Yeah, that was my guess, it's not so much a "burn" as the flash was so intensely bright that it bleached the pigment out of everything, much like the Sun, and the people and objects simply blocked that initial Flash in the moments they were incinerated.

Truly horrifying.

I like the way you think.

But no nothing that interesting, lol. This creature was the end result of a psychic inadvertently atomizing his home town, essentially. But upon doing also copied all the memories and psyches of people and animals, melding everything, including himself, into an interdimensional soup. That soup eventually formed into an entity. The Dreamscaper is a portion of the whole entity, however the other portions of it cannot exist at the same time in the same space. They're kind of like a revolving door, woven through different realities simultaneously, when one portion moves out of a "reality" another must come through in it's place. The Dreamscaper is the mad creator, trying to remake the town from a chaotic maelstrom of thoughts and memories, but is incapable fully shaping things accurately, nor is it really capable of coherent thought. When it disappears in its place comes the Dreamripper. This portion is the mad destroyer, everything the Scaper made is completely and utterly leveled. Rinse, repeat, forever.

I don't rightly recall what the inspiration was, it was a little while ago. I can confirm I did not use a Street Shark toy as a model, as funny as that would've been. I can see the similarity though. And I have definitely used toys before.

This thing actually has a "second form" where it peels back the skin of the "face" that's why it's stretched out like a tent, and why it's eyes are painted on. It'll then reveal it's real head with its arms, which are attached the tongue.

>Would the bell be rung to create a pocket of existence in nothing like a scaffold to embellish with imaginaria?

It's actually funny how close that is to what it does. Basically it's trying to recreate a long forgotten destroyed town, but it kind of sucks at it, so everything is warped and twisted, similar but uncanny, kind of like an AI painting. For example there's a house where the car is in the driveway, like apart of it, and the inside is filled with people made out of furniture.

Thanks. Not as much as I used to, being an adult means rip my free time. But I am still at it and unfortunately I still am over obsessive with my details, maybe even more so now because being digital means I can zoom in and shape the pixels to my will. I have a painting I've been working on for a friend for about two and a half years now, on and off, it's almost done thank God. And a good portion of that time was spent working on details no one will ever really see. Poetic in a way I suppose, but I really got to tone it down because there is such a thing as diminishing returns and I think I hit that a long time ago especially on this current piece.

Well yeah, those hands are grimy. It's like fondling broken clocks and shit, ewww....

Joking aside. Peering into the over-designed past (can you tell I like Final Fantasy?) It's supposed to be fabric tied to the clapper of a "bell". I'm no expert, but I think that's likely a really bad shape for a bell, so that thing probably rings for shit.

I've seen a lot of you guys posting your great artwork here. And it made me think of this Sketch I made, what feels like a life time ago (2010... Geez)

It was designed to be a "creepy mysterious" "secret boss" of "creepy" town where there's no people and nothing is quite right. For an RPG concept I dreamed up when I had way more free time, lol.

The "laughing and screaming" bit might seem a little heavy-handed but it was meant to be more of a reminder/designer note. Not necessarily spooky, hopefully it's not too cringe.
