Description
MY fav series of graphic novel is Neil Gaimen's Sandman, Oh boy do I have a thing for Morpheus! I think it was Eno's favourites gallery I was flicking through when I saw a piece of the Endless, I believe it was *CrisVector 's(check it out, it's awesome), and it just got me thinking when I was scribbling the other day that I haven't drawn morpheus in ages! This is the resulting piece that came of that particular doodling session! I wanted to really simplify all the characters, so here they are, in order of appearance: Desire, Despair, Destiny, Destruction, Death, Delirium and *sigh* Dream......dream......dream.....Related content

Hi, sorry for late reply. Do you mean in general? Different then how Destiny is portrayed in the comics? If so, no

It's alright. Like he should get a new design.
Why no?

I guess I hadn't even considered it until you asked, but having given it thought because the character exists in a written and visual format I can't really separate the existing visual from the character, does that make sense? Interested to know your thoughts on it though, how would you change it?

I understand, It would be like taking the costume out of Superman. The design is apart of the narrative.
If I had to change Destiny? We'd already know that they can be change form depending on who's looking and they can die, so I would write an in-universe story detailing it. Personality wise I the every DM ever would be fitting. His book would read as a chose your own adventure book with the table of contents being akin to a metaphysical google (being able to look up anything you want). His body is either a fully cloaked figure and we don't see the body (unknowable destiny) or a man with dice for eyes that can see the outcome for any situation.
Either that or a reference to this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_β¦
marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Destiny_β¦
I'm going to post a quick headcanon/theory. I think these 2 destinies are either twins or the same character. I think both incorporate the notion of free will and the idea that all actions have consequences. Whether they're twins or alternate forms, they exist together because by their very nature as a concept they must be nuanced. What I mean is some situations have so little options that it's kinda one road while others have so many that it's a hard choice; Or if you want to go narratively fighting fate vs obeying destiny. DC's version is the strict immovable version of destiny while Marvel's is the fluid version of the concept.

Wheeee, Destruction, Death, Del and Dream are so delightful.
Any reason for the order in which they are displayed? How come noone has asked this yet.
Anyway: Squeee!

Awk thank you. The order they are displayed is purely for aesthetic reasons; can't have Death and Dream beside each other etc.Β
So the shapes look more interesting and stand out more.

I thoroughly enjoy your work. I had written you back in November about getting your work tattooed and ended up getting Delirium on my shoulder with your permission. Now, I would love to get the rest of them down my right arm. Your thoughts? My email addy is: coolwhip3199@gmail.com

Despite the quirkiness, it's still very much them. A simple but damn near perfect representation of the Endless.

Thank you very much! Shows how well they were designed and written originally, their characters are so distinct, makes life much easier when you want to draw them

Very cute...though it might have been nice to see Dream at the beginning and the New Dream at the end.

Hmmmmmm, afraid there's only room for one Dream in my world

Aww, but I kind of like how Daniel/Dream looked all in white.
