Graphite pencil on paper
Description:
A frightened man sits hunched over in his mind.
Commentary:
This was the ending of a horrible nightmare I had which I won't explain in full but I will provide context to.
After a particularly bad day, I went to bed and the moment I shut my eyes I saw the horrifying image of my best friend hanging himself. I immediately woke up, frightened. After that some more things happened that are shown in the Nightmare Sketches and Bile. It then ended with me lying alone in my own brain. Below is the original sketch I did for this around midnight.
As you can see, not much changed, and the things that did are more so to make the complete art piece flow better than the rough sketch.
Some noticeable differences being the eye camera getting swapped out for a regular eye, the scared scream being swapped out for a ghostly gaze, the bleeding heart getting bigger and more atomically correct as well as not hanging as far down. And lastly rather than the person looking up and covering his head. He hangs his head down instead.
