Judith Beheading Holofernes was the original co-op campaign.
CW: It’s the brutal Gentileschi everyone loves.
But off topic, Donatello’s statue is my favorite Judith beheading Holofernes.
Many a Judith beheading Holofernes depict the violent and spectacular struggle of Judith in the moment of cutting off the head of a large and strong man or in the satisfaction in her holding the head as it were the trophy of her accomplishment but here Donatello depicts Judith in a position of power and strength as she deems in holy judgement that Holofernes is fit to die.
This work is beautiful. Thank you.
Not a lot of people know this but Vincent van Gogh was a lover of video games. You can see the influence gaming had on his life through out his art.
This influence is especially noticeable in this work, Portret van Sans Undertale

Was thinking this morning about Edward Hopper’s interesting variation on Animal Crossing, Soir Bleu. One of my all time favorites.
And then listening to Mount Eerie just now made me realize how much Nikolai Astrup ripped off Breath of the Wild…
Who can possibly forget the surreal frustration of “The Tyranny of Images” in which René Magritte abstracts the eternal struggle of pressing down on every single green cylinder in Super Mario Brothers only to not be warped elsewhere.
Agnes Martin was famously inspired by Star Citizen for her painting Red Bird.
Joke…Improved
Yes but the controls are bad. I tried every button combination I could think of but I couldn’t make the nude reach the bottom of the stairs.
