Today is a truly special day... one that has been celebrated for 20 years.
So there was no way I was going to miss it, and I decided to make a short cartoon for you.
Check it here:
My original idea was quite different.
I wanted Hank to find an abandoned box containing Verity.
Verity would then follow him around, which would obviously annoy Hank.
Eventually, their argument would lead to the line:
“If you love me, kill for me.”
Verity would take those words literally, and that's when the killing would begin.
He would slowly turn into a monster, and eventually Hank would become his final target.
I wanted it to look like Verity had actually succeeded in killing Hank,
but shortly afterward, the words “Happy Madness Day” would appear on screen.
Then Verity would suddenly get shot in the head, with Hank sitting on top of him.
Then I came up with a second version.
Everything would play out more or less the same until Hank finally snapped and cut Verity's face off.
He would then proceed to slaughter the entire base.
At the very end, the faceless monster version of Verity would appear, pick up Hank's face, and say:
“That's my face.”
And then he would simply walk away.
This version wasn't fully thought out, though, so I eventually abandoned the idea.
And finally, there's the version I actually made.
Even this one was originally supposed to be much longer.
Verity was supposed to have a few more lines, and I had several additional faces prepared,
but I simply didn't have enough time to finish everything.
In total, I worked on this for about 11 hours. I hope you enjoy this cartoon,
even though it doesn't even last a full minute.
Now, about the music.
This is a track I've been working on for more than two months.
Whether it managed to surpass the Madness Day track I made last year is for you to decide.
