SciFi and Fantasy Art How to Avoid Falling Asleep... by Tiina Aumala


	...during a boring lecture: if drawing Skulls* in your notebook doesn't help, try summoning the lord of Dreams and asking him for mercy. :) I tried to remove the annoying note book lines from the picture but failed. I put it here nonetheless, since this is the best pic of Morpheus I've managed to draw so far (and I quite like the Skull doodle as well). [*the big blue troll from PvP]

11 Jun 2003	Agent057	Loading... I really like lis style for Morpheus... It looks a little like some of Brian Froud's work... I hope that doesn't offend, as I mean it entirely as a compliment. Yay for mid-lecture doodles! Tiina Aumala replies: " Offend? Far from it. This being the Dream as he appears to the Faerie, I'm only happily surprised if you see some resemblance to Froud's work."
24 Jun 2003	Person Who can't Draw	Loading... I don't believe I really know who these characters are at all, but the guy at the bottom looks really awesome, especially his hair. (Did you say he was Morpheus?) The guy at the top is really cute, he looks as if he's sliding on his butt. ^_^
9 Jul 2004	Hope L Kodman	Loading... Not sure if this was intentional or not, but it seems to me that the drawing itself illustrates how not to fall asleep--namely, hit the Lord of Dreams upside the head with a falling creature, thus incapacitating him and allowing you to get on with it .
9 Jul 2004	Tanya Kozik	Loading... Woot for Skull! ^_^ I love PvP! Your drawing is really adorable (and Morpheus, too). As for lines, what color were they originally? If the color was different from the sketches (say, blue, and the sketches were in black) then I could probably help you (I really don't want to clutter your comment boars with not-necessarily-helpful advice). Although, the drig effect sort of adds to the whole feel of the sketch. Tiina Aumala replies: " Well, I had to go and buy a notebook with black lines, didn't I? So, I can't hope to remove them..."
13 Jul 2004	Marty	Loading... He looks like a creature ive seen before... In an imaginary land you may be familiar with... Were they called seeda, or menanngat... Something of that nature?... Tiina Aumala replies: "Everything affects everything..."
8 Sep 2005	Laura Watson	Loading... I think the notebook lines add to the picture, as it is about doodling and not falling asleep in a lecture after all. This is a great picture of Morpheus. i have to agree with Hope's comment-dropping the creature on Morpheus's head may be a way to prevent you falling asleep However i would imagine his reprimand would make you wish you'd simply fell asleep, as he's not know for his forgiveness of jokes. Really nicely drawn!
26 Apr 2007	Martin l krieger	Loading... I probably would have fallen asleep anyway... I used to draw in class all the time.
