This began as an attempt to recreate what I saw when I visited the Loovruh museum in Paris, which was a very odd sight: dorks and morons alike crowding into a huge room full of huge paintings to fixate on one that is very tiny, and make terrible blurry reproductions of the most reproduced and easy-to-acquire-perfect-reproductions-of art works perhaps in history. Somehow it was not odd enough, and things went strange as I was adding details.
So I have fixated on irrelevance to such a degree that it subdues and consumes the original point of what I was doing through overthinking and overworking. It took three times as long as it should have and means nothing, and still looks incomplete enough that I might dump a few more hours into it. Good to know I still got it!
I mean to say that I still have it.
An updehhh from July 4:
In the event you were curious how a decent idea becomes clownish rubbish, look there to see the odd path this took to be “finished!”
One of the figures in the sketch I drew inadvertently kind of looked like Tintin and that was somehow enough to ruin it all. What surprises me now is that I reversed the direction of the battleaxe on the inadvertent tintin figure prior to removing the axe entirely, and that removing it was one of the last things I did.
Also, if you can identity the characters I started to draw in the seventh and eighth slides then you win a schnibble because after momentary reflection I thought no one would be able to.
RSS feed for comments, for they hunger.
This here`s me trackback!
that darn anteater sez:
between the lyrics in the title and Sparkster hanging there in the drawing, I would like to give this a thumbs up.
Heapinfrimp sez:
Life was never harder before those cats appeared. That is the most significant thing which occurs to me when I speak about our fine house, and they aren’t even INSIDE the house.
Anonymous sez:
Taking a picture of artwork doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe if it was a dinosaur skeleton.
I fear Lupin may be there to steal something!
Purplespace sez:
Why am I anonymous? My computer box is supposed to remember things like that because they never make mistakes!
Heapinfrimp sez:
I was concerned that character would not be recognizable! Perhaps you temporarily traded your own identifiability for that power.
PurpleSpace sez:
I see what originally looks to be a patachu and perhaps a couch cat? They are individuals I am less familiar, though I have seen you draw them in the past. However, I am not as certain of the identity of the character hanging from the ceiling before it was changed.
Heapinfrimp sez:
All the initial figures were meant to be generic. It is only at the fifth stage that I completely gave into the idea that took over.
I changed the patachu to a pog because I wanted one of my idiots to be in there, but not enjoying it.
