A friend from the PencilJack Forums :iconzippyshift: commissioned me to draw Dream from Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN. I couldn't help going the extra mile to add in his sister, Death in the composition. Inked this with SuperBlack India ink and a Raphael Kolinsky brush.

When drawing Death, I had Zooey Deschanel in mind. I think she'd be great movie casting for Death! I didn't have anyone in particular in mind for Dream, but I was thinking about Edward Scissorhands' hair, which was inspired by the hair of THE CURE's Robert Smith. I seem to remember reading (somewhere) that Tim Burton and Robert Smith were friends.

I did this in one night, while watching a double feature of THE RUNNING MAN and PREDATOR on my computer. Friends kept me alert and motivated via a mic chat, so thanks to them for the excellent company! Zippy, I hope you enjoy the illustration!

Beautiful! the quality is of an high level and the character's are awesome, I love the retro feel and the male character dark feel brings back to my mind things like The Crow, The Cure, David Bowie and more awesome stuff like that, great artwork!

This is beautiful, and im in agreement with you about Zooey Deschanel, she'd be excellent. I like the layout and style :)

I love this piece :) Sandman is the comic that changed my life - opened the limitless possibilities of storytelling in the comic book medium. And you really captured its mood and beauty of that series - that sense of magic dwelling in our world.
