Description
Like most of the stuff I upload to my gallery this should be in the scraps
, But I can't help it, I haven't posted anything in ages! And this turned out ...interesting (Even though I lost control and patience as usual(but fun nevertheless)).I was trying to forget about a test I was supposed to be a preparing for 
There's a problem with his eyes. They're supposed to be black with tiny white stars in the place of pupils. Instead they look like normal eyes. Well, can't expect much from something done in less than half an hour :/
I think I've mentioned this before someplace. But the Sandman has popped up in my dreams a couple of times or so (and totally out of the blue!). It's like I've come face to face with the personification of Dreams himself in his own realm. Trippy!!! Then again I come across all sorts of weird characters, (including my own). I should draw them. All the ones I can remember vividly at least.
The Sandman (c) Neil Gaiman

aaaah, now that I've finally started reading Sandman, I immediately recognized who this is. True, the eyes could look more creepy and like him, but whatever. I like it.

How lazy can one be with commenting! *kicks self* (to the point that I seem to be starting every comment upon everything with this! Argh!)
Anyways, oh mi! Half an hour for this loveliness! 
I actually thought you might have done this with one of those brush pens!

Lovely? This? XD Thank you *^^*! Don't worry about it! I haven't been very responsive around DA either (regrettably). (Especially when it comes to posting anything decent/finished XD)
By drawing fast I hope to avoid the overly critical demon of self doubt which usually shows up If I linger too long on a piccie. But drawing fast also means there's a 99.9% of messing up real bad v.v and thus summoning the demon even faster
I'll never be able to figure out how people can show a characters eye color on such scales either -_-. My characters already have such puny eyes, only drawing portraits or bust shots helps (or chibi's!:3).
Brush pen's are nice, but me still prefers an old brush and cheap ink instead *is a bum even in the use of art material*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah... but drawing slow slow slooow means one loses that one loses the strong unhesitating lines, at times? I mean, that's what I love about all of your work (half of which is resting in your scraps for some reason! D: ) - it all flows so well! Doesn't look blocky constructed, fakey at all! *Bad describing skills with even more bad grammer!
Ehem... I have brush pens but I'm such a silly wimp that I refuse to use them to the fullest! D: *just uses the delicate delicate tip for the thinnest lines*
Random totally off topic stuff: (It's your fault... with the starry eyes and all... >___>' ) Did you ever manage to get your hands on The Last Hero?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The last hero? *goldfish memory span* I was supposed to get it from where, is it available someplace 8D? I now have the time to read what I want to read again! So I think I'll start with it if I can get it :3. Oh hey and what about that comic book lady's shop?
I think I have brush pens too somewhere, but I refuse to use them because they're so new and shiny and pretty. 90% of my gallery should be in the scraps v.v, (considering I'm hardly ever serious about anything 8D) But thank you for the lovely compliments

Awesome! Very stylized, love the use of line <3.
Your story reminds me of when I met this lady in my dreams... who was supposed to be like some dream guardian. .... it gets weirder.... I was trying to control my dream at the time.. and the dream guardian was there to stop me. Her gaze was so intense... I kinda agreed not to control my dreams and I never have been able to control them that well since...
And I wasn't the only one to see her....
I kid you not. ^__^;

Thank you
Whoaaa! Now that's quite a dream indeed 0_o!!. There was a point when I could control my dreams a bit too, but now the second I realize I'm dreaming I wake up >_<. I wonder If I've confronted her too and I don't even remember it happening? I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up in my dreamscape as well now. I dream about the randomest things (Like surfing DA in my dreams too 
*loves discussing dreams XD*

Your welcome!
Buu, that's no fair. That would be so eerie if you did run into her without knowing it! I dream about a lot of random things too and love talking about dreams as well
I always get weird ones around the holidays... like last year. Robin Hood was standing over a small lake with rocky edges. He shot into the water and struck a fully cooked turkey that was jumping out of the water. Pretty... random ^__^;.
And another time I found myself in a dungeon fighting one of the Toho monsters with King Koopa as my ally O.o;. My only weapon... was a Christmas Tree.
Soem of the things I dream about.. make me feel like a total dork ^__^;.
Have you had any other strange dreams?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha, Christmas trees would make nice weapons, a little hard to weild though XD?
Don't worry, I have the randomest/strangest dreams ever too! But I'm very poor at recalling them, I just remember bits and pieces.
A couple of weeks back I had this dream where there was this spaceship thingy made up of hundreds of translucent glowing cubes. It was carrying thousands of babies/little kids to another planet many light years away (WTF?). There's an explosion somewhere on the ship and the cubes stop glowing and disappear leaving the babies floating in space 0.O. but INCREDIBLY weird... I can't even find the words to describe it.
And then there are the 'fangirl/dork' dreams
Once long ago I even had a glimpse of Sailor Mercury XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, yes they are XD,
Awesome! It's nice not to be alone
Holy cow! That is a weird dream XD. It's like the Three O Clock fairy goes to SPACE and plays with glowing legos! I wish I could see the ship, it sounds so neat o.o;. Very weird!
Oh yes... I have those too ^__^;... I had so many fangirl/dork dreams about the same character that ... it became a thing for some friends to tease me about ^__^;. I've had some fan dreams recently.
Awesome XD. The Sailor senshi tend to visit my dreams from time to time XD. Last night infact... but they were only as dolls. Really neat hard plastic figurines. The best looking one was Haruka in casual clothes.. and there was a Sailor Luna set that came with almost the whole cast... though Luna was the only one from PGSM the others were from the anime. O.o But this bratty kid almost took them all before I could grab them XD. *DORK*

Ahaha, such dreams are so annoying, it's even worse when you end up buying something cool and get up to discover it was only just a dream XDD and the stuff doesn't even exist 8D!

Oooh, Lord Morpheus himself! He's gorgeous. I like how subtly defined his face is against the darker lines of his hair and robe.
And you've been having dreams about him. *gasp* This must mean that you're about to go on strange and wonderful and monstrously imaginatively twisted adventure sometime and sort of save the world and/or your soul!
Ah, Marria, where have you been these past months?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you, 
Umm 8D, the problem with my dreams is the fun ones are really short, and I remember only glimpses :/.
I think I'm trying to make up for slacking the whole of last year away (Looong work hours, relearning maths (unsuccessfully), scholarship application stuff *gack* and protest rallys etc

Fabouloso
.......to quote Haris,"sex. hai buhat sex. hai" he suffers from the NCA syndrome, sufferers tend to create interest and scandal by creating there own abbrevaitions.......
wah! the lines are so lovely and interchangable from soft to sharp
the line is just enigmatic
It has this energy and at the sametime its kinda mellow
wah wah wah! kamal ho giya
and you were going to scrap this noooooooooo!!
I forbid it!
anyway I'm a sucker for black and white, chiaroscuro type things
you should tell everyone to full view
what medium ink and reed pen???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naa, I'm not going to scrap it, not for the time being. Maybe in the future when I start producing stuff which is more than a doodle :/. I'm glad you like the sporadic-ness of the line. It's cheap sem-diluted dollar ink and a brush. I love drawing with reed pens, I should try that out again too! Thank you

Your lines are so flowy and fluid and graceful. D:

Yeah, it happens... but the excitement stays with you all day. Nightmares have a similar effect, too...

I love the eyes!! That guy is sooo cool! (i assume he's a guy because he was called a LORD and not a lady or anything so.....) But yes! Very well done for a drawing made in less than half an hour!!

A lot of mine should be in scraps, but i want the attention. XD But you have no excuse because you hardly post!
Besides, i checked on the scraps button when managing my friends, so even if you did put it in there, i'd still get updated on your lovely sketches! X3

Thank you I'm just having those silly self confidence issues with my art. I mean, I'm grateful to have the skills I have, and I've come a long way but there's an incredibly long way to go before I can actually have exhibit my artwork or have it published. I might be a fast drawer but it seems to take me longer to improve, especially with my poor patience. Bah, I'm babbling

I don't blame you, i'm the same way even. I understand where you're coming from. XD Muahahaha. Patience always seems to be an issue though. >w>"

but you *can* finish drawings, and such detailed ones too @_@ XD

Thats only when i feel like it. I get bored in class remember? XDD Other than that, i find excuses to slack off and not finish something. Speaking of slacking off, i posted a new G themed contest.

This is pretty
This is slightly random, but...he kind of looks like the Nightstalker here. ._.
(Which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing seeing as in every description of him I've ever read, they call the Nightstalker handsome)

I don't mind the randomness at all, in fact it's pretty interesting! Thank you so much for the comment
