Here is the updated WIP with loose explenations.

Slenderman Uni Project

This is my Interpretation of the legendary creepypasta Slender man, the favourite horror story on the internet that people still believe in!

Slenderman is often though of as a paranormal being who snatches people away if he is witnessed, so if you see him, you have to pretend not to see or somehow erase your memory if you hope to live. He is characterised as a tall and slender figure with limited or no facial features and many arms or tentacle like appendages. 

I like the idea of a slenderman that not only murders/rapes, but actually does damage to society as a whole by puppeteering important individuals like politicians, this is why I associate slenderman to webs and strings as well. The cruel thing, is if he were to puppet people, noone could do anything about it, thus putting more pressure on the situation where if you DO spot him, you SHOULD report to authorities, but would you at the cost of your own life?

So Hide yo kids, Hide you wife, Hide yo kids, Hide yo wife. cus he's rapin' errybody out there.

The man who wouldn't stop popping like a balloon.

Dream cover: Balloon man by ~Ludjia on deviantART

The man who wouldn't stop popping like a balloon!
In an effort to work more with dream content, rather than try to capture "screenshots" from the dreams, I am now trying to summarize the dream with a front cover like on games, books and film.

This dream was about me and my friend walking around in a supermarket, and continuously would be startled by a man who popped like a balloon. He would allways come back. We asked him to stop with his pranks, but he would not. We tried to run away, but the halls were infinite! I realized this so we ran in the opposite direction, back where we came. The stairway there was like a caleidoscope that was turning, but we managed to cross it and go outside. End.

The man looked ordinary, the poster here is a conceptual interpretation.

I'm contemplating to add text to this to make it look more like a cover. I struggle with the best title though.
Balloon man
The man who wouldn't stop exploding
The man who wouldn't stop popping like a balloon.
Popping man.

One can ask whether this character was a representative of a general prankster, an angry person, or a pervert. or all three. There is also the association to balloons being "inflated" as in he had an inflated sense of power or self worth. He also reminded me of drifloon a lot.

Enderman Fanart

Enderman Stare by ~Ludjia on deviantART

This is a mixed media water+digital from some tiny scetches I did. It has an slenderman embedded into it too, but it isn't recognisable anymore, just part of the texture. Probably going to be part of my uni project.

mimi

I couldn't think of a title so i just put mimi there.

I'm practicing other artists artsyles in the name of scie- i mean learning! It is only observational and for helping me evolve and produce my own style eventually.

Dream Punk

This creature design is based on something from a recent chase dream I had. I did this piece to try out new stuff, not so much for drawing out my dream. The mood of the dream was very different and depressive.

Uni work

Mirror Mask by ~Ludjia on deviantART

This was part of my university project. We had to make promotional material for a theatre play, but I did it on a movie. We had to make a flyer and a programme pic. this is the work I used but without all the text on it.


MirrorMask part 2 by ~Ludjia on deviantART

And that is the programme piece.

Dream postcards

Early uni project. It was quite a mess and required a lot of research into my own dreams, and that is more difficult than it sounds.

The task was to make a series of postcards.
I chose a theme of reoccuring dreams.

3 negative and 3 positive, whom negate one another in pairs.
This was not a design choise, but a consequence of my dream pattern. I discovered that my reccuring dreams all fell into categories and had opposites.

From left to right:

Blind "incapability" dream: These dreams all have in common that I cannot see properly or at all. I rely on other people to aid me and am frustrated. The post card depicts me in blinding light holding over my eyes with the symbol of blindness on the back of my palm.
This dream highlights my occational sense of uselessness, hopelessness, inability to act, failing goals and the overwhelminess of existance.
Contrast to dragon "Capability"

Tornado "Chaos" dream:
These dreams all have in common that a tornado or powerful storm suddenly appears, the dream goes from very clear to very abstract quickly, as gravity shifts and all things tear and fly in the storm. This theme represents my own confusion in difficult situations, the jumbling of memories. It is about failing to handle too big and uncontrollable tasks and a lack of control.
contrast to lucidity "control"

Dragon "capability" dream:
These dream all have in common me transforming into a dragon. She is often godlike, and can do whatever she please. I added the scales to represent capability through descision making, and she has power over the whole world. She reflects what I strive for; impossible goals, but happy to be forever reaching.

Train "restriction" dream:
The train dreams all have in common I find myself on train tracks or inbetween electric wires. They serve as physical obstacles I want to get around or away from. The trains come in lines of 5 to 20 tracks and all try to run me over, though I allways dodge them swiftly. If I remember I can fly, the electrical wires in the sky seem to become infinite and are allways there. It reflects the obstacles of life really...
contrast: flying "freedom"

Lucidity "control" dream:
In the lucid dreams I am aware I am dreaming and try to do something amazing or impressive. In this dream I paint mountains onto the sky. This dream is the ultimate in awareness and control.
contrasted Tornado "chaos"

Flying "freedom" dream:
Flying freely is my best expression of freedom in dream. There is nothing I have ever done that feels more liberating than flying.
contrasts traintracks "restriction"
