This came in a nightmare...

[Zeealex]

Okay so, I've been getting nightmares a lot, normally I can't recall them, or they're not really anything 'artworthy'

But this particular creature came in one of them, I was able to remember it vividly, enough to sketch it out and then do a larger version in Photoshop.

long story short, it beat me around and strangled me half to death... lovely!


This is the rough Photoshop concept;


It doesn't look scary enough though, creepy, maybe, but not scary. I'm thinking of modelling it in 3ds at some point.

what do you think?

Looks like a street fighter themed motorcycle helmet to me.

Dreams (or nightmares) can be a great source of inspiration that is you can remember it when you wake up.

Go for it. It may not look scary but you can tweak it enough to scare even the boogieman himself.

You never know. It might be a start of something ...

Not for me.
I retired 6 years ago and most of my nightmares have something to do with going back to work.

Not joking about that.

Hey Zee, how've you been?
Good drawing.

Doesn't it keep you motivate to do something else to keep you away from the "dark side" of going back to work?....

It definitely is for me, to the point I don't consider them nightmares, I wake up with the initial spook, then I feel so happy that I've got some inspiration, especially when I've been in a complete block for several weeks.
Most of the things I do are products of either daydreams, nightmares or an external source of inspiration; I'll look at something or listen to something and get a quick flash of an idea.

I've got some ideas after playing resident evil too late at night. So I'll make some modifications and share the result.

Must've been pretty bad if you had nightmares about it, but hey, it put bread on the table, right?

I've been overall quite good recently, following a huge down period, trying to busy myself as much as possible, got a few projects underway that I'll be sharing soon.
