This is why I have been so quiet. Rendering the texture of these #tentacles is going to take some time ⌚ . This is digital work from a pencil sketch last summer. I probably have a few more weeks until it will be ready to be featured on my site. #carnal #carnalart #faustition #cosmic #faust #sketchbook #EMButler #art #originalart #graphicnovel #spiritofprogress #mephistopheles #elements #mephisto #theblackraven #tonestudy #artcomposition #conceptart #artprocess #artsketch #render #faustfestivalmünchen #toomanyballsintheair #ballsfordaysdoe #tentacleporn (at Midtown - Westport, Kansas City, Missouri)

Faustition comp 2. Continuing the development of these two characters. Her name was decided to be Elsie last drawing and now I decided his will be Wagner of course. No reference used at all, trying to draw from my brian like I did when I was flunking out of high school. 9 by 12 on white paper. #faustition #faust #carnalart #carnal #spiritofprogress #EMButler #graphitedrawing #necromancy #noir #spellcaster #supersluth (at Midtown - Westport, Kansas City, Missouri)

Conceptual "Ecstacy of Faust", unlike the the other sexual/lust concepts of Faust, this one was inspired by the the German poet, Chamisso (1781-1838) where it is truth and knowledge that is the source of Faust's desires, in line with Emanuel Kant's philosophical ideas of the time. Chamisso uses his poem to illustrate Kant's deep philosophic implication that it is truly impossible for human beings to know reality beyond the apparent world. "No spirit good art thou, liar, avaunt! I turn away from thee, I follow HIM. Tis knowledge I desire, wisdom and truth." Musenalmanach 1804. #faustition #faust #carnalart #carnal #spiritofprogress #chamisso #poeticfaust #kant #EMButler (at Midtown - Westport, Kansas City, Missouri)

Continuing to research Faustition and finding inspiration. Last night I studied Friedrich Maximilian von Klinger's, "Faust's Life, Death and Damnation", gemstone of the Storm and Stress movement, and it truly made me shiver. I woke up today and painted this 5 by 7 tribute to the tumult. Next paintings will focus on beauty as I regroup inspiration from the traditional Urfaustbook and begin designing the legend, Helen of Troy. #faustition #faust #carnalart #carnal #EMButler #stormandstress #klinger #historyofmagic #leviathan (at Midtown - Westport, Kansas City, Missouri)
