Description
In the land of madness, the dreamer prays for the dream to end.An old project from Drawing 2, almost two years ago now...the assignment was "Dream of Falling", which we could develop however we wanted. Thus this monstrosity. I fully acknowledge the Lovecraftian influences...but what would an art education be if I didn't get to draw tentacular horrors once in awhile?
The reason this hasn't gotten up here before now is that it truly is monstrous--the paper is extremely thick and about four feet tall. This is actually cropped down somewhat because I had to edit out the cans of vegetables I used to hold down the corners; I've had to store it rolled-up and it won't lay flat anymore. o__o;
But I finally managed to photograph it in all its glory! So enjoy.
Black conte crayon on paper.

VERY nice! i really enjoy how small the figure is compared to all else in the piece (especially the tenticled being). i'm mad about the squiggle lines seen in the dark pointy areas and the hatching around that glowing creature.
the whole thing is wild and gives a sense of movement like an ocean in the middle of a storm!
i love it.

Okay that does it. I know what i have to do now... you'll see.
I think i've mentioned before how much i like this piece. still, though... wow. that conte crayon is darker than my soul! The glowiness around the tentacly-doom is a nice effect. Not sure why it's glowy other than bcuz-u-sez-so, but it makes it look even scarier.
. . . Oh dear. How am i supposed to have nice dreams tonight?

Looks cool. :3
Also looks like a scary thing to fall into.
But also gets me to wonder if someone in the dream would sort of wind up inside it or whatnot or simply wake up the same way they would before colliding with a flat surface...

That's the mystery, isn't it? :3
I wouldn't want to find out. o__o
