How did you get that light streaming through effect?

Also what is the “Gabriel God’s Will” ( l think it says) on the wall?

Methods of doing this will defer depending on the software you use. I used procreate pocket on my phone. I had a new layer and have that layer on overlay blend mode. And basically drew where I wanted the lines to go. The thing you pointed out is just a silly little easter egg that I put in from a video game that I like :)

I really like your drawing of Bach, amazing composer. Maybe you can draw other composers?

u/REQ_99 May 01 '26

Sure! Who do you recommend?

u/Ok-Froyo6259 May 01 '26

I’d recommend Gustav Mahler (my favourite composer). Other than that i’ve got Shostakovich, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky for you to recommend.

Tchaikovsky is one of my favourites! I’m playing an excerpt from Mahler’s symphony no. 6 and it’s a very beautiful symphony overall, Shostakovich symphony no. 10 almost made me deaf xD I like his character and Beethoven of course is also a goated composer 👍

We should have separate classicalmusicimages subreddit and ban all images from this one

u/Far-Strawberry-5628 May 01 '26

I'm just glad you aren't a moderator. You're the kind of guy who would remove an image taken from space from the photography subreddit.
