A new challenge from Computer Graphics Society. The theme of the challenge is to create a concept based on B-Movies;
"Since the dawn of movies there was always a creepier, scarier, and unintentionally funnier cousin to the big budget blockbusters... the B-Grade Movie.
Cinema screens around the world flickered with startling images of wolfmen, zombies, nuclear-mutated monsters, and bug-eyed aliens with a penchant for probing. The 25th CGChallenge: "Attack of the 50ft CGChallenge" asks you, the artist, to bring these gems back to life, or create your own in their spirit ...." This is my first concept.
My first idea is based on mexican "Luchadores" films.
This type of movies were really popular on the 60's and 70's in Mexico.
Such films were heavily influenced by horror films and the American B movies and the hero was a Mexican wrestling idol of the moment, to ensure box office success. The films were awful, but very funny, reflecting all the folklore of Mexican wrestling at the time. I have great memories of these movies, usually filmed in black and white, where the mad scientist's laboratory was always in dark dungeons, and scientific equipment was lined with aluminum foil and filled with colored lights without ever missing reels of tape.
That's my idea, create a funny image where a masked wrestler fight against demonic forces invoked by vampire women, which are allied with invaders from outer space and all led by a deranged scientist who loves to dig up corpses to form an army of undead.
The hero in his titanic battle will be accompanied by the inevitable and beautiful damsel in distress. Also for the funny and giddy guy, indispensable companion of the hero, and the cop who always asks for help to the indomitable masked wrestler
