This was one of the topics for the Weekly Sketch Group over at the PencilJack forums. But instead of a 1 hour sketch, it got turned into a drawing I worked on till the wee early morning.

Whoops!

Always wanted to draw Death and Sandman for the longest time but never really felt like I could do them justice. Perhaps I'll work on Sandman next. This rendition of Death is based off of Neil Gaiman's fantastic Vertigo comic character Death.

[Edit: Wow thanks for the DD! I feel honored and it's great to get all the wonderful comments and favs from you all :]

i've always meant to read Sandman, just haven't gotten to it yet. either way though, this piece is incredibly beautiful. wonderful work!

Sandman is definitely a great read and the Death mini-series are great as well and easier to jump on to since they're short and tend to be self-contained. I highly recommend them!
