Reply to comment by qurtorco in The Expedition, Me, Pixel Art, 2022 by Toblerone1982

Actually, the first verifiable expedition to the North Pole was completed by Italia's sister ship, the Norge, with no major problems on the way there. (On the way back, a hard landing damaged the keel such that the airship had to be dismantled and shipped back to Italy in boxes, but that's neither here nor there.)

Despite stereotypes, airships were actually much hardier than the planes of the time. Their considerable fuel endurance and excellent low-speed handling made them well-suited for riding out storms, and even hydrogen-filled airships were surprisingly durable.

Again, no art critic and literal zero experience with what means what in art. But my first thoughs seeing it through my eyes are: snake head is covering male genetals and in an artsy way replacing it with female genitals (the finger insertion seems like a big deal to the peice). The body is super realistic, but the nappies are higher and more centred then normal, maybe again leaning towards a females body over a males, but that's the best I can think of. It just doesn't seem like an accident. The second snake entering the mouth has me at a loss, other than a possible oral sex act implication. I do know snakes are commonly known to represent sin. So I'm thinking with all that the "self integrity" is shown in the form of a male wanting to be and act female and needs to have a lot of self integrity to address it with how it is seen by a lot of people, as none else can.
