Dreamer # 3 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In the short story, “The Castle” a Dreamer gets a personal tour of The Dreaming and is introduced to many of the residents.

This man is that Dreamer.

He appears on the first and last page of “The Castle,” which was originally published in Vertigo Jam # 1, but has been collected in The Kindly Ones.

In the published comic we never see the Dreamers face and so Max had to interpret the character and he did a fantastic job. I really like the textures he used and the use of ripped paper and newspaper. It adds a really neat effect to the portrait.
