Please Make It Stop

I first came up with the concept for this artwork back during a deep depression in early 2009. I’ve recreated the concept as an artwork about three times since then with what you see here as the third attempt. I think I finally captured the feeling that I was going for way back when. Although it has a specific meaning to me, I think this is one of those artworks that could mean many different things to many different people.

I had to create several renders and render masks to create this artwork (about 12 in all) then combined them all into one scene in Photoshop. The central figure was rendered alone on a plain dark gray background using IDL lighting. The various mouths were also rendered separately then I used masks that I rendered for each one to disembody them all. In Photoshop I used a variety of actions, filters, overlays, and who knows what else to create the final artwork. I honestly lost track of what all I did in postwork to create this!
