Let the dragons to dance to keep the Balance of Light and Darkness.
An experimental commission for ~Crysomandiaz I wanted to create something with... dreamy feel. Realistic and unrealistic.
I'm type of person with improved vision- where my vision is in absolute focus. In effect during night time I have so vivid and real dreams that I often to mix my dream world with reality where I happen to mistake events which happened only in dreams with reality in my memory! And sometimes when I wake up, I tend getting slightly depressed because how much I love dream world life... I really wonder if dreams are sort of another world? I believe in that.
Anyway, those dreamy skies with unrealistic "smudgy whooop!" were inspired from my dream.
As I'm obsessive photographer (many of you don't know because I dont post nor talk much about it), I happen to see the most magical, unique and beautiful landscapes and light combinations. I get into "woooah" hype, pull out my camera and take photos. I was so happy that I took such... incredible photos of wonders. Then I wake up, and realize these photos doesn't exist in my memory card. What a bummer.
Or I cant stand when my shutter in camera doesn't work when I want to take most omgfgholymolly photos in dreams. It always happens.
Why I'm obsessed with photos? Because as a vision person, I rely mostly on my sight. My memories are based on visual pictures in my mind and I awake them through pictures. Pictures are also sort of "proof" of your book which tells you about life. Some kind (for me of course) of legacy of what I've done (to myself, for my own sake of my life) and so on. Gah I feel like I'm babbling some bullshit where no one cares... yeah why I type this? Who cares about weird stuff which I typed.... though, I felt to type down because that connects to my painting above. I've been thinking about dreams, visions and my phantoms while painting this.
PS: In case if anyone might ask me or think... no I don't smoke, nor take any drugs or even herbal drugs such like marihuana. I'm a person who is absolutely free of that stuff.... and I've never been drunk in my life (obviously slightly buzz yes). I'm very lucky (yes I treat it as a huge blessing, despite many people find that's uncool, lame and doofus that I don't drink nor get drunk. Some of them make fun of me.) being as a person with absolute no interest in alcohol. I like a beer just only for taste and pinacolada ( *BecSparrow clearly remembers how I have hard time to drink a beer.. ).
td;lr
Really, I'm just babbling about unimportant stuff.
Anyway. The picture is cropped. It's a bit bigger in reality. I'm thinking to do a remake of this one it into much larger scale, with enormous space, massive acrylic painting for myself. Done by watercolors, a bit of pencil and some alcohol drops.
Oh how interesting. I often take Photos in dreams, also it's mostly sky, landscape photography with wonderful lighting. Last time I took one of a wonderful purple sky at noon, I was absolutely crazy about that one... till I woke up. Well it shall not be... or better: We will have to recreate them in the real world.
I think you really captured that "dream-like feel" you were going for. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself and your vision for this piece. If you do the larger scale I can't wait to see it.
I think that what you wrote in there shows your personality, it's not unimportant (: it's always good to see the personality of the artist behind the works and to know random things, you're free to write what you like (: I wouldn't imagine taking awesome photos in my dreams and then waking up without them D: my dreams are quite vivid but not as yours in that way, but I also confuse what I dreamt and what really happened lol sometimes it happens that I tell my sister something that I believe it happened but then I realize I dreamt it xD Yeah I don't drink, smoke or use drugs either, not even the pills for diseases they sell. However I like the taste of some drinks but I don't drink much, just a beer per night every long time, because I don't party often~ and it happens that people tell me that I'm 'too healthy' for that. Well, I prefer to be too healthy than too stupid to drink just for acceptation~
Nice painting!! I like the dragons and the background. I know what you mean about seeing vivid landscapes in one's dreams, and having things happen that you regret realizing did not in fact happen except in the dream world when you wake up. I have seen fantastic landscapes, bizarre creatures, whirling cloud patterns, and who knows what else in dreams.
WOW this is beautiful I totally feel the dreaminess of this picture its so beautiful man if only I could have good dreams like this again that would be awesome obviously the dream angel has not wished to visit me lately.
Ah, I totally understand what you mean about the dreams and the photos! Sometimes I'm the same way, except with music. I'll write an awesome song in my dreams, only to wake up and not remember a single note, and it's such a disappointment.
Well it shall not be... or better: We will have to recreate them in the real world.
Thanks for sharing so much of yourself and your vision for this piece.
