Sounds like a nice challenge, but my worst nightmare is getting stuck between a malfunctioning automatic door... so that's not inspiring me to open up paint.

i don't believe you guys dont have proper nightmares... i have one every week if im lucky, had one last night about a pedo (jesus quintana from big lebowski) my freind was driving his yellow minibus around when we stopped at a drive in fast food place - beside the till jesus had a film of photos (not yet developed) of children half naked  at a swimming pool. i took it and we drove off. we got back to our house and then i found out harry also had taken a picture which was some pikachu hentai or summin. he found our house and broke in (we were in harrys room) he started kickin in the door and i hid my les paul beneath the bed so he wouldnt see it.. he called up a freind and they were shouting curse words at the door n stuff. im not pixeling that dream tho.

sadly i think its a premonition

You could take a different perspective on the subject and think of something that you wouldn't want to happen to you, instead of something horrible you actually dreamt about. 
 
I might take it in that direction since my nightmares are somewhat cliche.  Lot's of falling dreams...  I used to have dreams that someone was following me but they were across the street and a few steps behind me, but always watching me.  Not really scary but still creepy.

And now for something completely different...

My dreams all have no color. Black, white and grays is all. So that increases the fear. But I don't really remember them, just that they're black and white. In the case that I actually remember one, it's just blankness, with weird, random objects. A sphere I can touch, or just shapes for that matter. Or a figure I can't get to, I hate sleeping.

My worst nightmare..I've had a few nightmares, more than my fair share. 
Here are a few:
-Aliens invading the world and hunting door to door for humans to convert
-A waterpark from hell :S
-Getting up at the middle of the night to go to the toilet and bump into my father...who morphs into some demon thing and tortures me.
-Moving into a house where the walls bend and stretch to follow you.
-Werewolf on the loose and sneaks into my house
-Living in a village and i have to watch a bride get killed over and over
-Walking across a field near some woods and bigfoot chasing me
-Walking across a field near some woods and being chased by goblins.
-Sitting in a field and a tiny elf with a long pointy nose spying on me
-Walking through an old market which turns into something of a freakshow and I can't get out
-Being followed round an airport by a boy in a wheelchair and the guy who pushes his wheelchair. Occasionally the one in the wheelchair would take a bite out of his pusher's hand.  Then I had a followup nightmare where the wheelchair guy was crawling around my house trying to get me.

That's just what I can remember now.  No I'm not disturbed or anything.  I just have an imagination that likes to try and disturb me. All of those dreams are 100% real dreams.

I've always had a massive fear of being buried alive O.o theres an idea for you pixel artists without ideas. Wouldn't be sure how to pixel it though.

@ Jaeden- loving your piece so far.

Date Posted: 30 August 2007 at 5:15am
I agree kriss... not really a plesent place to be when your mind (and heart) is still working...

And Jaeden, your piece is scary... i hope i will never face such monsters in my dreams... ^^

And about me... I decided not to join... I have school, another piece at the moment I am working on, so I'm too busy...

Here's my very early WIP - just basic line art atm (I'm going to have to work fast to get it done in time).

It's also my first attempt at a full pixel piece other than one or two 16x32 game sprites. It's going to be colour.

Which should I go with - cracked glass, or no crack?

 
I'll post the story when I've decided on one picture.

Date Posted: 02 September 2007 at 9:21pm
I would say without cause it's kinda disturbing me when I am looking at the picture
Or maybe make it smaller (although there is not much time..)

Hmm, I think you're right. The glass crack doesn't really work very well. Okay, I'm submitting this:



STORY
As a very small child, I had a recurring nightmare that I was in my kitchen and, looking out the window, saw a great dark cloud moving toward me. I knew instinctively that the cloud was somehow evil and ran from it, hiding under the table as I had nowhere else to go. The dream would always end with the cloud pressing against the large kitchen windows and with me being certain that, any minute, it would break through...
