tARTworld remembrance - 9/11 and more!

Such a vast community as deviantART always strives to preserve grief - and provide hope - whenever a disaster strikes humankind.

As it is almost a decade since 9/11 tragedy, this thread will begin with a showcase of dignifying remebrance art in the honour of 9/11 victims and their motherland:

^ ~uteria4ever provides more individual insight, depicting a future martyr and a future life saver together, before the nightmare took hold.


^very touching, comprehensive and retrospective tribute on ~Oskaija's behalf.


^Hetalia quite often provides a conduit for those seeking to immortalize world changing events, as seen on the example of ~Nuri-ko-tan's piece.

Did we really need a second thread

The first one contained EDF's own workshop that was working towards remembrance - cluttering it with existent and upcoming images would slow their progress. Besides, I was too hasty and made it after a single opinion has been given.

I fucking love this one

EDIT:this is the only one of mine needed

I must admit that finding WTC tribute art on deviantART is surprisingly hard, as seemingly half of it is MS-paint intentional mockery/soapbox speech triggers/et caetera, the rest being chiefly photos. At the same time recent Japanese chain of disasters caused sudden spike in artistic pursuits.

Case of 'make-a-point' - oriented submission:

Latuff's own work doesn't even deserve to be mentioned, yet for the sake of the context...

if i was killed in a terrorist attack, my only hope was to be remembered in a shitty DA picture.

Fanart-Central one-ups deviantART on that field, if this cheers you up:


^artist's commentary:

<as a matter of fact, deviantART itself lacks any 9/11+Sonic art, much to my surprise.

^sample comment:

^artist's description:

^one tear contains towers already engulfed in smoke, other - a plane approaching.

^For the sake of preserving evaluation scale, the image above is the top tier of Fanart-Central's 9/11 memorial artworks.

I'm sure the victims of 9/11 terrorist attacks are looking down on us right now and saying.
"jesus christ! what the fuck is this shit?! oooh i'm so pissed off right now, prepare for another Katrina"

Fuck, all the furry tributes remind me of a Shmorky comic

I'm not American, but these shitty tributes made me rage

I tried to seek similar tribute art within Sheezyart galleries, yet their abominable artwork browser appears to be completely useless.

Back to deviantART we go!


^This piece by a Pikachulover1988 represents a touching superposition of American pride and personal objectives.

Heres what some great people have to say about my tribute.



My account is being bombarded with hate messages right now.

Wait what? You mean if I go out and kill someone and claim they were drawing derogatory art of 9/11 I won't be judged? That's what I got from that last post.

Dragonspetz loved it so much he had to post twice. Nice

I just saw this on ED



HA

What is this, the training grounds on an N64 flight sim

Wasn't original WTC designed as two standalone towers for the same reason, among others? NY already had a 'misdirected flight crashes into building' scenario before the BIG one.

Speaking of planning. . .

Is there official 9/11 flowchart for tribute images? Most of drawings consist of seemingly identical set:

I hate this kind of shit.

Look how DEEP I am, I acknowledged that 9/11 was a tragedy LOL.

I think you'd go well with

1) Star spangled banner
2) towers
3) eagle
4) tears
5) NEVER FORGET
6) OC giving a salute
