Description I had a nightmare, and in it I was Esmeralda. I was stuck in mud and struggling to run away from a familiar shadow who was hunting me...

This marks the first time I have drawn Disney Frollo (excluding stupid toons for uni margins). He has a very interesting face for sure.

Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I hope you weren't too shaken by the dream. On the bright side, you have produced this amazing art work from your distress.

From all the comments on this pic, I think Frollo's a bit of a Freddy Kreuger, he seems to be in everyones dreams sooner or later!

Oh shit! If it's not mud I hate, it's swamp scum or water. Being trapped underwater is frightening enough.

But sticky, black, mud is also not good...

Nice colours used there..Do you remember how it ended? Or did you wake up before it could conclude?

Augh, mud is terrible! The sinking feelings, and not being able to run away as it pulls you down.

Frollo had just discovered me, and as soon as I saw the dagger, I had like a brain overload and woke up. Knowing my dreams, but, if it continued, it probably would have turned into porn. My dreams have a tendency of always ending up cheesy and bow chicka bow wow.

Awww cutey dog for a goat, lol.

I love the adrenaline rush in dreams like that. Unless it's freaky fear adrenaline. But when it's just so intense and vivid it's really, really cool.

GoregeousJUNKIE In reply to quotidia [2010-11-29 23:20:00 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes I'm okay with fear adrenaline rush. Such as I had so many dreams with him that I have lost count. It's crazy dude, I even fear him and think he is lurking in the shadows when I walk home at night. I'm like his sister who he wants to kill. But for some reason, even when I'm scared shitless, I love the rush Buuuuuut I would just like it only as a dream instead of real like That would suuuuck if it were real life.

I once dreamt that he was my boyfriend, and was killing people out of misguided protectiveness. I've read reviews of Halloween that explain how you can see that the fear of adulthood and intimacy are played out by Myers, who represents the unknown trauma of puberty and sex (the knife kills being metaphors for intercourse). That Laurie, a virgin, was terrified of dating and sex - Myers represented a twisted array fear associated with both (stalking, rape (being stabbed), etc).

The dream wasn't so much scary, as just a weird;y vivid rush. I agree totally that in dreams you can experience any emotion and violence in a positive way, while you'd never want it to happen in real life. Dreams are wicked cool like that.

Oh, whoa! That is quite scary! I have had quite some really strange dreams with Frollo as well. Channeling him for roleplay on a Disney website really tends to mess with your mind at times.

quotidia In reply to ChristineFrollophile [2010-11-29 21:53:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, I can imagine so. I always get so deeply inside the heads of the characters I roleplay, and I have roleplayed similar characters to book Frollo... but Disney Frollo unnerves me so much more.

ChristineFrollophile In reply to quotidia [2010-11-30 16:16:09 +0000 UTC]

I don't know what it is, but I just love Disney Frollo deeply. Definitely Hellfire is a big reason for that because it shows his human side. I also just love the look of him. Even tho they made him older than the book version I love that he has a fuller head of hair than his book counterpart. And let's face it, that deep voice could melt butter! Tony Jay for the WIN!

Nice illustration of your nightmare . I gotta say I had a Frollo nightmare too, I was Esmeralda, only I fought him off and then got arrested for it, but my friend bailed me out xD.
I like the last panel, it's very dark. And what is this mud - it looks like there's blood in it? It adds to the nightmare feel.

OMG, that would be TERRIFYING!

I once had a dream with Frollo in it. Not a nightmare, but one of those really weird dreams where nothing made sense, and when I woke up my first thought was "WTF?"

But, woo, this is quite a creepy, powerful piece . . .

Moyayuki In reply to quotidia [2010-11-29 14:23:06 +0000 UTC]

Frollo approached me and my family in a hotel and wanted to speak with me in private. I was gonna plan on killing him with chalk or something, then I realized I had to use the bathroom, and spent the rest of the dream trying to find the bathroom with a real-life friend of mine. When I woke up, I had to use the bathroom. WTF?

Oh man, bathroom dreams. I'm always so glad I don't find the bathroom before I wake up!

NIELSPETERDEJONG [2010-11-29 11:53:59 +0000 UTC]

I have had dreams like that as well! Those can really be unsettling

Though seeing as all of Frollo's problems stem from him being unable to handle a boner, maybe you should have tried to seduce him and thus saved paris from burning!
