Siegfried

I think adding the black background and using white strokes to offset the darkness was a good choice, instead of deciding to just leave it plain white. It really did add to the chaos and the emotions I could feel from your art, and I was able to go through the same experience you felt while looking at your creations.

Watching the process of your work was pretty amazing. The idea was simple but easy to build off of, but it's cool how you transitioned from a ball of chaotic scribbles to a concrete idea portrayed through chaotic methods, and finally filling in the void/background. I think we both ran into the same problems. Attempting to recreate the effects of paint in a digital medium is so difficult. However, the tone and experience that you put into your recreation definitely gave me insights into the frustration and annoyance you felt while recalling bad memories. It's also pretty cool how you went about experiencing the painting. It's like taking the smaller close ups at the beginning, and then putting it all together to create the entire experience towards the last few minutes of your experience. As for recreating your experience, instead of using Norse mythology, maybe paint an abstraction of what you felt while looking at the painting? You did mention "disappointment/slight anger" and "annoyed" after all. All in all, great work though!
