Containment Random Chris Updates

[The Fool]

It's like there's a very small bank of information floating around in Chris' brain, there's no room for anything so complex as a circular body or a rounder head. Sure, the basic pose still exists, but has been completely reinterpreted through Chris' broken mind. All nuance completely lost in visual translation.

Rather it looks to me that Chris seems really obsessed with Sonic's modern design and doesn't seem to be too keen on his older, rounder design. He probably doesn't think the old design is "radical" enough. Plus it's the only style he's been drawing Sonic/Sonichu in so he's probably used to it.

Although I totally agree with the aspect and point of view of everything, Chris really has issues with depth and poses.

 

[The Dude]

I really don't think that's traced, just copied. He didn't literally draw overtop of the original material.

The Sonic cartoon has a lot of beautifully simple shapes, and there's really no trace of them in Chris' artwork. Below is a really good example of this, and it's a really fascinating plunge in how Chris' mind processes/digests visual information. Sonic's spherical body is warped into a triangular abomination, the dynamic upwards tilted head of Sonic is stretched into a vacant blue blob, and so on. If he had simply traced over the artwork, these basic shapes would have persisted into Chris' own art; however, because it's copied, you can see how Chris' brain twists and distorts the information presented on screen - to paper.

It's fascinating, really, and it's a great illustration of how he re-interprets the world around him.

That, or Chris is just so bad at art that he can't make it look halfway decent, even when he traces.

The hilarious thing about characters like Sonic, MLP, etc. is that they are specifically designed to be simple so that little children can draw them. And Chris, a nearly-40 year old, can't even handle their design.

I think the most off putting thing about this particular frame is the tumor on the back of his head.
Reminds me of what Hotdiggidydemon said about the sonic movie and his spikes in the film.

The way he’s positioned makes it seem less like he’s going fast to the extreme and more like he’s trying to do the Michael Jackson tilt.

Since I don't use/monitor social media I never thought I'd have a Random Chris Update to post, but...I do!

Chris played Pokemon Go yesterday for the first time in many months. There was an in-game event yesterday (though I'm not sure if that was the time period he played in.) Still, I wonder if it was a fluke or if he's going to start playing regularly again

I'm surprised 3GI wanted Chris to be in the project after the shrek one.

Chris: Here is the drawings
Editor: I'm better off not taking credit for this.
Chris: woahly shit. Sonichu moves. It's magic.

I think they still wanted Chris because the retold videos are pretty much just elaborate memes and Chris Chan fits because he is a meme.

What do you think the next project they'll make? Probably Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

I consider both roughly the same.
Both methods require the copier trying to replicate the original to the best of their abilities.

I took the same shot and for the hell of it I traced one image. The other one, my pen was tracing exactly what my eyes were seeing.

The two are just different ways to half ass your drawings. Each one you're still fixated on the source image just as much as the lines you're producing.
For that matter, at what point does 'tracing' quit being 'tracing'?

Above I traced the image twice but instead of tracing over the existing lines, I shift the focus of my lines to the left a little in the first image and further in the second.
So would this be tracing or copying?

This is my favorite part, it looks less like an explosion and more like the whopporito on Christine's G-String.

Some of the animation is pretty decent, and I'm glad they didn't give Chris such a prominent role to screw up this time.
I bet Chris was like, "And I want Sonic to turn into Sonichu", and they where like, "Whatever, 95% of our views will come from that anyway". I bet Chris was pissed because he couldn't voice Sara.

I simply consider tracing to be literally drawing over another person's art. Copying is just replicating another person's artwork.

You're clearly a skilled artist, the mileage that you get out of tracing is going to be far less than someone without your talent. Whether or not you copy an artwork or you trace over it makes little difference in your case. With Chris, however, because he has the artistic skill of a 5 yearold, the difference between whether he traces something or if he compies something will be night and day. This is because he lacks an understanding of basic art fundamentals, he doesn't understand how shapes or perspective work, and so his drawings end up looking like warped abominations of the original artwork.

People with drawing/art experience arguing about the slim differences between tracing/copying is a universe away from someone who draws like a left handed caveman.

More of Chris reminiscing about his past and demands to turn one of his nonsense words into a “meme”.

I'll just slide in right here before this age-old debate that pops up every now & then, takes wing & fills up 10 more pages of speculation by tomorrow & say:

Both camps are equally plausible, & equally doubtful.

If he traced: hey wow that looks remarkably similar to this other pre-existing example & yet even with the work already done for him, he STILL managed to egregiously fuck it up. Also it looks like lazy zero-effort trash.

If he didn't trace: hey wow that must have been exhausting for him to do a few freehand doodles. Where does he find the time & energy with his fulfilling & demanding life. Also it looks like lazy zero-effort trash.

That's about the level of humor I would expect Chris to love. Some fat retard dancing around in a stupid outfit and screaming in a high-pitched voice.

I like that Chris, by watching those YouTube documentaries, is becoming a Christorian. Next thing you know he'll have some shitty elaborate trolling plan that will somehow fail.

Chris will never fail at trolling Chris. It's what he's best at.

Chris talking about Geno's documentary series has been kinda surreal to me. It's almost as if he doesn't remember any of his past and has to rely on someone else to tell him what happened.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

I never really understood the “Chris doesn’t remember his past” belief.

Ever since he first became widespread, all he did was showcase his past with old photos of the family, his Sonic Contest 1994 win, insisting he was on Honor Roll, etc.

Chris wasn’t even aware of how much he was being fucked with during the years the doc has covered so far. IIRC he vehemently refused to read the CWCki because he considered it troll propaganda and barely rewatched his own vids (which is why he never feels the need to do a second take, unless someone commands him to). Chris has this huge problem where he remembers past events based on how he felt emotionally rather than what was actually going on.

Also, I think he’s just trying to convince himself and everyone who follows him that “EETS DA’ OHLD CHRIS” and that his current self is a completely separate entity from his dang dirty ol’ male form. He can handle being a laughingstock, but only because it no longer applies to his CPU Goddess image.

Chris is just a narcissist who loves to talk about his life, and as such he enjoys it even more when someone else is talking about it. It makes him feel like the exceptional individual he is.
