Artist's Comments

I get sleep paralysis a lot so I did a piece on it for the nightmares show for the UPPERCASE gallery. I even had four bouts of it one night after I had researched the project. I always feel like I'm suffocating, like I'm on the brink of death. It's a scary sensation.

Those boobs are gnarly...amazing colors and a very frightening character you've created there. I have had sleep paralysis before and this very aptly describes the feeling. Well done!

Oh sweet jesus, do I relate.

In other news, the textures in this are looooovely and I am in love with this color scheme! You used a lot of vivid colors, yet there is still a very dark feeling. So it's awesome. :heart:

I've never experienced these types of dreams before, but I get pretty good idea what it feels like from this. The colours are fantastastic, they create a really good atmosphere. I like the fact that she is pinning the person down with her weight, good way of putting it ;-)

yea, i relate, i don't suffocate, but i panic a bit. the incubus' press is escapable!

I think you should spend s'more time on the background. It jus doesn't hold the same amount of love that you do for the foreground elements.
that, or jus lower the opacity or get rid of it. you might not really need it.

the two curved lines that form tangents with the wooden shelf are really distracting.

what if you kicked the left food to the left side?
you only recognize the shape now cuz of the color, love the other foot.

cool piece. the thumb really grabs me, and the piece in full view is fun to look at. the use of line is really successful!

I also had this problem a few years ago. Always ended in panic attacks during the night. I'm glad it's over though.

Oh and awesome illustration. Especially the color scheme is very suitable for the theme. :)

... and all that could have been.

Primary cause of sleep paralysis.
