Ekphrasis challenge!
Details here
Join in the fun!


ekphrasis: (also ecphrasis) noun; the graphic, often dramatic description of a visual work of art. In ancient times it referred to a description of any thing, person, or experience. The word comes from the Greek ek and phrasis, 'out' and 'speak' respectively,
ekphrazein: verb; to proclaim or call an inanimate object by name
from thefreedictioary.com


Rules:
  1. You base your art off of something else already posted, and not something that came before it. Only base it off ONE piece on this list

  2. Alternate between literature and visual art. Just to make it more interesting.

  3. Post a link to the piece you're basing it off of in your deviation's artist's comments. Give the original artist some support.

"...if nothing else..." Evaluation

*~*~*~*~*

That was [...] if nothing else or If nothing else, that was [...]

At first glance, it appears to be a generic insult to something. If nothing else, that was a great exercise.
At second glance, it appears to be a compliment. If nothing else, you're the most ... I've ever met.

And yet, at each of these uses, I feel as if something has been misspoken.


IF (nothing else = true)
THEN {
that was a great exercise
}
ELSE {
that was more than just a great exercise
}


However, there are often things left unsaid that are true. (Also worth noting, in the diagram above, within the ELSE, then phrase could also have read "that was less than just a great exercise").

This phrase is a misunderstanding waiting to happen.

In attempting to provide someone with a compliment, it sounds to them like a veiled insult. This is the worst case scenario. Second worst, naturally, is the reverse: attempting to insult, and the recipient views it as a veiled compliment.

Veiled insults and veiled compliments are dangerous, especially if they are misconceptions of something else.



Please pardon my poor breakdown of the argument. My head, at times, will think in verse, programming code, riddles, limericks, iambs, among other things, occasionally more than one of the above at a time.
