Wanted to draw my own mindscape in the style of Psychonauts, as I have encouraged some of my friends to do the same. It's really fun.

To be honest, I don't think I'll ever finish this. But I figured I ought to share what I whipped up thus far.

My mind used to look like one thing, but somewhere down the line... let's just say I modified my psyche. Now I'm much more of a "head in the clouds" type person, so I went literal. I don't think you can go wrong with floating islands in the sky.

Added the castle (of which I don't know/care about accurate architecture), because I both love fantasy and kind of live in my own fantasy world. I also needed a location to "organize" my thoughts. It's something that's dressed to look like it's together and sound, but really, it's disorganized.

While most Emotional Baggage is in hiding, there is the occasional bag out in the open. Nothing special with the Memory Vaults except that they have mini-wings on the sides, as they are a personal symbol.

I wanted to do something interesting with the Nightmares as well. Still fiddling with a couple designs, but I decided to make them butterflies. (I freaking love butterflies, FYI.) Part of the reason for this is because they live in an environment where flying is necessary. The other reason I made this choice is because I wanted them to be beautiful. These creatures tend to roam free and mind their own business. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

I seem to have forgotten the Figments and Censors. Oh well, I'll get to them another time.

You can interpret my mental world as much as you like. Hurr.

Enjoy~!
