I believe “The Orb” is actually a concept that holds a lot of power on these forums.
It’s an idea that can easily spread and is enjoyed. If you look at memes on here right now, you’re constantly being forced to “ponder” (or think about) it, which isn’t even something I’m complaining about.
It can plant itself (at least temporarily) in your mind. Since it’s also associated with so many things (like wizards and fantasies), it can encourage you to think about things in a certain way.
This one doesn’t have the same pull compared to the solid magical orb. This one gives me more my first project in krita feelings rather than Let’s go on a long adventure through the magical world one
