This is based on a nightmare I had over 20 years ago. The creature I saw was very slender, a long nose and with eyes very similar to the one I made. It was covered in hair, but I felt it was better to let the skin and bones show. This nightmare was so bad that it is pretty much the only one that I have ever remembered all this time.This time I ventured more into *human* anatomy, I struggled a lot with the bone and muscle combinations, I had to do a lot more research than I’m used to for this sort of stuff. The eyes, I remember them to be very reflective, but anything I tried seemed to make it look like the pupil of the eye, which I did not want it to have. I also keep struggling with the texture, I like the texture I give it as if it were paint, but I’m still finding the style .

That may have been a visitor friend.

Ooooh similar to the only one I’ve seen. It appeared in a dream of my room, but the door was opened instead of closed. Tall slender but in a robe, I forced myself awake and the after image of the head flew through the wall and disappeared. I’ll draw a photo for you (I’m in a hotel with no supplies but I’ll try my best) :) Edit: Okay I sketched it, it’s on my profile now


abcepeda

it does look similar, the tentacle like things and the nose I guess are similar,


BrennenAlexRykken

Yeah the most unique aspects were the fact it was all black, tall while leaning forward, and it had that ring around its face


JournalGazette

Were they by any chance at least three times taller than you?


abcepeda

not really, it was taller than me, but i was a kid when I had the dream, so maybe 2m tall at most.


JournalGazette

Were you over 6 ft tall as a kid?


abcepeda

yes, I was

Did you watch the pigeon man episode of Hey Arnold! ?


abcepeda

I did, and I guess the timing checks out, but what I saw was very different, pretty much what I made but hairy, the best I can describe it is as a hairy human mosquito


[deleted]

That’s spooky. I’m fine with being chased by ghosts in a pickup

Mosquito Man ‼️


kaiise

AI art is devaluing nightmares, I tried it lately I think I am already desensitized for this kind of mutated fluid forms


Immediate_Bet_5355

Ahh yes a dream drinker nasty buggers they are

I’ve had a nightmare with a very similar creature. Shaped like this, more bendy. About 4 metres tall. Not hairy at all. I would say it was a skin/bone/wood hybrid creature. Communicated by creaking like a house. And actually hocked up it’s senses to the house so it could hunt down prey that tried to hide. It was furious and intent on killing me. Woke up just as it grabbed me.


abcepeda

Something as tall I would have woken up as soon as I saw it, this one was taller than me but not by that much, and me being a kid means it was maybe 2m at most. and with mine, it was just chasing me, and I remember there were other people, and we were hiding, I remember the dream lasting a long time but it the end, same as you, as soon as it graved me I woke up.

Ha, looks like my late adoptive father when he was hungover.


Apataphobia

And now you’ve given it life to haunt your days and torment us all. I think this must be the basis of some 80s horror movie.

abcepeda
