I have the same type of ” proffesional deformation” 🙂
I might definitely look strange when i stand in front of a wall or a tree and i study it from every angle.
Also everywhere i look i get a idea about a vfx shot and i start to think about it. Couple days ago i was walking through muddy area just take references.
And something from 2d. I learn to draw human figure and guess what. A stranger is looking on everyone in a tram, creating sketch in his head.
Tough life of a artist 🙂
