Golem PI yes but most likely the whole story is based on or invented either by authors or as a folk story in the around year 1800 or something like that so it's not as old as it's claimed to be the Golems are as old the Golems are ideas of the Golems are as old as you know at least a thousand or more years old I you know what I'm going to do something that I normally don't do on these slides because I try to finish all my art but I'm going to start this one anew at the beginning I'm not terribly happy with it so I'm going to start it anew and make a better Golem Betty bought a better Betty bought a bit of Golem but the bit of Golem Betty bought was bitter so Betty bought a better bit of Golems to make the bitter bit of Golem better as they say I'm going to do it more menacing simpler no we're going to start again one more time because I have a second camera to film these so we'll start the third time why did Betty bite a bit of Golem to find it was better never bite the Golem bro what what so if you like watching the stream and want to support the creation of more free art then please support by giving a Super Chat or by going to my Patreon and supporting with one dollar a month and if you have any questions about Golems or about art or anything else that I can talk about while drawing I will try my best you should do more streams I am planning to do more streams I'm planning to do a lot of morning streams and these weekly these weekly free art show streams this Golem is already better than the last one mythology is not something I studied in school because I didn't really study much in school I am a very unschooled individual I have very little schooling I absolutely hated school and I didn't learn much so I didn't learn much about mythology and also mythology learning courses or classes in new region primary school were really really bad so there are a lot of are you still in Norway I am in Norway yes I was waiting for a previous one to look better with trust the process but sometimes it is better to restart yes and I have a pretty good feeling for when it is better to restart because that is what you get with experience you get a better feeling for when it is worth pursuing and when it is worth just giving up and trying again and cutting your losses I just saw whatever the drawing was turning into it wasn't turning into what I wanted so then it is it is not worth pursuing earlier in my career I would have much more of a problem with knowing a drawing wasn't really working still completing it before I realized that oh no I should have just quit it a long time ago and the reason for that is of course that you know you put time into it and you think that the time will be misspent if you don't complete it that's backwards way of thinking I can't seem to make things correctly with my imagination any tips yes so the ink monsters first of all quit thinking you should do anything correctly correctly doesn't really exist you should try to do good or try to do better sometimes doing better is a process of doing worse a lot of times until you do better so you shouldn't really pursue doing anything correctly especially when we're talking about fantasy and you know creating things from your imagination then if you feel like you have a bad imagination and you sort of can't get it to work then you should first of all the ink monsters I do are a good imagination and creativity exercise but you won't really get a good imagination you will be better at using the imagination you have from these exercises but it's not really going to teach you imagination so what I would do would be to study real things to learn how to draw animals and humans and everything like that and boats and mountains and bacteria draw from a lot from reference and then start putting things together and then you're building up a vocabulary of things that you can things that you can use in your imagination or with your imagination afterwards so you're building out a sort of a library of things you can imagine and draw and reference, reference, reference so we all need to use a lot of reference do you know second thought and if yes do you have an opinion about this content I've seen a few second thought videos that I liked seems to have decent grasp of theory and of events and I don't know enough about their content to actually say something meaningful I've seen a couple of videos that I liked I'm struggling to remember which it was I think I saw one about how to be a socialist in 2023 was it and it was got me thinking about things I think I saw some others as well so we're going in with white ink do a few of these highlights to make him a bit rounder so the white I'm using is white acrylic from golden which is fantastic it works so well this is the best birthday present happy birthday what did you think about Hassan or Wausch I've seen I saw a couple of Hassan videos I didn't really like it I think there's an authoritarian streak there that I see in some communists that I don't like I don't think that leads anywhere good but I haven't seen enough and I haven't really seen anything from Wausch I don't know how you pronounce it the little I've seen and the little I heard seems very off-putting to me and that's I am an anarchist and a socialist but I don't really often gravitate towards a lot of anarchist personalities maybe I'm wrong maybe I but from what little I know I've not liked anything from Wausch he looks a little bit too angry want to make him a little bit sadder yeah this is this is helping like this and we'll go in with a little bit of black there but it's really funny because I first proper if you can call it that social media fame was on TikTok and huge part of the audience of a million or so that I got there was not really digging my politics and seeing that I've landed on the right side of YouTube there are two types of anarchists chaos anarchist and community and artist I prefer the latter I don't think a lot of the so-called chaos anarchist what I think you mean by that I would sort of call anarchism for show it's not really about anarchism but it's about trying to be punk and that's not interesting to me although some punks are interesting nothing against punk but that's not the anarchism that I I've been dealing with severe art block the past couple of years and watching your videos has been an inspiration and motivation to create again excellent and you know one of the prime things I use these daily ink monsters for is it's one of my ways of stopping art or not stopping but working through art block I've been trying to read up an anarchy and not really understood it from what I've read about could you maybe give me your take on it yeah so okay first we're going to see if this thank you for a super chat hey star welleson hey so thank you for a super chat let's finish this and then answer the question and then maybe draw a pickle afterwards so let's see if this golem has earned the right to live so a lot of people have have asked why I do the circle on so many drawings and the circle is my appropriation of the sen buddhist symbol called an ensel and the way I use it which is based on the sen buddhist ideas is that I do it or I do it as the last thing on a drawing and I try to do it in one though and it needs to be perfect as it is it needs to just work and it doesn't always work and this is my way of checking with the gods or the spirits or the powers that be if my drawing is has earned the right to live so if the ensel doesn't work very well I will toss away the drawing even though it hurts and I only do it when there is some sort of spiritual significance in the art for me it can be a spiritual theme it can just be something I started thinking about while drawing so it has to be something spiritual and then I put the ensel on to see if the fates or the norns or not norns the fates or the gods the universe allows or approves of the drawing so let's see if the universe approves of this golem if I mess up the ensel I will toss away the drawing that works the gods have approved and it is so scary every time I do the ensel because I don't want to toss away the art and I didn't have to do it today so I'm satisfied with that now this piece will be up tomorrow on my web store now the pickle monster you are observant so let's do a pickle monster let's talk about anarchy and do a pickle monster who do you use for web hosting I don't know who I use I have started a business now with some other people who will take over running the they are building the website they will take over running it they will in a while take over running a lot of my stuff so earlier if you bought art from me you would have to be nagging me for half a year to get me or longer to get me to send you the art because I'm a lousy artist and my depressions sabotage me again and again and I'm lousy at shipping stuff but now I get other people to do it for me so yeah okay let's do a pickle monster okay let's do a pickle monster and talk about anarchy so my way of describing anarchy is that if we look at history there are a few things we tend to like and deem as good and they have some qualities that merge them together that unify them and one of the things we tend to look at as good is when loss get more universal and that doesn't mean that all laws should apply equally to everyone but it means that laws should work from universal principles so that there shouldn't be a different law if you're noble or rich or anything we should treat people the same and examples of that through history is for instance the abolition of slavery women's rights children's rights children's rights all sort of times when people have stood up and said no no no everyone deserves to be treated equal and the other tendency I think we find in history a lot is and like a lot is when power gets when power gets democratized so when we go from having a small source of power like an emperor to a bigger spread of power like in a democracy we tend to like that when people got the right to vote we tend to like that when power gets dispersed so the universalization of laws and the dispersal of power those are most of the things we like in history fall into one or of those two categories and if you follow those two ideas to their logical end you get a system or the goal of a system where everyone is free to do and decide over themselves is free to is maximally free to do what they want without their freedom infringing on other people's freedom and that's anarchy it is trying to make a society where everyone can do as close to what they want as possible without infringing on others' rights isn't anarchy supposed to be peaceful but some started using violence to make their viewpoints more impactful I think that there has been a violent streak in anarchist philosophy and in anarchist movements since before anarchism was made because one of the ideas of anarchism is thank you for the super chat thank you one of the ideas of anarchism is in a lot of other protest movements and political movements you sort of you protest or strike or do something like that in order to get the powers that be to do what you will want but in anarchism there is this idea that you actually can't expect anyone to do what you want so you have to do it yourself so you have to take direct action you have to use mutual aid you can't just strike and hope that the powers that be grant your wishes you have to take direct action for something yourself so the anarchist solution to for instance people starving on the street is not to not to petition politicians for a better homeless shelter or food but to provide a homeless shelter and food my solution to creating better copyright laws is not to petition politicians to do it for me but to actually make my art for free use but when direct action is the way I'm not saying that making art for free use is the same as giving homeless people a shelter but when the philosophy is about direct action then a lot of anarchists have felt that some of those direct actions should be violent and you know anarcho-terrorism I don't really really I'm not saying that violence can never be necessary because obviously it seems to be at times but from my experience from meeting people and talking with people from all sorts of walks of life and all sort of political persuasion people who like violence and use violence tend to get changed by it and I don't really trust the violent tendencies in humans so I think my role as an artist is to advocate for peaceful anarchism for pacifist anarchism that doesn't mean that I will not support for instance the brave fighters in Rojava who are making a functional anarchist society while fighting ISIS and Syria and Turkey and being backstabbed by the United States I absolutely support their fight but my role is always to support peaceful means for whatever that is if that makes sense the further back you go the more violent the anarchists sometimes but the first peaceful anarchism thinker is probably Kropotkin and that's pretty long time ago how would anarchists fit in addressing the climate change yeah so I don't think it is I don't think it is useful to talk about how a idealized or perfect anarchist society would solve the climate crisis because that's so far off that it's not really something that we can do anything except fantasize about but I think that when it comes to when it comes to both the what's it called the green movement and to making direct action solutions for some of the climate problems I think there is already a lot of anarchist philosophy there so we don't really have to think how would anarchism solve climate change but we can watch and see how are anarchists trying to solve climate change pickle monster yes it is the pickle monster I like the mantis like clothes hello the yeah are you coming are you coming my poor son thought it was boring to stream today I don't understand the word trossel why is that a troll and a pickle I think it's a trickle your work is so nice thank you trickle trickle my son and I love this picture so did my explanation of anarchy makes sense of anarchism bread and butter because they're horrible yes and I think as anarchist what we try to do is to support and make direct action that leads towards more justice more democracy and by democracy I don't mean the representative democracies we have today but more direct democracy more more self determination for all people I was very sad to see a lot of the left in Norway become very very very supportive of Putin and Russia when the war in Ukraine started but for me as an anarchist what I did when the war started was I started researching what Ukrainian activists and anarchists said and they said yeah the war again or the fight against the Ukrainian regime or government is over for now now it's the fight against Russia for self determination that's sort of anarchist logic that right now we have to help Ukraine against the imperial power of Russia so then we have to put away the anarchist fight for now and I was very disappointed that some parts of the left here in Norway and all over the world sort of didn't hello I'm from Russia ok can we get the link to your Patreon yes I need to I'll post a link the amount of people in my family advocating against Ukraine is very disheartening to me it is disheartening I think it's disheartening whenever anyone sides with the empire against self determination it doesn't matter if it's Russia and Ukraine or the US and Afghanistan or the Uighurs or Tibet it is self determination is is better than empire to say it mildly I'll be posting the link to my Patreon in the chat now and I will also be posting it in the description of this video and you can go to my about page or my bio page on youtube and all the links it's Patreon.com you also do a streaming schedule I don't have yet but I will try to work against that now next Wednesday there will be no free art show because I will be at the Inferno festival but after that I will be trying for a few weeks at least to do the free art show every Wednesday at the same time Inferno festival is a black battle festival in Oslo so I will be drawing bands while they play and I will be head banging and I will be selling drawings we are making some new prints selling t-shirts and it will be fun I need to just get my back sorted out first as an American I don't like how much we spend on our military but I can't say it hasn't been helpful to Ukraine so that's sort of where my anarchism gets in the way of supporting Ukraine is that I don't know if I think the US meddling is always better than the Russian right now it is better but I don't know if that's the sort of the solution I am very skeptical about the US interfering in any conflict in any other country because of their track record of going in democratizing countries advocate for peace prepare for war Tude that's Tude from God of War I don't think we have any quotes from Tude in mythology almost liberate that oil liberating oil all over the world yeah I think we've done as much as we can today so we will go through the art we made and show it a little bit and then maybe have one final question and I will be I will be also giving you the end talk the end talk will the pickle monster be on your shop for sale yeah so I think that tomorrow I will be putting up these three pieces for sale and they will be staying at my lowest price my lowest prices for the next week and then they will be removed so this one will be $150 and these ones will be $200 each and I will also be putting it up for free use on in my gallery so you can download it in high res and do as the please as you please with it you can even make your own versions you can sell it you can do as long as you say my name is god of war all wrong mythology I would love to talk about god of war as mythology because I think that in the two new Norse mythology games they actually do something very interesting in that they they don't try to retail mythology they try to turn mythology on its head they try to they do a lot of things opposite of what the mythology actually says but at the same time where they're not faithful at all they show a deep love and also understanding of the mythology so for instance when I've played like god of war Assassin's Creed Valhalla they talk a big game about all the research and all the attention to detail and stuff like that but every piece of history and mythology in that game just feels wrong it just feels off it didn't work for me and I did like origins and odyssey but Valhalla just didn't work and a lot of it is that just the tone and how they presented the mythological and the belief it all felt the music was great the combat was decent but it felt hellblade is sacrifice is one of my favourite games but still there the mythology bit feels a bit off and then you have things like the marvel cinematic universe and the Thor which doesn't try to be faithful at all and doesn't really show a deep love or understanding for the mythology either what I really liked about god of war is that they have no illusions about being faithful but still they managed to show a love and affection and an attention to detail that I haven't seen in many games and in many media at all so I like that a lot can a reinterpretation be considered accurate well myths can't be considered accurate either because there were always a lot of different myths and they always conflict with each other and the ones that get written down are not necessarily the true ones or the best ones or anything like that but I do think that you can be you can honour the spirit of something you can reinterpret something while honouring its spirit you can honour the spirit by trying to make something accurate which is what Assassin's Creed Valhalla sort of tried and failed and then you can honour something by not being accurate but by just doing by just showing love which is which is what God of War did and which I think works very well and it is for
