Embryonic Silicon Dreams (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In The Kindly Ones, Dream spends the week leading up to his confrontation with The Kindly Ones doing his regular duties.

On Truesday, in the afternoon, he went to the far ballroom and spoke to the cluster of Embryonic Silicon Dreams. He told them about other machines that once dreamed.

The Embryonic Silicon Dreams appear in one panel of The Kindly Ones. They can be seen in Sandman # 64 on page 5, panel 4.

Max did an absolutely amazing job with this character. Sadly, the scan cannot capture the beauty of this piece. Some of the colors don’t work the way that they should. There are a lot of bits of gold throughout the painting and there is a texture to his portrait that I really like. I wish that you could see this in person. It’s pretty spectacular.
