Dreams, Inspiration, and Hope;

Click to enlarge
I thought I would share how I created this piece with you all, because I think it's interesting and its never happened before. I usually have a hard time finding inspiration for my art. It's kind of weird, right? Once I get it, creating a piece is easy and breezy.

I usually don't remember my dreams, but this one in particular was extremely vivid and I remember what happened to a tee. I met the boy you see in here in my dream, and he was very much real to me. He didn't have a name, and I didn't see his face, but he was there. He found me and came when I was screaming for help. He was special. I didn't care what happened in the dream, because I knew he was there, and that I would be okay. I loved him. Yeah, that sounds weird. I can't really explain it, but I felt as though I had met the one that was just for me. I had met my match. Then I woke up.

I remember waking up after the dream. I sat in my bed reflecting upon what had happened. Who was this boy that I had met? Did he exist in the real world? Would I find him soon? Would I find him in 2 years? 3? 4? Or never... I was heartbroken because I felt as though I would never see him again. I also was overwhelmed with a feeling of hope. I knew that if I just waited and didn't give up, he'd come running and find me again.

Instead of allowing this nameless boy to become lost in my fading memory, I decided to draw. This piece specifically is how I felt when I was waking up from the dream. He was fading away, and I was crying because I didn't want him to leave me. He promised to find me again, and that I shouldn't worry.

This piece was created using Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop. Total time was probably around 4-5 hours from sketching to putting the signature on it.

Fan Art: The Sacred Blacksmith

To my dismay, I found out that one of my favorite animes is being removed from Netflix in 3 days. I spend the majority of today watching the entire series while doing homework then topped it off by doing a fan drawing.

From the Desk of AOK

Ready, set, let's go! AOK is going in my portfolio for college admissions. Yes, those are the originals super glued with poster glue to card stock. Although it was heartbreaking to cut them out, they're going to reach new heights (hopefully!).

Good luck my babies!

New Header;

I thought it was about time for a new header for the blog. That, and I accidentally put 6 fingers on one hand. It was bugging me so much and I had no time to fix it, but I finally did! 

Let's play Slender!



So Nolan and I played Slender, and my dad thought it would be funny to scare us. Sure scared the poop right out of me!
