This is my entry for the Strange Behavior CG Challenge. Hope you guys enjoy it:
Have you ever had the urge to listen to some old tango tunes while
wearing a weird skull costume and wrecking havoc on everything in your
vicinity? Apparently this pour soul did…
I think we’ve all felt this same urge in the past few months – Don’t
try to hide, ‘cause I know you know you’ve felt it!!! Haha - I knew it!
This urge to destroy….to demolish…. to act violently… to tear down… to
kill? Yes, I can tell you exactly when you’ll behave like this – The
next time you sit down in your studio/desk/whatever and are prepared to
create a masterpiece pay close attention to your behavior. Creatively
focused, hand gliding through the piece, colors mixed to perfection -
yet unexpectedly you realize that the wonderfully foreshortened “Da
Vinci-esque” hand that you envisioned is looking more like sharpened
sausage pencils lit from the inside - Suddenly it all hits you. The
rage, the anger! The creative juices stop flowing and are replaced by
adrenaline – savage adrenaline. You grab the red paint and delicately
start stabbing at the painting with all you’ve got and eventually
realize that you’ve wasted 5 hours of your life. Angrily, you kick the
canvas around while bouncing off the walls, and eventually you see a
lovely costume you bought years ago and realize that it fits your
current personality. And guess what? Old Tango music doesn’t sound bad
either! So there it is, what to expect on your next venture into
painting your ultimate vision.
