SciFi and Fantasy Art: Monk

So, this monk appeared in the same dream as did the blue goddess. I found him sitting outside of a temple, smoking from a hooka. He was very calm and pleasant, and gave me some good advice which I couldn't remember upon waking. He struck me as being very close to God. As he exhaled the smoke, which was blue and seemed life-like, it would curl out of his mouth and become words. The words were in Arabic. I can't remember what they said, so I just used one that seemed appropriate to me for the picture. This word means 'faith'. Anyways, in the dream, the smoke words became like very thin paper when it was pulled out of the air. I held it and tried to read it, but could not understand most of the Arabic. The paper was also transparent, almost, making it more difficult to read because there was a map on the other side that showed through. It was a map of part of the "Holy Land". I was taken with this dream, and the monk especially, so I had to draw him. I hope I may meet him again some day.

Aha! First comment conquest!
This is awesome. Its really basic while being very detailed- contradictions are always pleasing- and i love the story behind the picture. You trip to much.
