More Dream Weirdness

I couldn't sleep last night. I've been wound up tight lately. Can't sleep until I pass out from exhaustion. I was tempted to get up, get dressed and go out for a run or something, but it was 3 in the morning and I'm not crazy or stupid.

Well, not usually.

When I finally grew sleepy enough to close my eyes and try to sleep, all I kept seeing was an all black room with no light source and this..

Broken Doll
Just a quick, general sketch


...floating towards me and never getting closer. I'd see intricate details, but she never got closer to me. The only thing that really disturbed me about her was how her head hung-- like her neck had been snapped-- to the side.

Yes, those are stitches on the sides of the mouth


I just wish I could've done it justice. But there was too much to draw. So many details. She had such a bony, emaciated frame, her skin the color of bone, the arms and legs longer than they should be, and these ghostly, snakey tendrils flowing from her. Kind of like a jellyfish.

It's a wonder I ever get any sleep..

Very Tim Burton-ish. I love it :) in a sort of freaky way...

Edana- As a Tim Burton fan, that's rather high praise for me. Thanks!
