Over time, mystical beliefs began to surround the fossil. It was said that sleeping next to it could induce premonitory dreams.

Scholars attributed the fossil's origin to a supposed ancient people who had fled into a collective dream, fading into their own dreams, hence the name "The Dreamfaders".
The illustration depicts an ancient, worn mural, representing a ritual for inducing premonitory dreams through a human fossil. Between two fish-shaped candlesticks, a sharkfolk lies asleep on a bed, covered by an ornate blanket, next to a pedestal on which rests a human skull adorned with a jewel on its forehead. Above, there is a representation of a dream where an unknown humanoid figure offers a kind of hourglass to the sharkfolk, who appears surprised. It is unknown whether the scene depicted actually happened and what its real meaning was.

I received a question on Tumblr about the origin of the term "The Dreamfaders", which Waiohana (the sharkfolk) used in the past to refer to humans in the story, and I was inspired to do a few things.

Its origin is attributed to an old legend about the discovery of an enigmatic fossil. 💀✨
The illustration depicts a human skeleton curled up in a fetal position, carefully preserved in a small grotto adorned with arched ornaments. A fish-shaped incense burner emits a greenish smoke around it. The human fossil appears to be worshipped by the sharkfolk as a ceremonial object with mystical properties.

I want art thats made by people, because i want to connect with people. I don't care if that art is made for personal reasons or for a coca cola commercial, i want to see art and think about the person who made it. How they got here. why they became an artist. What inspires them.
idk.

hyping yourself up is one of the best things you can do to flip your mindset! the fact that you made something— even if it didn't turn out how you wanted— is SO cool, and every piece is a learning experience! 🙌🏻

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

I mean it's either A.C.E. or Dicer, right?

But between the two, I think maybe Dicer? 🤭💖 He's just so sunny 🌞

Another FB challenge! I'm probably either very shonen coded or a mouse with the personality of a smelly old man. There is no in between.

Busy with life (it's always chaotic near the holiday season!) and I miss drawing my OCs 😣 ~ funny how the "I must draw!" and inspo meter goes to max when I'm swamped with work... Hoping to finish up the mini story from drawtober in the upcoming weeks once I get a breather 😵‍💫....
