Description media: paintchat, GIMP

After dreaming about this guy (and waking up very shockedly in the midst of these dreams) two nights in a row, I had little choice but to draw him.
His name is Insomnis Alucinor.
I believe he's a Golem.
His wings are made of things he's found and collected. They cling gently as he walks, like windchimes (Much like Seymour does in the wedding scene )
But, really, what is it?

A quick google search showed some nifty art for that series, but not too easy to find a picture for that race. Do you have a pic?

SunkHeart [2009-01-10 13:29:09 +0000 UTC]

this is my new awesome desktop..

I love how some lonely sad feel is held by the miniature details (his collection and body structure) as though they mark important moments of the character's life story, also his nature and heart-journeying, all surrounded and hidden by the mysterious smoke, invisible for anyone else but himself and the mist-of-light...

there is so much charm in this incompleteness, which could signify both strength and fragility of his soul - the world around him falls apart, but his secret thoughts, beautiful dreams and delicate traits remain untouched.

Oh wow.
Thank you so much for the comment! That was exactly what I was going for.
And now, looking at the fact that I did make this large enough for a wallpaper, and that you aren't the first to use it as such, I've changed its category to match.
Thank you for telling me!

badshoe [2008-11-04 15:38:42 +0000 UTC]

Duuuude.
First of all, I love the concept. How his wings are made up of things he's collected. He looks like a gentle, caring creature who takes pleasure in the simple things & I adore that persona.
Secondly, I like how you portrayed him. He looks a little bit melancholy, but maybe like he's just thinking deeply about something.
I would like to have a conversation with him. He looks like he has the answers to life.

greaterorlessthan In reply to badshoe [2008-11-04 15:47:53 +0000 UTC]

thank you, I'm glad you like him.
And I'm sure he would love to talk to you; he's a very curious sort of creature.

badshoe In reply to greaterorlessthan [2008-11-04 17:05:39 +0000 UTC]

I would actually like to see more of him, if you ever feel so inspired to draw him again. He could even have a whole story behind him. *-* Would you be offended if I asked to maybe do a piece featuring him? >.> Though it's likely I'll get lazy and won't actually do it, I'd love to maybe draw a bit of him. And credit you, of course.

greaterorlessthan In reply to badshoe [2008-11-04 20:51:05 +0000 UTC]
