But as in this moment I'm too busy with all my work waiting, I wasn't able to do a better and more complete depiction of this character, so I did this quicker and less complicated art piece that you can see here. Perhaps in the future I will have the opportunity to create a more acurate vision of this heroine which story I always found interesting .

Photoshop, around 10 hours.

It's Death, from the comic series The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. I always loved this character, is one of my favourites from my favourite writer, so I always wanted to do a picture of her. I have my opportunity this year, when the Phoenix Assotiations of Epic Fantasy asked me to do my version of her for an article about Neil Gaiman in their new online free magazine Imaginarios. If you read spanish, you can download it here: [link]

As some of you can recall, the title is taken from the first story in which she appears in the comics .

a promise of eternal love.
A smile, a lie, a last kiss,
and a simple 'wait for me'.

'Till death do us part', you said,
and Death will part us for sure.
But to hold from that day forward,
my enslaved soul was left down.

And I hear the frogs croaking songs
telling me that it's all my fault,
that I wait at the shade of the swamp
for a man that will never return.

Here, where the sun doesn't shine,
the only voice I can reach
is the sad song of a lullaby
of a bell that tinkle in the air.

And when Death comes,
will you cry for me?
Will you be there by my side
at the edge of my last breath?

Past the point of no return,
there's nothing left here for me.
My happy end is the curse
of a twisted fairy tale.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I supposse we could say this is like a twisted version of the Frog Prince tale, or something like that . I have the sketch of this one done since last year, but couldn't work on it because of the lack of time. So when I was able to work on it again, I spent most time than usual, trying to have all the fun possible .

there I will wait for your return.

I walk away around shadows,
listening moans of pain and despair,
but the voices of thousand ghouls
will not ease your memory in my head.

And now that leaves fall around Earth,
a golden carpet will lead you to me.
And with the cold wind of the winter,
six pomegranate seeds do their duty.

Here, deep in the Underworld
you will find our ebony throne,
and your voice of promises and whishes
will bring life to the eternal dreamers."

My own version of Hades & Persephone. In the picture I portrayed they both, with Cerberus. At the left we can see Charon in his boat and the river Acheron, and in the other side the river Phlegethon, made of fire.

There's a step by step of this one here: [link]

Done in Photoshop.

Edit: There's a tutorial of this one available in the free online magazine "Do Not Read". You can download it here: [link]

Edit 2: This is NOT a fanart of the character Bella from Twilight. I painted it far before I even know about that book, and it was not by any chance an influence in this case. So stop asking and using it as a fanart of that series, please .

and at dawn I saw again
that it was only a dream.

Last night I walked with you
all around by this same place
and today I know I would'nt find
what I have come to look for.

If only the night found
some place in the eternity
nor anywhere in the world
would have greater gift than to wish.

If a day my request could arrive
to the bottom of the well
its echo would repeat:
"I wish I don't wake up again"."

Don't look for me, traveller, you will not find me here.
Of this place I have gone away for a never more return.

Aracne, Aracne, your web, where is it?
Of the trees of the forest doncella's hair are falling.

Damned is my destiny, nobody I can be shown.
Great punishment prevailed to me to weave this loom to end.

Aracne, Aracne, your web, where is it?
On the trees of the forest the moon your silhouette trims.

I don't know how to escape nor where I can be hidden.
My presence causes hatred, fear, grief and pain.

Aracne, Aracne, your web, where is it?
Between the trees of the forest the wind whispers your pains. "

This work was made in photoshop 7.

I see to shine the lights of the night
and the wayfarers' riot
that is heaped in the streets.
The city that never sleeps.
Cold pieces of metal
that get up as giants.
Empty stones of feelings
that on having touched them fall apart
like in a dream.
And after the shades that project
their heavy structures
hide themselves the subjects of the night,
those who follow my sign,
those who wait for my orders.
And they know that nobody believes in them.
They know that it does stronger to them.
Cause of it they watch over every movement,
here, on the buildings of the city.
And you? You believe in them?"
