Posted July 6, 201410 yr Delirium, youngest of the Endless and sister of Dream. My second bust based on Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series. I liked the light in the background, so didn't edit the photos much. Enjoy!

July 6, 201410 yr Wow, this is marvelous! So is Dream. I hope you plan on doing all seven, I'd love to see them!
July 6, 201410 yr These are excellent and very imaginative. I'm glad I didn't see them before I went to bed... They're scary
July 6, 201410 yr Author Wow, this is marvelous! So is Dream. I hope you plan on doing all seven, I'd love to see them! Maybe not all seven, but a couple more may happen. That would be quite the task. :P
July 7, 201410 yr Wow! Outstandingly scary and brilliant use of weird pieces and color palette! Congrats!
July 7, 201410 yr These are really mental (in a good way). Were you under influence when you made those

July 7, 201410 yr Wow this is very good! I also realy like the hair, and the eyes! This is my second post.
July 7, 201410 yr Yes! I'd been hoping you'd do this! In terms of critique, I'm not quite as fond of the facial sculpting on this one as I am with Dream's. There are some nice contours along the sides of the face but it quickly peters off once you reach the front, which is mostly a flat surface. And from my recollection, that's not quite consistent with many depictions of Delirium, who often seems to have fuller cheeks and a generally younger-looking face. The hair, however, is spot-on, along with all the little things living in it. The torso section is also great and I like how you did the eyes (which, being more realistic than Dream's, I can only imagine were much harder on this model). Are you planning any others? Death would obviously be a popular choice but I imagine her beautiful face would be even harder to depict adequately than Delirium's. Destiny would be interesting, and possibly one of the easiest, given how much of his face is covered by his hood. Whatever you do next, I can't wait to see it!

I had some curved cheeks in there originally, but they made her look too much like a creepy doll so I removed them. I may rework the face a bit, as I am also not happy with the mouth, but keeping her to scale with Dream was my biggest priority. The whole face structure is a fragile mess of SNOT, but I agree that something should be done. Thanks for the comment, constructive criticism is always helpful :). Death is the last one I am considering doing, given popularity as you say, but yes, I am dreading the face, especially if I go for her eye tattoo. I actually think Destiny's hood would be very hard, as I would want it to contour and fall like real cloth would. Despair seems fun, Desire would be very hard as it must be attractive, and Destruction would just be a big red haired guy. Death seems most likely if I plan to continue, I'll just have to replenish my white curved slopes first. Edited July 7, 201410 yr by Hyler Talliwell

July 8, 201410 yr so very nice! I'm a huge Gaiman fan and have all the sandman comics as well as the new ones... do you have any instructions on this ? - specially sandman ? :)

July 12, 201410 yr Marvelous! So many ingenious examples of NPU throughout, but I REALLY like the eyebrows and eyes...inspired.
