It was sort of like a "the sims" scenerio. The cursor is there because thought it would explain the dream better. I think I was having a flashback of when I was riding the carousel at bush gardens when i was 7 or 8. Anyways, I picked up and tossed over the edge and I tried screaming but nothing would come out, which was the worse part, the light was fading and it was so dark.
I wish all my dreams weren't black and white.
I didn't purposely make the carousel so scary though :D I like that it's not too realistic.

too bad I cant draw cars.

She walked into her room and sat on her bed with a sigh and started to draw. Suddenly, she heard static. Instinct told her to look towards the TV... but nothing was there, not even a snowy screen. She began to panic, because the static kept getting louder and louder until it was too loud to bear. And just when she thought she would break down and scream and cry...

...it all stopped.

She lay in her bed, curled up on her side while taking deep breaths. What was that all about? Where did the noise come from? And as she was about to dismiss it as imagination...

"Hi."

She instantly looked up at the sound of the sweet, child-like voice. Her eyes landed upon the television in the corner, and she screamed...

(Sorry for the long description... and yes, this WAS my nightmare.)

The famous nightmare and strange image we tend to think of when alone, in the dark. :}
Don't have to tell you it still didn't come out the way I wanted. They never really do. :}

No Sleep.... he makes it hard to want to sleep. They have been very dark and strange lately. Can't seem to find any meaning to them. I'm going to get some beer. That usually helps. If he comes to you don't let him in, he does not like to leave.

Well. First things first. The writing on the prompt was amazing, as was the idea as a whole--thanks so much, DinoFlorist!
This was the second entry I did; the first one I worked on for four and a half hours, only to have the applet go crazy on me (look at the front leg!), killing everything I had done. Here's the link.
This little guy has eight skinny, double-jointed legs. The first pair have an extra joint, and are usually carried folded over on its back. All of them are tipped with the claws you can see, made of three claws that close into points. When the winds come around, it can stick all of the claws into the ground, and extend them to give it more leverage. These also come in useful when catching rabbits and fish, and to jab at the alligator. The many legs distribute its weight over many small points of ground and so help to avoid the mines. It is camouflaged, and so is invisible from the creature-eating plants. As for the monkeys and their coconuts, well, lucky for them, these thingies taste pretty good. Can't be helped with that big body and skinny legs.
I'm really happy with the expression on the fish.
Edit: Compression killed this. And, eew, there are ugly lines on the left side that I didn't notice before.

urgh this was harder than i thought im not used to drawing this kinda stuff but anyway i did the body like a monkey and the rest just kinda happened lol...

Ok people..we are off and running..... let's have em!
