Description Drawn in reaction to a nightmare I had at 3am. There was a serial killer that left the head and the arms and legs of his victims on trays in a basement of a house that I was looking to buy. The only thing was, the remains weren't dead. And the girl's head on the tray in front was trying to tell me something. The furnace in the background with the burning head in it was where I was trying to dispose of the remains before the serial killer returned to kill my family. It was a horrible dream, of which I woke in an utter state of depression and paranoia. The water off to the right symbolizes the destruction of many of my belongings, including majority of my artwork, represented by the melting pictures on the wall.

thanks again, good sir! a lot of the detailing was lost in the scan. I tried a bunch of different techniques and this is the best I could come up with. my apologies.

stop eating cheese before you go to bed. . I have often had the same type of nightmare and I agree you become terrified and paranoid for a while after. in the last 7 nights I have had three nightmares but i could never attempt to draw them

Wow, great work! I love how the floor is morphed, and it definitely is worth the wait to see it! I know you've been working on it for a while, and I'm happy to see it!

My evil oven drawing came from one of my nightmares, but it wasn't as bad of a nightmare as this seemed to be. I've been trying to draw another nightmare that I had as a child, but I can never get the feeling right, and I won't post it until it has that feeling.

I want to draw it and get the feeling, drawing my nightmares helps me get over them

Good to see some work from you again, haven't even see many journals from you lately

Hope you're doing well!
