Artist's Comments

Inspired by the memory of Henry Fuseli's The Nightmare and my treasured personal encounters with sleep paralysis. (Pictured: Sipher, a tiger.)

Was created with :icontwelfth:'s Intuos3 since mine recently went cataplectic. My gratitude knows no bounds.




Upnose poses are awwwright.

Oh Sipher, I shall shower you with pancakes~~~ ;n;

I REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS in case I haven't gotten that across yet. I'm glad you stuck with the black background (kinda reminds me of Saturn Devouring One of His Sons), it's very nightmarish. My poor baby, mauled by a melty tigar ; ; I'LL GET YOU, MICHARVELON, AND YOUR LITTLE SEAHORSI SHOES TOO

Out of curiosity, how many times have you experienced sleep paralysis?


I had one once. It wasn't fun

Oh so that's how he lost his arm XD. Liqui-tiger's got it out for him, I seeee [slkjs is that some beastformsomeone we know oooor?]. The colors are handled very nicely, here--especially the play on saturation and lighting. The tiger seems very ghostly, almost dreamlike against Sipher's skintone [<3]. And of course little textural elements such as the blood/tiger essence, ripples in the blanket, and also the wetness of Sipher's hair are just sparkle frosting.

Sleep paralysis sounds really scary aaaaugh. I don't think I'd like to wake up to a tiger mauling ;;.
