Illustrated Dreams...

So. A contest comes along with a theme of illustrating your own dreams... guess who has over ten years worth of totally weird, wild, and eminently illustratable dreams written down? HA, there's no way I could resist doing this! And now that I've done one dream picture... I think I want to do more... oh dear.

If you're really curious, you can read the dream here (and see the final picture as posted for the contest.)

That Picture Again (Somewhat Smaller):


Flight and Fetters - the Finished Picture



Life studies for the picture, because I'm a perfectionist (look, HANDS!):
