Description
♐Sagittarius♐
The archer star sign finally complete, with pink carnations and an edgy depiction of archery. I initially wanted to be quite literal with the archer concept, but I really wanted to include the arrow into the piece. Nevertheless, hope you guys dig it!

Love this one, she looks fierce. It's funny, I have a friend who's a sagittarius and she looks very similar to this! I see her in the lips, the nose, the hair and the expression

Probably the least interesting of your Horoscope Deity works. Like really, what are these color combinations, these roses? What do they even have to do with any of Sag's personality traits?

I use the sign's color and flower which is purple and carnations. Thanks for looking!

Are you really mad about an artist not adhering to your expectations of the zodiac? Your comment is really shallow, are you a Sag or something? Is the artist not allowed to be original? Oh sorry, it wasn't a half horse archer wielding a bow and arrow with the Sag symbol branded on the rear.

Your comment is shallow since you didn't even understand what I meant. Roses have nothing to do with the Fire element of Sagittarius, light pink is not a Sag's color. Basically, there's nothing that represents a Sag in this picture except for arrows. Not a hint of philosophical mind or adventurous nature of Sagittarius. I'm not saying the picture must have been extremely basic and traditional, but there's a difference between drawing some off-topic stuff and being original yet knowledgeable. I can draw a random girl with arrows and flowers too and call it my vision of Sag, except it would suggest that I have zero knowledge regarding that astrological sign.

I didn't realize that when someone decided to make their own artist interpretation of a zodiac that they had to convey a level of knowledge to keep from getting some toxic comment that. The artist even replied back to you, showing their knowledge of little aspects of the zodiac you can't even seem to deal with apparently. Your original post said "colors"; She used purple which is considered to be Sag's color. Sorry that the artist colored the CARNATIONS that are associated with Sagittarius, a color not to your liking, but that doesn't mean the colors don't harmonize beautifully together. This depiction isn't off-topic. And clearly the artist is more knowledgeable on the subtle aspects of the Sagittarius then you give them credit for. It's a goddess rendition of the sign Sagittarius, clearly doesn't meet some backwards standards of yours.
It doesn't need to fit the mainstream ideology of philosophical mind; Although I see that deep in thought look on her face personally. Because many Sag's don't even exhibit the qualities that you claim are apparently so prevalent in association with that sign. The more commonly associated aspects of Sag's are wannabe-know-it-all's that tend to speak before they think. But again, this artists rendition it completely up to them and doesn't need to live up to any mainstream concepts you clear are expecting.

Light pink isn't fucking purple, go look up Sag's color range. Spoiler alert: it's all dark colors!
Aaand now you just show your own lack of knowledge about astrology, because in individual's birth chart people have several signs, not just one. That's why people may not be a total representation of their Sun sign. Thus people don't matter, because every depiction should be associated with the trivial, text-book characteristics. And I did read the artist's reply, thank you very much for repeating it. I would understand if every zodiac artwork of this artist followed the fashion of showing sign's flower as the FOCAL POINT, but it only happens to be here and on some Earth signs' artworks.

The purple is used in the hair. First of all. And it's dark.
Never once did I refer to anything in regards to people not representing their sun sign. If you're responding to my portion about the negative aspects of the Sagittarius, then your reply is still irrelevant, because I was still speaking to the context of negative aspects of the Sag not being represented here, but I don't see you raging over those aspects not being represented. Considering the things you originally asked for was for the artists render to portray 'personality traits'. Lastly, your "Thus people don't matter, because every depiction should be associated with the trivial, text-book characteristics." Is so shallow minded in general, and even more so to artwork. You expect people to fall in sheep-like line, because of your incorrect belief on a subject matter, that is pretty much up to interpretation: That even you made clear in your quoted sentence.
However, my overall point is this: You can be disappointed in certain things not being included in a piece, that you feel it should have, based off of your own bias. But to add attitude and angst to your original post as if the artwork itself is somehow inherently bad because expectations weren't met? That's just low. As if the colors aren't beautifully put together. As if the woman isn't beautifully drawn and shown as if she's deep in thought. Dark purple hair in representation to the Sag color. Carnations to it's flower. The sign tattooed on her face. Arrow in hand. Sag's fruit; grapes in the hair. There is so much more thought and effort put into this than you give credit for.

Am I not allowed to speak my opinion? Why only compliments are allowed? What attitude are you talking about, we're not in real life to see facial expressions nor hear my intonations to make conclusion on whether I have an attitide. Those are raw thoughts, maybe blunt but with zero attitude. Moreover I'm not coming from your cultural background. Who's shallow after that, huh?
I have just explained why "people don't matter" - it could end up in anyone drawing random things saying it's this and that. It's easy to be random, that's why I always encourage to do some reasearch, hold on the topic. Because it adds DEPTH. Art without meaning and depth is not art. It's not that hard to create pretty things, but it sure is harder to create both pretty and meaningful things. I recognised that while living with someone who copies style, color combinations, poses from others and calls herself "an artist". And hey, her "works" aren't half bad, someone would even say they love the colors and style, lmao. But what her stuff will be forever lacking is depth and meaning.
I'm not a fan of this work, these color combinations. And imo drawing digital pictures isn't real art anyway to deserve my praise. Because of how easy it is to make compared to other forms of art. They will never make it through the history, no one will remember them et cetera. Have fun responding to that, leftie.

I'll try my best to address all the unorganized and off-topic remarks throughout your response.
You have every right to your opinion, just as I am towards you and your commentary. You can ridicule a piece of artwork for neglecting all the most mainstream and trivial aspect all you like and come across as antagonistic (Or a troll) all you want. But that's on you, not the artist. If you don't think your initial (and subsequent) response comes off as catty and short-sighted, then there's not much I can do for you there, you'd need a ego check, which you clearly have a hard time doing. Your a Sag too, I'm assuming right? Philosophical mind? People like that tend to be able to take in both sides of an argument as equals. Something you're lacking.
That being said, I don't know what you're assuming of my 'cultural background' to have anything to do with this conversation - not sure if you're trying to take a stab at whatever you think I am, but it's unrelated to this topic.
Your argument about depth and meaning in the context of this particular piece is still lost on me. This artist clearly put thought and added just as many attributes in the theme as they did with all the other renditions of their zodiac conceptualization: Flower of the Sag, fruit of the Sag, color of the sag, Symbol of the Sag, Arrow of the Sag. This piece has maintained the theme the artist has had throughout their renditions of the zodiac and you believe because it doesn't have an array of whatever you expected the Sagittarius that it some how flops? When it, again, clearly has more thought put into it than the randomness you seem to keep pointing at. Your point of view is simply incorrect, even on an objective level.
However, clearly nothing about this discussion is objective, given your need to bring in unnecessary, personal aspects of yourself. As well as your attempt to point at my political standing (Which your incorrect about) and my "cultural background" - whatever that means.
Addressing your last few sentences; you can go around being as negative as you want. Again, that's on you. Far be it from me to keep you from being the worst version of yourself.

I'm saying I'm not from your cultural background because it's normal for us to blantly speak our mind without formalities like giving compliments if you don't like the pic.
I was replying about attitude because you point that out again and again in every response that I have some sort of rage. So to stop that nonsense I've made myself clear. And no, I'm not a Sag, don't know why you try to gather all that personal info about me in every response yet again. This convo could have gone differently if you weren't attacking my own self in every response. Great psychological analysis based on dA criticism, 1/10.
And about that symbolism, I'll repeat my point one more time. Almost every other sign drawn has some little interesting detailes, for example Aquarious with fish in the hair. Moreover ALL the colors represent that sign, not just hair. What did Sagittarius get? A facial expression, arrows, hair color, and of course the most noticeble focal point - light pink flowers, which should have been less noticeable imo because the color isn't representative and this isn't an Earth sign. That's why this work is the least interesting out of all, it doesn't have much going for it, not many interesting details. I know that flowers are on every canvas of this series, but on Aries for example they're almost hidden and blurry!

What culture are you speaking of that blatantly speaks their mind, without regard for respectful choice of words? Especially in regard to something that is completely based off of subjective opinion.
I'm not trying to gather your personal info. You have a way of trying to twist my words to fit whatever you try to make an argument of in every response. I'm simply trying to figure out why you seemed so offended by the Sagittarius rendition out of all of them. Your posts make it seem very personal. I really hope you can look back at your replies to me and see the instigation of 'attacking my own self' began with you. My initial comment to was directed to your initial posting, not your personal self. It only harbored the same attitude that you gave to the artist. But you on the other hand, decide to make statements like: "you just show your own lack of knowledge about astrology" assuming my defense of this artist has anything to do with my knowledge on the Zodiac - "Have fun responding to that, leftie." assuming my political standpoint for no good reason. My comments only became 'personally oriented' once you made the entirety of the discussion personal in your every reply.
If you're so unsatisfied with what the artist created, again that's one you and its fine to critique artwork in a respectful way, but your initial comment wasn't even that. It was just negative commentary with no substance. No good suggestions or remarks to help improve, just an out-lash... for what reason?To troll? It's not like this was explicit or offensive or even slightly controversial, yet your comment treated it as if it was.
Your nit-picking on the color palette is a pretty weak, and moot, point considering there are so many different sources that say different color schemes for all the signs. At least this artist has the main color in it. I almost want to debate your other points in the case of your negativity on this artwork, but at the end of the day it's all your opinion you're allowed to have and that isn't my main focus of this discussion we're having.
