Have you ever read mythology? There's tons of stories of males getting pregnant.

So, this picture is a myth illustration. Great.

And you have a problem with that because...?

But no. I believe it's actually for either a character, or a different storyline. Andraste, however, is a Celtic Goddess.

That's funny how you people try to find someone's problems. What's your business? Are you a psychologist and these problems are your money? Not gonna work.

This is a illustration for a certain fan-character from the game Dragon Age, she is a clearly woman and Andraste is also in-game kind of a prophet. Jesus. Of course this information isn't obvious and requires little research, but people's unwillingness to do it but weird theories is fascinating.

Are you serious?

Games steal from ancient mythology all the time. Usually to the detriment of whatever mythology they "borrowed." Andraste is the name of a Celtic Goddess. If someone wanted to use Her name, cool. The comment about male pregnancy was justified in response to another comment. In mythology, it happens. Pertinent, because, again, Andraste is a Celtic Goddess.

The picture is about certain female character, and about certain subject of the certain game franchise. So what does it do to celtic mylothology (except premeditated or unpremeditated names)? Nothing.
How often do you go to look for guys whose name is "Jesus" and tell them "Omg omg you're Son of God!11"? or somethinglikethis?

Besides which, the first comment in question was actually speaking of humankind. "The female (not sure if she's woman.)"
That can refer to anything, it does not have to be gender-oriented. You, however, MADE it gender-oriented with your comment of "pregnant male."

It can refer to SPECIES.

If this IS game art, then she can be female without being a woman; a human female.

Dem ingrish language.
Anyway, I can tell if she's human female, because DA's elves have long pointed ears. Hair couldn't hide it.

Perhaps you can. But does anyone who does not play the game know that?

Anyone can do researches instead of fabling. It's kinda like asking before googling.

VictoryWept In reply to Inkary [2012-12-16 22:48:44 +0000 UTC]

Which would not make sense in this case, considering as the artist, as previously stated, did not say it was commissioned game-related art. Only that it was a commission.

Obvious troll is obvious. Go back to your bridge.

Inkary In reply to VictoryWept [2012-12-16 22:59:14 +0000 UTC]

So, if she didn't write that this is GAME RELATED art, it makes the art game-unrelated? An excellent conclusion.
Are you out of words or what? Calling someone who didn't even start conversation with you first a troll is surely very smart, especially when this "troll" tried to explain something. I hope you're not gonna lead this to Scandinavian myths.
Also, it's funny that you wrote "Obvious troll is obvious" so-o many posts later ^^

. . .

It is a picture of a pregnant female standing before a statue of Andraste, patron Goddess of the Iceni tribe, a warrior and goddess of victory.

The picture in question bears a caption about a character standing before said statue. Not a word is spoken about it being game art. I replied to your comment about male pregnancy hoping to help you understand that male pregnancy is a recurring theme in many mythologies from many countries and cultures. A relevant statement in that someone else had addressed the topic previously, as well as the fact that there is a statue of one of the Goddesses of my heritage displayed within the picture.

Obviously, I do not play Dragon Age, and the artist said nothing about the work being game art, only that it was a commission.

I honestly do not see why you feel the need to belittle my stance, as I was casually commenting on what seemed to be, to my eyes, a rather uptight comment.

My first comment wasn't about pregnant men in any kind of myth; sir ~Wingsword said (referring to the depicted woman, yes \, i'm sure he was referring to the concrete female) if he doesn't sure either this pregnant woman or man, what cracked me out 'cuz, well, it's obvious it's a female.

Well, if you're curious: the article about "Amaranthine" [link] the picture's title.
Besides, the comissioner comisioned the artist few times before, I will even give you the links [link] [link] [link] or even this [link]
Oh, almost forget, dragon age's Andraste [link] .
So, she's clearly standing against the other Andraste, if you want. And please, don't tell things like f i'm trying "to belittle your point". It feels like you're implying i'm personal attacking you, and this is not true.
