TRYINGBOB.JPG is a very mutated mutilation of a Kai Krause demo scene on the Bryce 2 CD. I mainly was interested to see what the stretched-out twisty thing would look like up close, and thought to toss in a Dobbshead and some randomized new textures at the last minute. I then realized that the image happens to capture the feeling of vertigo that I'm suffering due to this ear infection. I didn't initially mean for the twisty thing to appear to be coming from Dobbs' ear... must have been my subconscious getting all artsy fartsy.

To me, this picture looks like a lot of Fernandinande LeMur's Brycey type scenes, with floating ugly Dobbsheads and nameless "things" set in very thick, oily looking environments composed of Textures from Outer Space.

This one was much blander looking when first rendered. I jacked the contrast UP and the brightness DOWN so it would look more "artistic," the way Nenslo likes. Indeed, I have been trying to take Nenslo's artistical suggestions to heart, because even though he is the most mean and hate-filled of all the Old Gate-Trolls, he is probably almost always right.

This particular picture is pretty meaningless unless you feel like "Bob" looks in this picture, as I happen to this week.

BUT, it probably looks "COOL AS SHIT" if you're "HIGH," and I consider that a perfectly valid criterion for posting a few handfuls of bandwidth full of JPEG.

Many a bad piece of art happens to look "COOL AS SHIT" when you're "HIGH." I suppose the main remaining ethical question is, "But does the presence of BAD psychedelic bulldada art detract from the appreciation and survival of the GOOD psychedelic bulldada art?" And the answer from many may well be, "WHO CARES? NOT I, said the big fat pig."

I'm an impatient bastard, but I don't mind wading through some bad art and spam to get to the good stuff, because the good stuff is SO good! And, there's always the TINY, nearly MICROSCOPIC possibility that somebody else might think the BAD art to be GOOD!
