Description An old one from 2002. Took me a looong time.

This is a representation of the end of Neil Gaiman's wonderful book, Neverwhere.

The lady Door has opened a portal to someplace very far away. Trouble ensues.

I got my hands on a copy of the British TV movie while I was working on this, and the guy that played the Marquis DeCarabas was so good, I tried to make my Marquis (chained to second post on left) resemble the actor.
Everybody else's look comes from Gaiman's descriptions in the book.

Original file is a gigantic 20" x 30" inches, so unless you have an unusually large monitor, you might want
to check out this detail shot:

I read this book years ago and I'm a bit fuzzy with the details. Who are the dudes with the cutlery?

LOVe this! You did an awesome job. My only nit pick is that Door was still shackled on one side of her body when she was opening the door.
