Description anyone ever read "neverwhere"? it's a book by neil gaiman... it's totally rockin'.
this is how i've always envisioned Door, one of the main characters, and i've never managed to get a decent drawing of her... until now.
i was playing around in photoshop at work and here it is!

You forgot to mention: Hearts and Minds of People Everywhere property of Neil Gaiman.

That's a lovely Door. My favorite characters were always the wolf and the fox, though.

Aw, dang. I forgot about the Marquis. I'm pleased by anyone who requires you to turn thrice widdershins before you can say hello.

i've been meaning to get ahold of the mini seriese and check it out. i hear their Door looks a little bit more like "Sandman"s Death, though.

I haven't read the book all the way through, but I do have the mini series on DVD. It's low budget, but it's still pretty cool. In a way that does sort of look like Door. She's cool : )

Ahhh I really like your version of her, it somehow fits right in with how I thought of her too.

Loved that book. Especially the baddies (I even drew 'em once!).

Your Doors is fun.

I love neil Gaiman to death, and somehow I've never read more than one of his books.
Lovely character!

I just finished reading Neverwhere... how amazingly timely.

I love this--it's very much Door, particularly the clothes. Heh.

i love neil gaiman, he's so expressive, "Coraline" is by far my favourite book [not just of his but of all the books I've read]. I'm going to try and watch MirrorMask tomorrow, oh it looks so incredible.
i adore her stockings, for whatever reason i've always admired the way artists portray ripped stockings [i know i know, how odd].

Neverwhere is definitely awesome. I really love your Door, it fits her character very much. Sad and wise but also so innocent and open at the same time.

Ah, man. I was so tempted. I read a couple of his other books...and seriously brought this halfway to the register and was like...naaaw. And now I wish I'd gotten it :/
This is really amazingly neat. Her hair is uhmayzing. So many different colourrrrs. I love the style of shading and colouring you did. And those tights? If they're tights. (if not, sorry) look ripped and real and awesome.
