i think im way off, i dont even have dreams anymore as far as i know.
the last dream that i actually experienced, by which i mean saw, was in black and white and occurred in December of 2007.

maybe my brain is processing too much useless information which is unworthy of being seen by me? or maybe im just too tired at the end of the day to remember my dreams?

lucid dreaming can come later, i just want to get dreaming back for now lol.

Plenty of ways to make them happen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream #Induction_methods

thanks, ill be sure to look into that.

lol you think thats bad? the last school newspaper that i received had an article called: Top Ten Five Wii Games.

XD

i have recently stumbled upon a book called Building Mental Muscle by David Gamon and Allen D. Bragdon.

and in that book there is an article about a young college student who learned to manipulate his dreams, in other words he learned to control his dreams, choose when he dreamed and actually change environments, switch on sensations, create objects, etc...

the article, however, does not mention how he achieved that ability, it only says that he was able to do that through practice.

does anyone have the slightest idea of how one might be able to achieve such a skill?
if you had that skill, what would you dream about?

discuss.

pretty incredible, great work.

how sweet

unoriginal, but funny and well drawn

the kind of shit that i draw just cuz.

well there is money in graphic design, so you'll do better than me.
anyway sorry for ragging on your work its just my way.
i liked your "pen is mightier" though, its clever.

this place is full of "stuff"... "good stuff" lol

alright cool your jets mister.

anyways
this little project is all about the rules of design. this is not a fine art piece so the rules for a good composition change drastically

well in that case lets just say i like fine art pieces. also firefox comes with spell check so you can look well rested even after those oh so tough 9 hour shifts.

this is nice, although the face is a bit asymmetrical and there is not a lot of color transitions unlike in the torso

a charcoal image, its suppose to be Obama.

i had to do this for my 3rd period art class so naturally i didnt try too hard.

umm ok well i finished whatever the hell this is. i figured the whole colored pencil rape technique might give it a bit more style, i dont know you be the judge.

didnt really take me too long, its just sort of slapped together.

hence simplicity... artard

i know what simplicity means, i ment its missing character, even if you were going for simple you didnt have to make it boring.

and the insult was uncalled for.

seems a bit too empty...

oooo, i see your problem, the ass is a bit too pointy at the top. needs to be rounder bro.

also i think the torso needs to start at a different angle.

i see no vagina... only ass...

good work, though her ass seems to be too big and misshapen, unnatural bigness right there XD

the only thing that bothers me is that you started all the veins with black borders on them ( a signal that you outlined them first, which is ok ).... but then at the ends of the veins, there were no borders at all

yea i figured some poeple might have this type of reaction toward the pencil outline, im planning on erasing all the borders. Thanks for the comment, good to hear from you.

orgasmatastic. i love the loose, unblended strokes. very modern yet classic.
