In Your Dreams
imagined by: James Mathias

From the murky depths of your sub conscious he slithers in swiftly, once attached you cannot shed him, he is the nightmare. You cannot hide from him as he is within you. Beware your sleep for that is where he dwells, awaiting your arrival so he may skewer you.
Drawn on printer paper, using a BIC mechanical pencil, inked using Micron .005 and .05 mm black ink pens, scanned into Photoshop CS2, resized, cleaned and prepared for color. Colored using a custom brush I created for a rough watercolor effect, shading done with a rough cell-shading technique. All while listening to Keane, Raconteurs, The Shins, How I became the Bomb and Bare Naked Ladies all on shuffle in iTunes.
This is number two in an undetermined length series of horror characters. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks and see you tomorrow.

Awesome!
Last two were definitely poster material. If you did a few more it would be cool to have a landscaped poster with a white background and your little guys lined up next to eachother all across the surface.
I would _so_ buy that.

Thanks! Yeah a poster would be cool, too bad I colored them both at the proper size for display on the web.
I’d have to recolor them for poster use.
