Nah it looks perfect how it is.
Cause he was never really old but he wasnt really young, i think you got it right where it needs to be.

(as do I)

Oh this is very cool my dear! I'm a fan of Gaiman, but I haven't been able to find a copy of the comics yet.. le sigh lol
BTW, there is a fanart gallery- you might get some more love if you moved it there aye?
(btw, sorry about my quietness.. the new v7 is driving me bats..)

YES.
The internet needs more Neil Gaiman love. XD
Scratch that, maybe it's just MY comp.
This is beautiful. I really like how his eyes shine in contrast to the already contrasting background.
Lovely work, faved for sure.

Thank you so much! I know, I was somewhat distraught to find so few quality fan arts of Dream and the other Gaiman characters. Hopefully that will change soon.

Awesome! You read the comic too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, i only read the book of dreams (legal fanfics from the sandman world XD)i loved it.
the comic is too expensive here, and i really dislike the visual look of it.

I actually... eh... acquired the comic online using less than honorable methods. >_> But if the book is good, then I'll have to read that too! 
I think the art is a bit outdated myself (in the comic I mean), but then again I think it's from the 80s, which explains the style. I got used to it after the first book or so.

less than honorable metods XD it sounds great. the book is great, when you have the oportunity grab it. its mix - bitter, sweet, horrible. all in one.
have you read manga bout death? dont know the name.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know there is a manga called death-note, is that what you mean? I saw the movie they made of it but I haven't read it, it seems really interesting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, i mean manga about the old good Death (old sis of Dream). dont know whats name.
and death note is .... is.... how to say it? hm really overthought, that sometimes i think the creator didnt know what he is writing (all the scheming etc)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol yeah I find most really long popular manga become that way after a while. Oh yeah, I have the one of Death, haven't read it yet though, but I hope to soon. Have you read it?

seconded. the whole thing is really good.. though perhaps for his hair, the step from the vague big brush to the more visibe small brush a is a lil'big :$

That totally makes sense, I noticed that you were absent from my account for a while. I haven't been the best at keeping up with my watches, though... I hardly comment on stuff anymore. I should really get back on that, it's just that between college and work... well, you know the story.
