How do we know it was by memory? What if the bear held that person hostage for a very flattering painting
I’ve seen cartoons. That man and that bear were friends
A good theory, but sadly this drawing predates the invention of the pickinick basket by at least 10 years. At least.
Not nearly as dark as I was gonna go.
I assume that chonker was tasty,
I immediately thought this poor artist was in the cave for days, periodically poking his head out, and the bear was still there, just waiting.
They got many close looks at that bear and had nothing to do but draw the thing that would finally kill them when they got desperate enough to make a run for it.
This painting might be like someone writing Jeff on the tile floor in their own blood. Or they became friends like in a Disney movie. I see no middle alternative.
Joking aside, that’s a phenomenal likeness.
For what? Communication is not happening, that’s for sure.
Pantomiming to ask if they take commissions
I mean, they clearly have experience in the furry category.
Not enough feet to be considered a furry artist
This actually made me laugh.
Goes back in time
Bro, awesome bear!
Dude, that’s a cat…
Goes back in time
Plot twist: its a self-portrait
If i came across a bear, i’d sure remember it.
In fact, the word “brown” is the morph of the original word for bear. Whatever humans used for brown was overshadowed long ago by the very experience of bear itself, and the color alone became a prevalent warning against that thing that is the single most terrifying brown in existence.
Well, maybe. There’s also a competing hypothesis that says it’s the other way around, i.e. “bear” is derived from “brown”; the old word for “bear” became taboo, possibly for fear that speaking the beast’s name would summon it. Either way, the fear of bears has certainly left a mark on the Germanic languages.
Orange too. What did those horrible citrus fruits do to our ancestors???
do you know what I think of every time someone uses the phrase “I came across…?”
shooting one’s jizz across something.
There. i said it.
I came across your mom the other day.
If you could see the reality of what you just said, she was a hemiplegic in a wheelchair, she had bed sores, she is now cremated and sprinkled over her parents in a graveyard.
They definitely practiced. Someone taught them. Damn.
Dope
Is banana for scale a thing in lemmy? Maybe it’s bear sized and some cave owner painted his wall with an outline using his natural bear spirograph.
