For :iconnfouque: as he won my Jayden OC contest.

It was a very....different request I must say. He told me to draw something that I'm grateful happened to me during the week. It could have been metaphorically or literally. This took me a while to think since it was very different, not like the usual who say 'can you draw my character?'.

So for me, I hadn't been having the greatest sleep in over a month, so after experimenting something, I had a nightmare-less great full sleep (its sorta coming back now, but its not so bad) so I drew this. It's a girl, with her split in half (thats why her outfits are different) one world (the fire) is like my nightmare world and the other side, with the sunset (yes, if you haven't gotten it, I love colouring sunsets XD) is like when things are a good dream for me, the clothes alter too (and the hair)

So, enjoy!

Thank you Rika, this is creative and I love it.

I notice that the fire is trying to encircle the girl whereas the peaceful side is an open sky. She looks affraid, her right hand seems to grip on the sunset, but it's so light... almost vanishing. I can't say that she's going from dark to light, and she look in her back. The only eye I can see is on the "bad" side and it's purple-red, either very tired or maybe evil. But the long striped socks and even the teared red shirt she wears on her fire side remind me a lot of a witch suit.

So it's clear the fire and bright side is not outside but inside her, two sides of her own mind. So, maybe she's not torn beetween the two sides, in fact she doesnt look like that. Maybe she's just putting the two side together again, this could be the story of her reconciliation with the two parts herself. As to say, your reconciliation with yourself.

It reminds me a quote from Fight Club: "When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake." So what and who are you then ?
