>>8992498well it's a pretty common meme. that's where the stereotype of super hunky gay men and lesbians with poor hygiene comes from. gays need to attract men so they're more likely to take good care of themselves physically because it's hard to find a man if you're ugly while lesbians don't need to worry about it as much because women put far less emphasis on looks
thanks. i'm familiar with that sort of meme and it's sort of what i was trying to emulate, but i think as it stands it looks a little bit too much like a sticker on top of the image than a magical reimagining if that makes sense
now that i think of it i should try adding a border around it all with a bezel and the same pattern to make it look like there's a distinct 3d "edge" while the inside is the mystical looking flowy space. that'd probably work
