All-Dream-Characters.jpg
This was a really cool piece that I did, based around myself and my three persistent dream characters. I don't know exactly what to call this drawing style, cause it's obviously anime inspired, but doesn't look 100% like anime. This is also not 100% purely my dreams, I made some stylistic changes. (Noted) It's too bad I actually am not as good of an artist as I would like to be.
My friend S looked at this picture and told me that my dreams make the best anime ever.
From Right-Left, these people are:
Marcus: A persistent dream character that I first got to know in my AI theft dream (One of my mot memorable dreams, link HERE). After meeting him there, I had several dreams (lucid and non) where he continued to invent and demonstrate new technologies with varying levels of success.
In his right hand is the Terminal Detonator. He gave me the weapon for Christmas. It malfunctioned and failed to detonate. In his left hand is the shrink ray he developed, that unfortunately only causes things to shrink for a limited time before they return to his normal size.
Also, odd thing about his character, when I met him, he seemed much older, like 40-50ish, but as I got to know him and acknowledged that he was a persistent dream character, he became more youthful while retaining the same personality.
Stylistic Changes: Sunglasses rather than regular glasses for added epicness.
[Self]: In my (lucid) dreams, I always have a long black cloak that seems to obscure my features. I was able to look at myself in third person several times from different angles, but never made out my face. My friend Chelsea (another lucid dreamer) once stated that she initiated a shared dreaming experience with me, and got a better look at my character. And that is where the glowing white eyes and spear (Stylistic changes).
After I drew the design myself I realized that it actually looked cool in its own weird way, and decided to add it to the picture.
Lia: My dream guide, and the running longest persistent dream character I've had, literally going back to the first dream that I ever remember having. After I started practicing lucid dreaming, she introduced herself as my dream guide and began teaching me things. Sure what she says might not make sense 90% of the time, but it's not like much of anything that happens in my dreams make sense anyway.
Stylistic changes: Cape, Shorter hair that was easier to draw and looked cooler.
Jack: The least frequently seen DC. Only surfaced in recent years, and actually acted as my dream guide once. I don't really know what he does in my dreams. The swords were not a stylistic change, He carries them around in about 80% of the dreams where I see him. For a short time, I actually referenced him as "swords guy" before actually assigning him a name.
Stylistic changes: Eyepatch.
Though this picture lacks a ton of things that I would have liked to add. I would like to draw separate badges for each dream character (in their environment, rather than generic epic lightning background.) I had a lot of fun with Marcus' weapons and would like to do more of the sci-fi designs in my dreams. I also would like to draw the evil dream character that I have encountered as well. And finally, the Electric Floating Baby Head is probably worthy of its own piece.
