How much do you believe emotion influences the way we perceive and create art? Can a painting truly convey feelings that the artist never intended, and what does that say about the connection between the artist and the audience?

You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't, not without your help. But you're not helping, AgencyMab. Why is that?

And please revert the Aslan to their proper size. This 8' tall nonsense has to stop

Not sure were you get 8 feet from 2 meters “ The Aslan that has evolved from those beginnings is, like a human, an upright biped averaging two metres in height and 100 kilograms in mass. “ ACS 1 pg 5. 2 meters =10 meters 6’ 7”. The average hight for a human male is 5’9” so an Aslan runs about 10” taller than a human. I think that about the same as in the LBBs

In much of the art, the Aslan are closer to 8' tall rather than 2 meters, like they are described as being. They are listed in various sources as size 6, which is about 8' tall.
 
Assume 170 cm is the average height of an American male in IY -2494. And 188 cm is the 90% percentile, 193 cm the 99% percentile, and 200 cm is the average NBA player. If the Aslan exhibited similar variance as humans -- and who is to say they couldn't have greater variance? -- a 228 cm (7' 6") Aslan would be remarkably big but also the exact sort of individual selected for an Aslan assault infantry (areiale) unit and deployed against the Solomani.

That artwork showing giant Aslan? It's the natural result of millennia of Solomani propaganda and deplorable exaggeration.

Actually, size six is listed as being Aslan sized. I don’t recall seeing it as 8 feet. Do you have a reference to that?
