Description I drew this in pencil while watching "Singin' in the Rain" during my Language of Film class, and I added the fx in afterwards in Photoshop (which is why I listed it under digital art instead of traditional). The blue tint was added in.

I just love Death, don't you?

Death is a character from Sandman created by Neil Gaiman

Very clever of you to pick up on that. Most folks didn't.

Ah, so it was intentional? I wasn't sure because, like you said, I didn't see anyone else commenting on it. I thought I was maybe seeing thins. 83

People sometimes don't pick up on things like that, and I wasn't really drawing too much attention to it to begin with.

I know, I think I've seen her do it once or twice.

Personally, I like her curly-toed shoes.

You mean it was in the first trade? Are you talking about the scene in the park, when Dream went to see her?

Yup! When she beans him with a loaf of bread and all that.

I recently read my first story with death in it and I absolutely fell in love with her. good pic

What-the-Gaff In reply to Scottronica04 [2005-06-24 03:13:41 +0000 UTC]

So did I. She seems to have that effect. Neil Gaiman certainly knew what he was doing when he came up with the Endless.

Thanks. I never really finished reading Sandman, but I remembered that. "Supercalafragalisticexpialadocious!" (don't know if I spelled that right or not)

She looks incredibly happy ...
I suppose I would be too, if I had a reason to dance on streetlamps in the rain.
This is very nicely done. It's got a very happy, cartoony feel to it, with a little light-hearted casualness.

Thank you. It seemed to me that Death would be an appropriate character to put in this situation. Besides which, I'm working on coloring pencil drawings in Photoshop and I think this one turned out fine. I needed practice doing rain, too.
