Don't Wake Me Up by Rogue Ranger

I got a lot of helpful tips on shading after my last tutorial, so I thought I'd try something new. It's morning light through blinds (in 3D).

I have this recurring dream that my grandma was just lost. I hug her and never want to let her go and she tells me everything will be fine and reminds me of all the promises we made each other. Even if I forget many of my dreams, the relief I feel from finding her is something I can't forget. In my dreams, she never died. But only in my dreams...

That 3D is fantastic! I also like the light-through-blinds effect.

I'm sorry you lost your grandma, by the way. That was a touching story!

*cries* I lost my grandma Campbell a few years back. I didn't cry at her funeral, I was lost in my mind at the time but when I got home I cried all night. I had this one dream where I was visiting her along, she suddenly feel to the floor taking a stroke and I couldn't save her!! T-T I miss her...

This picture is beautiful and has an awesome use of 3D!

paulo

24 Apr, 2013, 12:16 am

dude, how old are you? I like the messages in your drawings... Seems really mature. I dont know how to deal with death myself at my age! I guess if someone too close of me died (like my grandmother) I'd die too haha. D: And I really like how you created the animation before starting drawing. Very well planned (: And, as I said in other drawings of yours, I'd like you to let us know when you start using Flipnote Studio :*

I see you already used the advice that people gave you on shading - and you are already using it right. Looks a lot better and more realistic if you ask me. Great job Rogue!

Amazing as always! My grandma lives on a dif. continent & shes really old (DONT ANY OF YOU DARE THINK IM INSULTING HER ITS A FACT AS IN OLD & SICK!!) All my other grandparents died before I was born... I'm worried that she might, pass on... but if she does I know she will go to heaven. I wish I could see her more often but ships take really long and planes get me nauseous & that takes long but I really don't care as long as I see her.

I know this is ramdom but my friends dad has a reccuring dream where he is a horse race and the jockeys (horse riders) weren't riding on horses but instead they were riding on giant ladybirds (ladybugs). And what makes it really funny is that it's reccuring.

27 Apr, 2013, 1:38 am

Woaah, dude, the 3D is amazing!
Have you tried a dreamcatcher? I've had one by my bed for, like, 7 years and I only have nightmares when it falls off.
Pfft, I don't care what people say, those things are freaking magical.

Deku_Sage

27 Apr, 2013, 1:58 am

What a beautiful story. And this painting equally amazing.

super*star

27 Apr, 2013, 2:10 am

i agree with zelda, i got a dream about 5 years ago and i haven't had a bad dream since then :D the bad dreams that i used to have wuld turn into a good dream

for example: before the dream catcher, there wuld be abuncha shooting and bombs, and i wuld be powerless, defenseless, weak and vulerable, then get wounded and di.e (and then wake up terrified)

after the dream catcher, there's shooting and bombs, but im just flowing threw it like a secret agent, im strong and defenseful, then i defeat the shoo.ters/bombers instead of the other way around, and THEN it'd start raining icecream when i succeed :p (and then i wake up angry because someone interupted my heroic dream, but i'd be happy and NOT scared)

see the difference? ^o^ those things really ARE magical 83

super*star

27 Apr, 2013, 2:23 am

another bad dream that went good because of the dreamcatcher is that one that i ALWAYS had, where i was in this maze, and my voice was gone, and all these ghosts pop out at me, and try to ki.ll me, and i can't get out of the maze, because i can't speak, and i need to speak a pas.sword to get out, so im just trapped in a maze with kil.ler ghosts having a heart attack until i wake up and find out it was a dream then, cowar in the corner with my pillow

but after the dreamcatcher, i'd be in the maze and my voice was still gone, and all the ghosts wuld pop out, buy they wuldn't ki.ll me, this time were they friendly ghosts, and they gave me some popcorn and stuff, and they wuld speak the pas.sword for me and help me out of the maze, and....i never found out what was at the end, because i ALWAYS woke up at that part, but im sure it was nice, it was still a good dream :D better than before right?

im a light sleeper cuz im always willing to get up, and i wake to the smallest sounds, my brother's a heavy sleeper, he drags along and doesn't want to get up, and we have to call his name several times to get him to turn over, then we have to call even more times for him to ACTUALLY get up and roll out of bed

Very sweet and incredible work! You just keep getting better with each new presentation. This is so peaceful and a wonderful ending to my day. I was never close to either of my grandmothers and sometimes feel cheated because of it. But I got to spend some quality time with my mother's mother before her passing, so I can relate somewhat. You are a special and sensitive artist and thank you so much for sharing!
