Yes. Yes me too. I do hope hope more continue to find me. Heh... I know this a very late response. My apologies. I hope you have a wonderful day and continue on with more artwork along side of the Endless of the Sandman series. I would indeed love to see more.

Yes. I think that there should be more like this that should find me. Heh... Buy, yes, this is a very late response, I am aware of that. My apologies. I do hope you have a wonderful day and continue on with more of these Sandman Images.

This is AWESOME. Well done you. Dynamic is exactly the right word.

I shouldn't nitpick, but I'm thinking maybe the Ruby doesn't quite belong in this picture? Since it is in the picture I'd like to say that you painted it beautifully. This could be a slightly different reality for all I know.

Unlesss someone told you the story you should read so many Sandman issues to get to the Hell´s key part. Like Morpheus you are a dream maker, please help to a prentice and tell me: which brushes do you use and where to download it for photoshop?

rubendevela In reply to Espectre [2012-03-15 01:07:32 +0000 UTC]

Hello! I basically use the basic brushes, I just tweak the opacity and scattering settings

rubendevela In reply to Espectre [2012-03-15 02:20:05 +0000 UTC]

Oh, right, I used something for the red squidgy shapes in the background, I'm not sure I remember anymore...

Espectre In reply to rubendevela [2012-03-15 02:25:06 +0000 UTC]

Backgrounds are important, even so always underestimated, however i´m interested on the mid tones to make the character look realistic.

rubendevela In reply to Espectre [2012-03-15 15:31:07 +0000 UTC]

yeah, that was just the round brushes in photoshop I just kept resampling with the eyedropper in between brushstrokes using the ALT key

My GAWD I think I'm in LOVE....
Seriously though, I just...can't...stop...STARING in AWE at this picture!! I do NOT know how you did it but somehow this picture gives me all the hope in the world, yet makes me feel miserable at the same time because there's no chance in HELL I'm ever going to be this amazing..
Anywho, kudos to you and your brilliance
BY THE WAY, would you mind if I used this picture in a video tribute to Morpheus?? IT DESERVES TO BE SHOWN TO THE WORLD!!

Aww really?? Well sure thing! Just type in "Morpheus-Enter Sandman Preview" on youtube and it should be the first vid. ^^ Your pic is somewhere in the middle!

He actually looks like a guy who appeared in a dream of mine a while ago called Diesel, particularly in Volume 2: Doll's House.

I wonder how many people, after seeing this, are actually going to read The Sandman series. Regardless, this is beautifully done, you didn't quite manage the starlight eyes, but still really good. Is that Matthew in the background or just a random crow/raven?

rubendevela In reply to vampyra142001 [2011-05-26 14:01:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's Matthew I don't think I got the beak just quite right
I tried the classic interpretation of the starlight eyes, but they seem to have been designed for inked artwork. I decided to take a risk here.
Thanks for the comment!
