Last night I finally got around to watching the matrix revolution, an utter waste of money and demonstrates that an awful lot of money cannot save a movie without any real purpose other than to make lots of money. According to Wiki the Matrix Trilogy grossed worldwide $1.6 billion for a total $300 million production cost. Guess I am in the minority.
I am sure there are many people out there who disagree with me and good luck to them. I just found the movie really boring. Thankfully I was watching it on Sky + so was able to fast forward through much of the movie.
Anyway, the reason why I was able to fast forward through the movie was that I had paused the action to make a couple of sketches of Mr Anderson and agent Smith. They were just a bit of fun and I thought nothing more of them. This morning, however, I had a brainwave or brain fart whichever suits you. What if I used brushes to combine the two sketches? Is that possible? Well the final image below shows the result and I think they work together really well. It has a real comic book feel to it and an interesting expansion as to what I can achieve using the iPad. It does open some interesting questions to exactly how these would be classified are the 'real' art or digital or both. I really don't care I just like the result.
