Description
Just like every night, Timothée's imaginary friends came to visit him.The Librarian opened the book of Timothée's childhood and read: "Timothée, there isn't much time left. It will become more and more difficult for you to see us through the years to come."
"That's why", said the Cyclop, "we offer you this lightbulb to light you in the darkness. It's no ordinary lightbulb. Just let it shine, and you'll be able to see us again."
They used to visit you in your dreams too when you were younger. You just don't remember them very much.
Partly inspired by the following songs:

During the second part (drawing), I listened to [link]

I like this image alot, I would like to use it in a Rulebook for a roleplaying game where you play imaginary friends. Now this will most likely be used in a section that describes the "Nothing" which are imaginaries that cant become coherent with reality, and thus cant be played.

Do you have a link to something related to that game? Is it something you created?

I am in the process of creating the template. The template is to be used with the "White Wolf" game known as "World of Darkness". Here is a link to there wiki page [link]
I am not associated in any way with the White Wolf publishing company, I am just an individual fan wanting to make a roleplay template for World of Darkness where you play Imaginary Friends. I have always loved psychology and Imagination and all that, and noticed there has never been a RP where you play Imaginaries so I decided to make it myself. I am not far along in the production of the game but I was bouncing around on here looking for inspiration and I have got to say this picture looks like the "Imagao Major" which is a Council of creatures known as "Nothings" (Imaginaries that can not come into physical reality) that have retained their morality and are seeking to create a "better way" for all "Nothing".
There is currently nothing on the internet about Friends: The Imaginary because I am trying to keep it under wraps until I can get some more work done on it, you know get some more mechanics worked out for it, but it would be awesome to have some images to put in the first production of the rule set.

Amazing story concept!
The use of blur throughout it instead of multiple colours I really think pulls the piece together. LOVE IT!

Really great work, my personal favourite is the umbrella head guy.

I know you requested critique, but I don't know what to criticise. I love the concept and the picture is beautiful. Although blue is a cold colour you make it so warm and gentle in this picture, makes you feel safe. I love it!!

Thank you very much! I don't think the kid is visible enough at first sight, though.

Aw awesome I love all the shades of blue. If there's anything else to say, I do wish the focus was more emphasized on the tiny bed with Timothée on it, cos for a good minute, I couldn't find him in the picture

Yeah, he's a bit difficult to see... maybe I'll change that.

LOL! Well, the one on the left is some kind of priest.
I almost expect you to say "crap, I meant the one in the middle" or something like that, now!

Comme toujours de superbes créatures, ces monstres amicaux. J'aime beaucoup ton univers, c'est poétique
Petite remarque technique cependant : il aurait peut-être fallu que l'enfant et son lit se détachent un peu des créatures, j'ai eu du mal à le voir. Une couleur légèrement différente peut-être ? Même si évidemment tout est éclairé par ce bleu, il aurait peut-être fallu avoir un peu de vert, ou de violet sur le lit ou le pyjama de Thimothée pour bien le distinguer

Je crois bien que tu as raison au sujet du gamin, il est un peu perdu dans la masse.

Superbe ! Très bon choix pour la couleur du papier, qui rend parfaitement l'aspect onirique des personnages et du lieu. La qualité du dessin est toujours aussi belle.
En outre, j'adore tes choix de musique !
