Dreamer # 81 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In Season Of Mists, Dream decides to return to Hell to rescue Nada, his former lover. He does not make this decision lightly because he is aware that this visit could lead to his death.

Prior to embarking on his journey, he travels through the dreams of people to eventually visit Hob Gadling.

This is one of the dreamers that Dream travels through in order to find a bottle of wine to bring to Hob.

This dreamer appears in Sandman # 22, on page 15 in panel 2.

In the published comic, there is very little detail given to these random dreamers. Max brings this character to life with his realistic details and line work. I really like the lines and the colors used to really accent this character’s face. Max’s choice of lines feel deliberate and are perfectly placed. I really like taking the time to really look at the subtle details of portraits like this.
