I've cropped that little blue sailing ship at the bottom of the canvas to make a wallpaper.

Jesus Christ, you can see he was going to be an unusual artist by the way he focused on that gaping demon butthole.

Edit: the butthole is in the original engraving his painting is based on, so not his own vision, fortunately I guess.

Every single one of those demons is also a chimera and so if you look, there’s a half elephant, half fish in the top left corner. If you look in the top right, there’s like a half fish half horse. So if you look at the gaping demon butthole again, and look at the rest of the features around the gaping opening. You’ll realize that it is the lower half of the creature and it is a sea creature you can see there’s like a coral tentacles thing behind it. It’s just a fish‘s mouth. That does also happen to function as the demon‘s butthole, apparently

You know, that might actually be the demons mouth. There are eyes and whiskers and stuff next to it.

And if that's the case, it would mean the demon's butthole has teeth.

That's just typical 12 year old stuff
