New Painting: <For the rest of it>

Yiming Wu
Recently I just came out of the isolation and thought let me finish some planned paintings so here I go :D
This year I'm trying to finish a series of images from my thumbnail drawing books, where a lot of ideas comes from half-daydream and dreams, I recently developed this habit of doing this half-awake imagination, that leads to pretty awesome imageries, this particular painting is one of them (well the thumbnail itself is from about a year ago.). I could share some of my thumbnail drawings for you guys if anyone interested.
size 10000xSomething px. I just found that bigger image sizes give me more freedom to draw textures and smaller details as needed and by zooming out they will look more natural.
Done in MyPaint.
(Well you guys can also go to my blog: ChengduLittleA [dot] com, where I post all my recent paintings)

Nice work, @Yiming Wu!
And an interesting process, this one you've been trying out! I'm curious, how does it work exactly: you're in a sort of "meditative zone" and these images come to your mind, then you sketch them as thumbnails after you "come back" / wake up, is that so? Or are you able to sketch while you're in this "half-awake" state?
Cheers!
Hi Liandro! I'd say it's probably happening like that indeed. Sometime I also write down some notes about the image mid-way. I haven't got a definitive way of working on those "image generation", anything kinda goes, don't limit in a certain way. Mostly it's just not be disturbed and in a quiet state.
I'm also able to sketch in that state, it's like automatic writing/drawing, like stuff happens when you are on a telephone call. But I think most of the "weirdness" happens when you look back and think wait that isn't right, but quite interesting.
Oh my god you reply to 8 people in an hour.
Anyway,hello @Yiming Wu,this is a pretty good painting,I quite like the gesture on the guy's thats running.Do you want any critisim on this and the new painting you posted?
