RE: 🎨 Parasite IV - original painting
One of the comments here made me think about this SF story by Roger Zelazny, Jack of Shadows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_of_Shadows
I read it when it came out, there are many interesting ideas for visual rendering in this story. What is not explained well enough in the Wiki is that the denizen of the dark side believe in mechanical things as their supernatural (i.e. a great machine that keeps the world in balance, and needs to be maintained) , opposite the light side where the belief system is based on spiritual powers.
Jack of Shadows
Jack of Shadows is a science fantasy novel by American author Roger Zelazny. According to him, the name of the book (but not the titular character) was an homage to Jack Vance. In his introduction to the novel he mentioned that he tried to capture some of the exotic landscapes that are frequent in Vance's work. Zelazny wrote it in first draft, with no rewrites.
