Description
The Sacred Geometry series continue with The Metatron’s Cube, realized as a kiss between an Angel and a Demon.

Metatron’s Cube, a symbol from sacred geometry, is a complex construct of 13 interconnected circles, believed to encapsulate all universal shapes including the five Platonic Solids. It’s frequently used for protection, harmonizing energies, and driving introspection and personal transformation in certain spiritual practices.

Structure with Canny Control Net

In case you’ve forgotten the premise of this series, it revolves around using historically significant symbols to dictate the composition of the render, with this particular one being guided by Metatron’s Cube.

Division with Regional Prompter

In these visuals, beyond using the symbol to influence the images, I’ve also incorporated a Regional Prompter to segment the canvas, allowing me to individually dictate the angel and demon. This is why I’ve achieved a stark white attire for the angel and a contrasting red and black ensemble for the demon, each boasting uniquely styled wings.

Abstract forms with Shuffle Control Net

The striking abstract pattern observed in the clothing originates from an abstract image I used to shape the visual. As mentioned before, despite using control nets, the text prompts remain the primary influence. So, by leveraging potent color combinations in the text prompts for distinct regions, the colors manage to split right down the middle, while Shuffle applies the abstract form across the entire image.

Regional Prompter Detail

The canvas was symmetrically split into two regions: Region 0 on the left and Region 1 on the right, each receiving distinct text prompts. Here’s a simplified version:

- Region 0: 30yo, British, dirty blond, jock, smooth, angel wings, snow color
- Region 1: 50yo, Italian, thick beard, bodybuilder, hairy, demon wings, red and black
- Base: two men, gay couple, kissing, full body, male focus
- Base Ratio: 0.5

In order for the characters to move around without any restrictions, no pose controls were applied. Thus, their appearances might change based on the regions they occupy on the canvas. For instance, if the demon’s head is situated on the left side, he would be portrayed as young. However, if his face appears on the right, he would be depicted as older and bearded

This dynamic composition becomes even more pronounced when a figure positions himself in the middle, thus dividing his appearance equally, hinting at the impact our companions have on us. This suggests the profound influence our companions have on us. It illustrates how living together can result in adopting each other’s behaviors and habits, whether they’re positive or negative.

Balance and Harmony

From a visual perspective, this series portrays a gay couple sharing an intimate moment. But on a conceptual level, it delves much deeper — it’s an exploration of equilibrium, the contrast between good and evil, the angel versus the rebel, the inherent duality and balance within a relationship, and the equilibrium we maintain with each other and within ourselves.

Do we guide our partners towards the light, or do we lure them to explore the shadows? This dichotomy of light and dark is perpetually in conflict while simultaneously maintaining a harmonious balance.

In some respects, this ongoing polarity of light versus dark is necessary — without light, the depth of darkness remains unseen, and without darkness, the brilliance of light won’t be fully appreciated. Thus, both aspects coexist harmoniously, much like a thriving relationship built upon this equilibrium and harmony.
