Tag As FavoriteComment		Petrefax is a character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman and also has a comics of his own. (Good one.) Master Klaproth's apprentice and certaily a talented mortician and undertaker. His appearance and complexion shouldn't look so 'undead', but I like him that way. Black ink, coloured pencils and some watercolour.

I'm sure it's just the lighting of the room that makes him look so undead. Very cool picture, but I'm expecting something bad to happen! The pose and lighting are very suspenseful.

When I saw this pic, I felt I should say something, but now, as I'm trying to, I realize that I don't know what to say. The pic is beautiful. Everything seems to be exactly in place. There are so many positive things to say about this pic, but I just don't find the right words. Oh well. ^^

:-) Helena Štěpánová replies: "Oh, thanks...1There's so many interesting "supporting" characters throughout the whole series... Petrefax, Cluracan, Klaproth, Hob Gadling... But drawind death or dream is much easier...;-) Black&white, big hair...1"
