Dream of amazing digital beauty

[kajarainbow]

After the ending of Anthrocon, I and a bunch of friends ended up in someone's hotel having an informal 'party' and eating pizza. I talked some via paper pad and pencil but eventually my fatigue overtook me, and I slept right there on the floor for a bit.

I dreamt that shatterstripes was playing this game. It, well... It was all about some star-dog. And it was doing in this amazingly vivid style. All neon lines and outlines consisting pretty much the opposite of shatterstripes's lineless, solid filled shapes art. The way things were subdivided inside into smaller shapes reminded me of (insert link here), but the overall shape of the dog for example was less angular than that and more cartoony-round. And everything had stars inside them. The overall execution was actually fairly beautiful, like viewing some of the best aboriginal art.

I really wanted to play this game, but after I had finished with other distractions (including a game that made Peggy just start to go creepy like she did in a certain library, so that she ended up excusing herself and leaving briefly in order to avoid wigging out) and when I was just about to start playing, I woke up. How frustrating. ;)

As a side effect, the front lobby of the convention center's attached hotel had those automatic revolving doors with mirrors on their inside curved walls. As I walked out at night with the others staying at the house, the warped reflections made me dizzy... in part with inspiration. I got a mental image of some amazing floating fantastical castle with those dizzying rotating doors as a defense system or the like. I'm definitely adding that to what I'm working on.

Definitely send me the thing about fantasy cliches if you find it.

The ex-fling and I have run into each other every now and then, but I was usually at work, so I had an excuse to not get into a lengthy conversation.

I'm always waking up before the best part of dreams too. There was one where I was in a flying wheelbarrow in a canyon, and the wheelbarrow rose out of the canyon and I was just about to see over some trees when I woke up. Not that fascinating, but it seemed really important to see over those trees at the time.

I never really thought about how the True Runes are deus ex machina, but you're right.

It's okay, though, since you're new to using Livejournal like this.

It was a pleasure to meet you, although we split just as I'd started talking with you. And I didn't hug you goodbye! Boo hiss on rat. Next time.

These dream-images are so cool I may try doing something like that with pixels. For reference, please insert link where it says (insert link here)!
