Reincarnation of Dreams🌿 (Patreon)

The finished piece!! This was a challenge for myself to reconnect with my old "semi-realism" style—and of course, to create something deeper and different.✨

This piece symbolizes the rebirth of the self, filled with light despite darkness and pain. The skeletal unicorn represents a worn, fragile, and unique armor made of broken dreams and illusions. Within it lies true vulnerability, vitality, and individuality. Though pierced by a golden arrow, the wound is necessary to release the pain—like a memory or event that hurts, yet also brings clarity. From it emerge golden butterflies, symbolizing the soul setting itself free. The scene is surrounded by lotus flowers and leaves, representing the ability to bloom despite deep adversity. Pain and inner beauty coexist, showing that in suffering, there is a chance to be reborn—and to be free.

Later I'll post it on social media 🤧~ By the way, I don't know what happened but Clip Studio didn't record my sketching process or the initial stages of this drawing, just from the point where I started working on volumes y-y my apologies for that. But still, let me know down below if you’d like me to share a speed-video starting from that point to the end c: ✨
