Description "It's over there- right there! Can't you see it?"

Boy, are dreams weird. I mean, my friend mentioned that show once that day, at random, and I dreamed about it. Just how? XD
Anyway, if you haven't guessed it yet, this was inspired by a recent dream of mine. I think my obsession with space has finally found its way into my sleep- most of the dream was about finding a way to a world which only few can see. Heh, I remember dream-me liking the idea (my dreams are usually like movies- I'm an invisible floating head that just stands back and watches), but thought I couldn't use it, because it was already being used by the show. Now that I know it was just a dream, I'm like, yesss.
And, of course, I've already started building a story around it. The girl in the picture was also in the dream, only that she had white/platinum hair. I decided to go with brown for now.
And... wow, an actual background? Yes, people, it happened. I used perspective! Of course, there are still things I'm not satisfied with, but since it's the first background in a while, I won't complain so much. Critiques are always appreciated, though!

Youre  welcome. It's so... Realistic. I think they like it cause you captured that emotion when you look at the sky and you feel so small. It's one of your best drawings yet!!

While I feel like I could've done much better... Guess it's an artist thing though. Thanks a lot again!

Dreams create such beautiful art... Sadly, I don't have them/never remember them. But anyway, this is gorgeous.

Oh, yeah, most of the time I don't remember my dreams either. By the way, read this if you have time: [link] I don't know if any of these things actually work, but I found it pretty interesting. And thank you!

Hello there, new favorite deviation of yours.
Ah, dreams, excellent places to look for inspiration. Especially for story-writing. In fact, did I tell you that the whole concept of the Rebirth Place was actually based on a dream? As well as the Gregory Horror Show But a lot of details had to be changed. And I agree with you on the whole something-gets-mentioned-once-and-suddenly-it's-in-your-dream thing. 
Holy crud-nuggets, a background! Oh, my gosh, get the reporters down here now!

I actually think this is my favourite so far, too.
Oh, definitely, although they can get pretty confusing sometimes XP And no, you didn't, but I do remember you mentioning that the Blind Marionette was inspired by a dream. Was it the same dream? Because I'd definitely like to hear about it. And really? Have you experienced it as well?
*Gasps* Oh, noes, I can't be photographed like this! I'm still in my pajamas! *locks self in room*

Epismatic In reply to Nojida [2015-12-21 18:32:22 +0000 UTC]

Actually, no, not the same dream. The Marionette dream came first. I remember I went into a heart-shaped hole in a cavern shaped like a giant face, and an old woman was holding her and warning people about the effects. The Place dream didn't come until much later, but it was worlds different from the final draft. Well, it seems that way to me at least. Without giving too much away about the actual series, some of the roles were switched. For one thing, I think Nalia may have been a guy, many of the characters present in the Place were either absent or twisted beyond recognition, some GHS characters were there, Horace fed people poison, and Luanna was much more... What's a good word to use here?... Flirtatious? *ahem* And yes, I've experienced that before. 
*photographers run past your door and take pictures of your picture*

Wow, those sound pretty awesome, actually. I especially liked the part with the giant face, I don't know why. And your mind can come up with some pretty weird stuff- I mean, poison-feeding hippos? I'd certainly like to have a dream like that XP
Oh, my goodness- photographers, pictures... I'm sorry, I just have to do this XD [link]

*scribbles in my notes* Giant face becomes canon... eh, somewhere. 
Oh, that's the dumbed-down version of events XD
Of course

Woah.  Gorgeous work!
More on dreams topic, eh? I do doodles based on those all the time too.  I never finish them but man I wish I did so I might have something turn out this cool!

Thank you!  
Yep- for me, they're almost as fascinating as space. And I hope you do finish one sometime, pictures inspired by dreams are always interesting.

You're welcome! ()
Yes, I really ought to.  I think I'll start drawing "the prickly monster" from one of my dreams; he's always intrigued me (well except when he scared me half to death in the dream...).
