Glaphyra Featured By Owner Feb 10, 2007 Student

makawakan Featured By Owner Dec 23, 2006

Hmm... I like that he is very much at peace and in touch with nature and what she has to offer despite the looming onset of nasty, dirty civilization in the background. Plus, floating while you sleep is super cool

Great work, Pete!

reminds me of Beeshma, some guy from hinduistic mythology...for some reason it was granted to him that he can only die if he wants to....but then in some huge battle he lay on battlefield on arrows that stuck in his back and he could not go away, also he had pain, but he could not die...long time he lay there and then he decided that he wants to die....

well, but your pic is the pacifist version of that

ivychubb Featured By Owner Oct 28, 2006 Student Photographer

Hmm, is this showing how nature is slowly but surely getting pushed to the side? I just thought that when I saw the buildings and smoke in the background.
I like the colors and just the whole theme.

Nice allegory about sexual disfunction!

silvadrian Featured By Owner Nov 1, 2006

Ok, another one: he is having wet dreams! Much more light, isn't it! (lol)

pesare Featured By Owner Oct 30, 2006 Professional

Hahaa! Didn't see that one coming - but I see it now.

Thanks!

LeeAnneKortus Featured By Owner Oct 28, 2006 Professional Digital Artist

Fantastic! I love your technique on the sky/smoke and below the flowers!
Really lovely! Your work is so inspirational!

dreamy work... your paintings makes me happy.. i feel great... wow!

Zacheriah Featured By Owner Oct 28, 2006 Interface Designer

I had a dream about those buildings once...

I love the contrast. You're images are always so striking. Well done.

pesare Featured By Owner Oct 28, 2006 Professional

Oh, what happened in the dream?

I once had a dream where I had arrived to a strange town where I knew no one and had never been before, and I had no idea how or why I was there. The whole dream I tried to get out, find away back home, but no trains left that place and none of the people who lived there knew the road away... I've actually had a couple of dreams of that same, strange dream-town. And that city has lots of buildings like these...

Zacheriah Featured By Owner Oct 28, 2006 Interface Designer

The dream was odd - I was in several kinds of landscapes throughout the dream, though I was in the same general area. The buildings changed as the dream progressed. They were like this when I had to fight some people bright colored. Earlier in that dream, I was in one of these buildings. It had with very low ceilings. I was aware that I was dreaming for this early portion of the dream (lucid dreaming), and was thoughtfully exploring the dream world. That was the first time I ever tried dream spinning (a technique to keep oneself lucid while dreaming, and to keep from waking up. [link]).

betweenhomenserenity Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006

I also prefer sleep on flowers, than in those horribles condoS! full of noise, no tranquility! i prefer that world you share with us in your creations, is so beautiful, full of meaning, i love it

KathiaRocha Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006

So lovely... like always.

Sleeping on flowers
Under the big towers~

Beautiful idea...I like the colour scheme you used.. and the shading, especially on the buildings-they look like they were painted with real oil paints~

Formor Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006

Love the fairy tale feel of this!

fragrantcorpse Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006

wow! so deep...

Aglaja-hall Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006

so sad....

FaerieShadows Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional Traditional Artist

beautiful

barbarasobczynska Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional General Artist

heh, this makes me think of Franz Kafka for some reason, and also of the Sleeping Beauty of course
looks very meaningful

pesare Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional

Oh, yeah, I guess it does have some Kafka in it... Just here the sleeper didin't turn into a horrible creature - but rather the rest of the world.

chris10belgium Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional Traditional Artist

very awesome again!

davincipoppalag Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Hobbyist General Artist

I love your imagination, Pete

mercurial Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006

Wow! This is really gorgeous from both a visual and a psychological perspective. I love it! The sketchiness of it really adds something, IMO.

What program do you use to paint?

pesare Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional

Thanks!

I use Corel Painter ix. And so far it's been acting very nice towards me...

dorfman Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006

i like your nu avatar , and i like your bizarre world!

pesare Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional

Thanks!

But it's not THAT bizarre... Isn't a world where you cannot live without writing your name on papers that have numbers a little bizarre!

Adnil Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional Traditional Artist

Aaah thats supppper!
I always love the choise of colours & the mood of your work...!Well done

pesare Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional

Thanks, Linda! Surprisingly I'm pretty happy with this myself also...
I can find like only few hundred things wrong about it - so it's almost perfect!

Adnil Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2006 Professional Traditional Artist

heheheeeeee...I disagree,BUT i know what you mean

Im the same with my own work.
Its very different how the artist sees his/her work and how others do...
But to me all your work seems nearly perfect..I say "nearly" cause there IS no such thing as perfection and if there was..it would be boring.
