Description

I can’t remember when I started this picture, I think it was like something weeks ago, but today I just finished it.

I am always taking a walk down memory lane when it involves with dreams. This picture is something from the dream I had when I was 8 years old in the summer of 1999. This is probably one of the dreams I will never forget.

Here’s the story:

I was running through the dark woods all alone. I looked up in the trees and I saw an animal with big eyes that looked like this: nocturnal-animals.com/wp-conte… and it looked like something that I saw in a ZooBooks magazine (that was given to me by my second grade teacher who is now retired). Anyway, I was so scared that the animal was going to attack me so I ran to this little building that looked like a rest area, but when I went inside it looked like an arcade in one little room. It didn’t have bathrooms or a ticket redeeming prize booth. I looked at the one game that looked like fun it was to pick some kind of color. I turned around, and I saw a little pink germ like thing talking to me and it had some little nasally voice. He told me to pick what color I want, if I marry him. I told him ‘no’. He told me ‘yes’. But I still refused to marry him. It was like being in a Disney movie where a villain wants the girl in the worst way, but it doesn’t happen. After the argument with the germ was over, I played a game that he was on with a bunch of other characters, and the game looked like a pinball machine. But was built like this: innovativenurse.com/wp-content…

And the dream ended. The next morning, I told my mom what happened in the dream.

I never knew the name of the little germ. So I gave him a name instead, Gimmy Germball. It is Jimmy spelled with the letter 'G'. I used to call him a ‘little slimy face thing’, I guess because of what he looks like, plus he didn’t say what his name was.

This was drawn and colored on paper, when I scanned the picture, the lines looked a little bright so I redrew them using a pen tool in Photoshop CS4, and I even made the glass, the rug design, and the floor in the program. I can’t forget one thing the green frame and my name and date at the lower right hand corner. I used two different tutorials. photoshop-tutorials.wonderhowt…

I had the third one but I can’t find it anywhere.

This was done in colored pencils, pen, and Photoshop CS4.

This picture is the property of me. Please do not steal, copy, etc. Thank you!

Astonishing! Why does this dream click with my sense of nostalgia in some way?

I like retro video game arcades and the solitary vessel of magic they encapsulate, that's all. Plus, paying witness to a surreal occurrence in it makes for a twisted experience I'm no stranger to. It's a sense of wonder I've kept for years, even during that year, 1999; I was six then.

Anyway, Gimmy doesn't seem to resemble any pre-existing cartoon character, so I'm psyched that he exists of pure imagination.
