Get Vertigo

At my journal, I've got summaries of and some thoughts on Hellblazer #13-22 and #51. These issues, which include the "Fear Machine" arc, aren't collected in TPBs, but there's some good stuff.

If you're interested, this link will take you to the discussion on my journal.

I'm making it a project of mine to sketch portraits of all seven of the Endless: Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium. As of now, I've only done three: Dream, Delirium, and Desire. They took about a half an hour each.

I think I'll probably start some project later on to draw better versions of each of them, or at least go back and enhance my shading (since I only used a mechanical pencil). All things considered, though, I'm pretty happy with what I've got so far.


Title: Dream
Author Name: Loren S. (hitokoe)
Comic: Sandman
( DreamCollapse )


Title: Delirium
Author Name: Loren S. (hitokoe)
Comic: Sandman
( DeliriumCollapse )


Title: Desire
Author Name: Loren S. (hitokoe)
Comic: Sandman
( DesireCollapse )

I think next, I'll try to draw Death, then Destruction, Despair, and Destiny last. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with Destiny, since his face is usually in shadow.

Notes: Written for kangeiko in the comica_obscura challenge. I've only read through issue 41, so if I've been jossed, I don't know it yet. Big thanks to devildoll, lyra_sena and nifra_idril for the superspeedy betas full of helpful suggestions. All errors are mine. The first line in the second section is a direct quote from "Children and Monsters: Part Four."

I've posted some thoughts here in my own journal about homoerotic subtext, Constantine's sexuality, and the backstory similarities between Constantine and Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Okay, this is the cutest thing ever.
