СОН СМЕШНОГО ЧЕЛОВЕКА

Федор Достоевский

"The Dream of a Ridiculous Man"
by Fyodor Dostoevsky


After I read it, I knew that I just had to draw something about it. And perhaps I will have to draw more. It gave me such a......ambigious, abstract feeling......something vaguely familiar. It is an absolute short- story masterpiece.
After researching to find the Russian spelling, I came across an animation by Alexander Petrov dealing with the story. Whoever you are, if you love surrealism and good animation, YOU MUST SEE THIS :wow:

Part 2: [link]
Part 3: [link]

Quite possibly the loveliest animation and adaption I have ever seen. Too bad it's in Russian without subtitles, but it's pretty easy to follow if you know the story. Here's a quick synopsis: [link]
or you can read the whole thing if you want: [link]

Fantastic! I'm a huge Dostoevsky fan, so I love that you've done something relating to that.
Anyway... Really nice composition! I like the contrast between the cool blue and the warm maroon.

Yeah, Dostoevsky is amazing!! Have a favorite story of his? I'd say that Crime and Punishment would be my favorite. :) Thanks!

My favorite (and probably favorite book of all time) is Notes from underground. It's just amazing!
