"A Nightmare from my childhood" by Cynthia ´holyvirus´ Bongers

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 1 out of 10 by Cynthia ´holyvirus´ Bongers. ←Previous - Next→


	This etching is based on a dream (or nightmare)from my childhood. I was inspired by Salvadore Dali to made this picture. The strange tentacle, which the octopus is holding up, are some kind of castanets. Despite the nightmare the octopus is still my favorite animal.

15 Jan 2001	Dwan R. Organ	Loading... Oho! I like the octopus, but I must say that those elephant head men are really cool!
21 Jan 2001	Alex Aal	Loading... Yihaa ! An octopus, and a big one too. I like these beasts. They kick ass... Well they would if they actually had feet. I do like the rest of the picture too.
2 Feb 2001	Marcel Nyström	Loading... This just shows that dreams are one of the best inspirations one can get. Do you have more dreams?
7 Dec 2001	Dora E Gonzalez	Loading... WOW!!! Very nice drawing. Very creepy though. Like your imagination. I say that are imagination runs lose in our dreams and is at it's full potential when we are unaware of it because we don't hold back on it. Love the way you drew the octopus. It lokes more like a squid though.
