19th Century Filipiniana Death

alamundo:

Oh my god, I have never made fan art before. I have entered a whole new realm of geekdom. Oh well, it’s worth doing once. This did not begin as fan art, it began with the desire to draw the outfit she is wearing. 

I’m a fan of the Sandman series and I like how the character of Death sometimes tweaks her clothing to match that of whatever place or time period she’s hanging about while doing her duty of collecting souls… but never losing her style of course. 

So here she is. Graphite and coloured in photoshop. Took about 2 days. 

I didn’t know I was the fan art type. 

Just check out how awesome this lady right here is.
Giving Gaiman’s Death a Filipina tinge? This brilliant idea did not cross my mind before. :) Two thumbs up!
