Illustrating Lord Dunsany

A year ago, when I was looking for a story to base my major project on, I found a short story by Lord Dunsany that had a fantastic and strange feel. I went back to it recently and started drawing what the the words evoked, the story of an old forgotten city, a place that only exists within the realm of dreams.
I wanted it to look fuzzy, like a fading dream but also dripping and scratched, like different layers tearing apart. Like an old memory of a place where reality and fantasy have started merging and you can’t quite remember what is true.
I really like where this is going so far, I haven’t illustrated the entire story yet but definitely plan on doing more on Lord Dunsany’s stories.
