Kyrielle (illustrated by Ron Chan)

Kyrielle is one of four citizens from the Necropolis Litharge trapped in World’s End during the storm.

She is always seen with Klaproth, Eucrasia and Petrefax, although her relationship to these characters is unknown.

Kyrielle appears several times throughout the Worlds’ End storyline.

I really like Ron’s drawing of Kyrielle. She definitely has the whole gothy Necropolis thing going on.

Resident Of The Dreaming # 19 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

This character is one of the many residents of The Dreaming that gathered to hear Morpheus speak prior to going to Hell to rescue Nada in the Season Of Mists storyline.

This background character is definitely awesome. I can’t help but wonder if he is somehow related to the Nybbas or the Great Spider who both appear in The Kindly Ones.

Max did an amazing job with this character. I don’t know if you can tell from the scan, but there is a definite texture to this character’s body. I really like it.

As with all of Max’s portraits there is a drawing on back of this one. The back portrait is pretty cool as well, so I thought you’d want to see both.

Here is The Resident Of The Dreaming…

and here is the painting on the back...

Dead Man # 110 (illustrated by Lars Brown)

When Orpheus goes into the underworld to rescue his wife he presents himself before Lord Hades and Queen Persephone and sings them a song about grief and love. As he sings, the dead begin to cry and float in the air.

This Dead Man is one of the dead who began to float during Orpheus’ song.

She can be seen in The Sandman Special # 1, Page 35, panel 2.

Lars seems to really have a knack for drawing dead people. He did a fantastic job with this character.

Dead Woman # 16 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

Wow. Max did an amazing job with this Dead Woman. I really like the colors he chose and the line work. Even the angle is unique and fun. This is a lovely portrait.

This Dead Woman is one of the many dead people who are in Hades as Orpheus attempts to rescue his deceased wife, Eurydice.

She can be seen in The Sandman Special # 1, page 33, panel 1. She is to the right.

Here is the original panel in which she appears as well as Max’s portrait of her.

Dead Man # 14 (illustrated by Ron Chan)

This is another Dead Man.

He’s been drawn by Ron Chan, who used a white color pencil on a piece of black foam core, giving the character a pretty cool effect.

This Dead Man can be seen in The Sandman Special # 1 (Song Of Orpheus) page 31, panel 4. He is in the front row and is located on the left.

Dead Woman # 23 (illustrated by Lars Brown)

As Orpheus continues to sing, the dead start to rise up from the Underworld and float in the air. They were deeply moved and some even began to cry. This disrupted the standard order of the Underworld, which did not please Lord Hades, but seemed to amuse Queen Persephone.

This Dead Woman is one of the dead who began to float during Orpheus’ song.

She can be seen in The Sandman Special # 1, Page 33, panel 3. There is a lot of dead people in this panel and so I thought it might make it easier if I just point out the actual character instead of trying to tell you specifically where she is located.

Lars did a great job with this character. I really like that she appears to be floating based on how Lars positioned of her body.

Dead Man # 7 (illustrated by Ibrahim Moustafa)

Here is another Dead Man. There sure are a lot of these guys.

This Dead Man was illustrated by Ibrahim Moustafa. I really like how he included the thrones of Lord Hades and Queen Persephone in the background.

This particular Dead Man appears in The Sandman Special # 1 (Song Of Orpheus) page 31, panel 3. He is in the third row and is located in the middle. He’s the short dead man.
