Dreaming in Black and White, Yume Nikki, Monoko/Monoe

[jack_of_none]

Title: Dreaming in Black and White
Creator: jack_of_none
Rating: PG-13
Warning: Incest (according to popular fanon, at least). Also Monoko is sort of rocking the body horror.
Size: 676x923 pixels
Prompt: Monoko/Monoe, monochrome fluff in a world filled with color
Notes: The White Desert is one of my favorite parts of the game, so I knew I had to draw this prompt when I saw it! Done with colored ink, for the most part. My previously well-behaved scanner made a right mess of some of the shading and I'm not sure how to fix it, but c'est la vie. If I can manage, I will find a better scanner and see if that helps. Also, I forgot that Monoko is not supposed to be wearing shoes. *headdesk*

Wow, this is really neat -- I love the framing effect of the color, the way it feels like all this vividness is crowding in around them from the edges of the frame.

Thanks! IThe game is fairly brightly colored with the notable exception of the monochrome area where you find these two, so I'm glad that came across.

I'm not familiar with the source material but I want to check it out after seeing this. I like a funky shapes and color combinations and the fact that I see something new every time I look at this piece. I'm rather fond of the tonal variations in their inky shadows as well. :]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

The game is actually freeware, so if you have access to a Windows PC you can download it and check it out. It's basically an atmospheric, surreal exploration game where you wander through the dreams of the main character. There's no dialog, no combat and a lot of walking, so it's not for everybody, but I think it's one of the most successful horror games I've ever played :3

Funky and cool! It has a sort of surrealist touch to it. :D

[jack_of_none]

Thank you! The canon is HIGHLY surreal, so I am glad I could capture that aspect of it.

[suzume]

Thanks a billion for drawing my prompt!!

I love how you worked in the atmosphere of the game around them, and I especially love how ALL of Monoko's hands are doing something, that's an amazing touch.
