SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dreams Come True

I dedicate this picture to my boyfriend, Joe. I actually created this page for him, because together we can make our dreams come true. Look carefully within the entrance to the castle, there is a knight on a horse who represents Joe. The girl reading a book creates this world through her own dreams and imagination. This picture just sort of appeared itself. It's like a mesh of emotions in one. I created the young sleeping dragon first, then the rock, then the girl. Next thing I knew, I was creating a forest with tiny gnomes and fairies. The castle represents a dream city, a symbol for the future. The mountains reminds me of the mountains around Maui, Hawaii (where I live). Follow your heart,let it guide you, and see what emerges.

That's what fantasy's all about. I think I've made a career of trying to proving your title to be true. 2 Great shading in the landscape BTW.

nice! the shading really does make everything seem round and surreal. It's great how the castle and mountains around it fade away-makes it really misty looking. I like your dragon too!

WOW!!!!!!!! The name of my novel was "Dreams Come True" I wrote my novel about fairies and this picture went into my book.

I must say, the tree is quite good. I know, background detail, but it is defiantely part of what makes this picture so good. It's more than "a cotton-ball on a stick" which is seen too often. Great work!

at least you can always dream togather which is a better thing then is often given credit for. all of us togather make a world by how we live in it. there is much that is good in this - there are certinly places i would much less rather be - though perhaps also place i would more...

Your shading and detail of the landscape is very good. I love the castle, knight, dragon theme. Keep it up!

Hi. I wandered over to your gallery after you left one of the nicest comments I've gotten in agees over at my gallery. I just have a thing for surreal dream scenes, I guess. I love the way you managed to draw mist... I've never been able to get it right without the aid of Photoshop, and even then it only looks slightly less horrible 14 And anyway, I think that... oh God... can't old it back..... "ARRRRRR, I BE ONE-EYE BEN, SCOURGE OF THE SEVEN SEAS! This be nice picture, wot. I think'll go an' storm that castle, an' send it's inhabitants straight to Davy Jone's Lock-" Ahem. Sorry about that. I try to be sane for to long, and something like that happens 12

I love the background of this picture! The tree, the mountains, the mist, the and the stump especially! Oh wait I just named almost all of it oh well!

I think you've had a similar idea to mine, there can be so many ways that this can be portrayed. This is very sweet butits a pity that the castle ended up so near to the top of the picture.
