In Destiny's Garden

Ever since my baby girl was born a few months ago, I started reading to her the very beatyfull Jill Thompson's "The Little Endless Storybook". From all the books my wife and I got to her, some new and others from our on collection, this one became by far her farovite.

It has been a delight to me reading this book for her since I got to spend a little more time with some of my favorite characters ever, the endeless family from Neil Gaiman's Sandman universe.

For some time now I've been wanting to make a fan art featuring any of Neil Gaiman's characters, I though about giving a face to Shadow, Wednesday, or the Anansi's borthers (the list could go on and on), but since I've been sharing this new world with my baby girl I decided to make her some baby friends.

Creating the Scene:

First I knew I couldn't make it too big so I wouldn´t finish it.

Then, I started to think about the Sandman universe.

I know, as Cain has already said, the endless were never babys and kids. But if they were, they weren´t "born" all at the same time, so they would be, in apperance, one a little older than the other.

Based on this I decided to make the first three. Destiny, Death and Dream. The scene could pass in a time before all the seven existed. Maybe the three of then were spending some time in the older brother's realm, just hagging out.

Base on this ideia, and after a few scketchs I knew what I wanted.

The project was first called "The beggining, in a Garden". But I quickly desliked this name.

I started to call it "A little Nightmare in Destiny's Garden", which I thought it was more like a great Short film name, and I couldn't loose my focus making this project bigger than I could handle right now.

So I just named it "In Destiny's Garden".

This is the process tho creating the scene. I hope you like it

Thank you Neil, thank you Jill.
