During the early 90s, The Ren & Stimpy Show alongside many others influenced a lot of the work I produced when I was younger. It's crude humour and grotesque qualities fascinated me as a child. Watching them today, I find it hard to believe I was permitted to view them years ago; as they were hosted on the children's channel, Nickelodeon.
In terms of influence for this and further projects, I find them very useful and nostalgic. My drawings have always adopted this almost surreal nature, and I find it highly appropriate to use this now seeing as I'm creating an animation.
The images above are screenshots from the animated show and depict the two characters, Ren & Stimpy. Ren is a psychotic chihuahua and Stimpy is a dimwitted cat. Both conflict in personality, in turn creating a dark humorous double-act. The show consists of them both getting into various chaotic situations that they try to get out of, through torturous difficulty. These narratives will influence my own for the animation.
