The Great Nameless: Lightness & Darkness


Left: Nameless(Lightness), Right: Nameless(Darkness)
     This is a digital painting (a work in progress) that depicts the two main characters in a two part spiel that I'm writing, mainly meant to depict the two halves of my soul.
     The first half originated from an old note book that I had once kept dreams in. This half was "Lightness", a dream where the world has been bleached with an unforgiving evil that can only be purged by the character, Nameless, (on the left) and the albino cat Leon (have yet to add him in). The two live on a planet by the name of Polymer, an earth made entirely of metal that has been painted bleach white. Meany people live beneath the surface, where the metal planet descends deeper and deeper until it reaches the core. Each level is brightly lit with lights that never go out, only the surface welcomes darkness.
     The second half was created the second night after I had read "Lightness" in my old note book. The imagery in this dream was actually partly due to a more personal event witch had and still has left me somewhat unstable emotionally.(BLA! BLA! BLA! MOVING ON!) I also didn't have a pillow that night because I was using it for an art project, thus explaining the water in my dream and the sequence in which I fall down into it, leaving a part of my soul behind. "Darkness" is a much lonelier tale, of yet another character by the name of Nameless and a stuffed lion named Leo. The land of "Darkness" is seemingly unpopulated, only plants and animals survived the prior catastrophe. Polymer, is no longer a blistering white planet, the walls are covered in dirt and plant life. Black walls with small emergency lights to guide the way.
