Description
I vowed once that if I ever got to meet Neil Gaiman, I'd make him something nice because he hasn't sued me, and has in fact pimped my stupid comic a few times now. So, in a mad rush, I drew a picture. The scan isn't the best, actually, but I think you get the idea.Pens. Lots of goddamn pens.

That is amazing. I get Morpheus, but I'm a tad lost on placing the other two characters. Are the two creepy smily guys from Neverwhere? Not sure where the last character is from......

Haha, I need to find more of his works, I just barely read "Good Omens" and have yet to scratch the surface of all his works.

F***k this is soo much more awesome then the pic i made for him when i went to a book signing...oh well mine was a shitty mirrormask doodle(this was mostly due to the pen dying in the middle of his lecture dammit!!) when i was waiting in line.

I typed in "Neverwhere" and this is all that came up. Disappointing for lack of quantity but quite satisfying in quality.

I know this was published years ago, before I even knew who the hell Neil Gaiman was (my life sucked then), but this... is wonderful. You've captured him so fantastically and so accurately.. I love it.

Neil Gaiman is sexy. Oh so sexy.
And you've captured it. XD I have yet to read anything by him besides Coraline, which is amazing. I plan to though.... :3

Just in case, I'm thinking this is it but...those two, the ones with the freaky teeth, are Croup and Vandemar, correct? (someone above said they were but they weren't certain, either. xD)

Nice work! ...Neil Gaiman is the only author I can think of who has fan-girls in the same way people like Brad Pitt have fan-girls. LOL Only more intelligent.

Don't know why but Neil kind of reminds me, in this picture, of Schmendrick from the Last Unicorn

Yay! It's wonderful to see such a great rendering of one of my litterary heroes. I love how you've surrounded him with his most iconic characters as well. Croup, Vandermar, Dream, Basset and Anansi. (Hopes she got it all right and doesnt sound like a complete dolt)

Lovely. I don't understand what the apple stands for. You should have put a lime in there instead. XD

It's for "Snow, Glass Apples."

The swirls and simple black/white color choice make this peice very eyecatching and fun. ^_^

Neil Gaiman is the man.
I had the chance to meet him once, but I didn't know who he was then. LOL Man, I did felt stupid when I knew I had actually been inches away from one of the most briliant contemporary writers.
Great hommage.

Oooh! I like this. I like this a lot. It's really neat in simple black and white, and the strange curly drawing style is real wicked. The details are highly enjoyable. And I love the spider for some reason
I like this one so much I'm faving it. Yup
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That is so great, the swirls and the sleek and looming figures in your style totally compliment Gaiman's writing style and hte imagery he creates, as well as some of the artist styles in the Sandman. Wonderful composition and choice of characters too... Heehee.

I've only read Sandman and Coraline, latter of them signed by Neil himself.

I'm just rereading American Gods, so of course I had to do a search on Neil. I love this, especially his eyes and the little curlies in his hair.

Neil Gaiman is obviously so cool.
Love your art style.

Wow.
That's pretty awesome. You're so lucky, it'd be a dream to get to meet Neil Gaiman.
Yeah, and Nice Hair's fucking fantastic.
Nice work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Heheh, I managed to meet him when he was in Singapore promoting Mirrormask the other day. And YES, he's as charming as we thought.
I'm also a big fan of 'Nice Hair', by the way.

Wicked. Very wicked. ...Sorry, but that's all I can think of right now...School has sucked all my creativity from me, I can't think right now.

i'm blown away by how well you captured his likeness in this. i guess i shouldn't be surprised since you've been drawing caricatures of him for lord knows how long. but still, it's your style, but realistic, but not... it's just really great. and he looks so pleasant.
other things that i really like are those freaky teeth, morpheus, and the little bit of boob.
although, his hand looks a bit weird.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That fucking hand. *laughs* That was a "oh SHIT I already inked it" moment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i hate those moments. at least you didn't try to redraw it in ink on top of it... without pencils. that's what i often do and the result is nothing but trouble.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Haha, that rules. He always looks so damned "dreamy" in all these pinups... i mean pictures. Ye'd better be working on something project DH over this coffee of yours because i've got nothin'
