Description

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.. ).

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.

I don't think the stuff you're typing in the description is crazy babbling that no one cares about. In fact, I quite enjoyed reading about your photos and dreams. I don't have a camera, and people would think I was crazy if I did because I would always be stopping conversations or something so that I could take a picture of a cloud or leaf or bird. Stuff that no one else would find too interesting. As for dreams, I'm always disappointed to wake up because I have these wonderful and fantastical dreams. I usually forget them, anyways. For some reason, trying to remember those dreamscapes makes me unbearably sad...thinking about the impossibility of taking photos of dreams makes me sadder...
