My Brother The Dreamer -pencil

Description

My brother was a dreamer, back when we were young he had this dream to build a submarine made of wood and a helicopter made of wood as well, he also wanted to build a jet pack also made of wood, because it was the only available material lying around.

I am the eldest of us three by the way, and i would just laugh at his crazy ideas, "a submarine made of wood? how will it submerge if it's made of wood?" I'd ask my self. Then one day i saw him gather up pieces of wood and started forming some sort of propeller, nailing them altogether, you could see in his face how serious he was. i just watched.

Even though he ran out of wood, he was still determined to build a propeller-type flight pack, he wanted to fly.

My brother and I used to be inseparable, he looked up to me, he would go where i would go, we were like brothers.

But came a time we became distant to each other, my so called friends did not want my brother tagging along, so i did something I regretted for the rest of my life, it as my own fault why as we grew up we became distant. I chose other people rather than family. Now that we're all grown up, I'm trying to pick up the pieces, trying to catch up, trying to build something i totally neglected.

We're somewhat okay now, but still, if i had not chosen others our bond would have been a lot better, i am happy for what i have, yet i regret causing him that pain, because of me the dreamer in him faded. This is the story behind this piece. I created a world where my brother and his dreams met.

This is my vision.

I made this as a testament to my brother, for my love for my brothers and for the rest of my family and to those who stuck with me even though i screwed up a lot of times.

Thank you for your time and for viewing.


Entering the pencils, just in case the it appeals more to the judges, not too confident with the colored version, no more time to double check..x_x;

Again many thanks!

I can feel a lot of love you have for your brother. This piece alone shall melt the ice around his heart.
In the world of this image, dreams really come true.
I'm happy for him that in that world of yours, he managed his dreams to come true. It's a very nice gift.
If there's something he values about the past of you together, he should value this piece as well.
