The Dream Diary of SUEÑO DIVERTIDO

Bienvenue.
I'm SUEÑO, a business student with a dreamy overworld. I'm a hobbyist artist struggling with motivation, but I hope to reignite the spark I once had. I've always had vivid dreams for as long as I can remember; they are my ultimate source for original ideas, either for fan art or for original work, which is why I go by this name. I ended up stumbling upon this place, so I've decided to come here to work on my art skills as well as develop more of my original content.

A bit about me.
I've been drawing since I was two and doing digital art since 1st grade, but over the years. my natural progression has halted a bit. It's brought a lot of frustration and tears, but I just need to take it one step at a time to return to the swing of things. These days, I specialize more in sketching and working with graphite. It brings a lot more enjoyment honestly! I occasionally do so digital art, but I have to be in the mood for it lol

As someone with ADHD (not finding out until a year ago), my perception of things was always very, very different, and it was reflected in all the drawings I did as a child. I grew up drawing a lot of strange pictures based on my favorite video game series, like Mario, Sonic, Smash Brothers, and much more, but people enjoyed them. I didn't start creating original characters until high school (because I had a really weird thing for having an exclusive focus on my favorite characters). Now I have a plethora of characters, but I just need to get them out of my head and on to paper!

Some of my art!
I'll warn you, I'm a huge fangirl of the character Sora from Kingdom Hearts, so a lot of the examples will be about him, but I do have some other types of stuff to show!

The last major graphite work I did. Made this on 5 October 2017. Wait, it's already been almost a year!?

Here's where the weirdness settles in. I have an AU called GODSEND inspired from a KH theory of Sora being the Soul of KH. To abridge it, Sora has a KH fragment inside him and the two, under the right circumstances, can merge together, resulting in The Will of Kingdom Hearts! I call him Sorakami. These are some doodles I've done inspired by music.

Here is more of what I do now. This is also GODSEND work, but it's a work in progress. I'm developing this method of art so I can still post works, but without the long wait caused from graphites. PS: the proportions look better in RL but my phone camera is kind of garbage.

Here's one of my original characters!! Inspired by a very close international friend who has become my beloved. This is Fleur Venimeuse, one of my "dreamy magical girls" (I do dream of magical girls). She's an assassin-styled fighter who can manipulate venom, but over time, she comes to serve a wicked god-like entity who changes her. I have so much about her that I've developed with my beloved, but I'll get to that in future posts!

My goals for this 'blog'
Now that you have a better idea of how I draw, I want to expand more on the "dream" aspect of my being. It's something that I harp on so much, but I have much difficulty illustrating what I see (other than characters!). Incredible worlds, crazy events, and very mystical moments. This place looks to be very good in regards to community and critique. I love receiving critiques! Please don't be afraid to doodle on my works to further emphasize your points; the more direction, the better!

I hope you all enjoy what's to come!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I'm very happy that you liked my art! I definitely look forward to developing myself through this site and speaking with wonderful people like you. <3

Alright! I recently finished this last week (as of the time of this post), and it's a character I saw in a dream! This isn't the dream diary entry where this girl appeared, but I thought I would share. This is also the newer method of illustration I'm developing to not sink so much time in between posts.

I saw her in my dreams back in May. Originally, she and another girl were orphans taking shelter in a strange large, abandoned factory. She was approached by a strange entity, eventually becoming a follower of this being. That part is related to a story I'm working on with my beloved, but I won't touch that unless necessary, but it's why she's now adorned in a mask.

She had blonde hair, tan skin, and red eyes. Sometimes I can't remember their names, but when a word keeps turning in my head over and over again, it's the name I give them, and that name was Hilda.

Her outfit concept was much like how Fleur's was made, but being inspired by Russian clothing and steampunk attire this time around. I didn't see her use any powers in the dream, so I gave her a dual-edge staff that can turn into machetes or daggers. I hope to see her again in future dreams to better determine her powers or other aspects of her character.

I used a figma poser to help me pose her, but I KNOW that there's something wrong with that left arm and hand! I don't know how to fix it, so if you know how, let me know!

I hope you all enjoy!

Oh my goodness!! I knew this site would be just what I needed!

This is the kind of direction I seek to improve. Thank you very, very much for your kind words and your direction! Maybe I can remake that area with the tip you've given me. The lines on the leg are very helpful!

I definitely have some more concepts on the way soon!
