Quick warning: I feel like some people might this a bit creepy; there's something that could be considered uncanny
So I had this dream last night, and in the dream was this weird cat-fox..... thing.... It looked like it was somewhere between a small cat, a fennec fox, an eevee, and Teto from Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind.
Here's a pic of Teto for reference:
And here's the weird/creepy part.
It had this really uncanny smile.
The smile was very large, almost too big for the creature's head, now that I think about it, and it had oddly hyper-realistic flat, broad teeth. I think its eyes were also really big. It looked like something that should've scared me, but, oddly enough, it didn't.
Now, in the dream, there were a bunch of other animals, like tigers, but they were realistic, or as realistic as they could be in a dream. So this one creature was really out of place.
I think in the dream I was working as some kind of zookeeper, helping to move some of the animals, and when I opened up the creature's cage (it was kind-of spacious, but not that big), and it..... attacked me.........? I'm not entirely sure, but I think that's what happened.
So I got it off of me, and I bargained with it.......? I don't remember if it was angry with me, but I remember saying something like, "I'll tell them you're fine," or, "I'll tell them you've been cleared," or something. Either way, I would have been lying, and I'm not sure if the creature could tell, or if whoever I would have been lying to would have known that I was lying.
I don't really remember what happened after that, but I think the dream ended shortly after the encounter.
I also feel like I should mention that I don't think I was in any way lucid during this part of the dream, but I could be wrong.
There was this one other weird part where I was somehow in Minecraft and close to bedrock, and I was in a cave system. I kept passing by this one place with obsidian and netheraack (I'm not sure how to spell it :|), and I kept recognizing it as the Overworld Nether.....? Like, if the Nether crossed over into the Overworld, and you could just get there by digging into it.
Anyways, since it's been pretty much all day since I woke up, I tried to draw it as best I could.
I considered drawing the other side of the face, but decided against ot because I didn't want to mess it up too badly.
And, not gonna lie, I feel like this creature could be fun to mess around with in terms of drawing.
