Oh, this is wonderful. You did such a good job! I really love the texture effect for the coat/boot trim.

[thoracopagus.livejournal.com]

Augh, this is so unbearably cool. I love the puffy purple mittens, so charming and so suitable to the character.

[nasimjoon.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! This is awesome! The little details are so amazing. I love the goldfish!

[melisus.livejournal.com]

Oh my, this is absolutely amazing! You've put so much detail on the little figurine! And I keep staring at the goldfish inside the bag... how did you do it?

My hat's off to you, mystery artist. This is such a cool work of art!

[jenzay.livejournal.com]

Amazing, there's so much detailing! I mean, her hair, the coat and boot trimming, and even the little goldfish and the folds of cloth! Amazing~

[mrsfrankenstien.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I love her coat! And the little goldfish is just adorable.

[aybara-max.livejournal.com]

This is unbelievably cool! Death looks so playful yet mellow with her fur trimmed outfit and casually draped purple scarf (I love the ankhs at the ends!)... The effect with the fishy in the bag is impressive as well, you are so talented! Great job ♥

[reflectedeve.livejournal.com]

Oh, lovely. :D Such stunningly detailed work. I really like her contemplative pose and expression. The coat design's awesome too, and the ankhs on her scarf, and omg the goldfish! In a teeny-tiny plastic bag! Is that real water in there?

[omens.livejournal.com]

Wow!! Great work! I love the detail!

[amkave.livejournal.com]

I love love LOVE this. From the expression on Death's face, to the teeny tiny goldfish. I adore the details of the ankh necklace, and the ankhs at the ends of the scarf (I love that the scarf is purple, because purple is my favorite color). I love that she is all dressed up for winter from her mittens to her boots, to the hooded coat. I'd love to know a bit more about your medium, as well as exactly how big she is.

I love that you have photographed her against a rad background, and she shows up so well. I like to believe Death chose to whimsically free the goldfish because of her younger sister's (Delirium) affinity for them.

Thank you thank you thank you for my gift art!

So so cool! Wow, the teeny goldfish in the bag... impressive. Can't wait until reveals to find out more about this/see any other mad cool stuff you may have created :)

[janegodzilla.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is so wonderful! First, props to you for doing a fanart sculpture! I am so seriously in awe of that. And it's such a neat, gorgeous sculpture as well! I love the Sandman books, and you captured Death so perfectly. Her outfit is fantastic (the MITTENS!), and I love the purple scarf with the ankh detailing on it. It seems like just the sort of thing she'd wear. And the goldfish! The itty bitty little goldfish in the bag! I have no idea how you did that, but it looks seriously cool.

Gorgeous job, artist!

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Ooh, nifty. I really love the trim, and I'm very curious about how you did the goldfish in the bag!

[bluelittlepig.livejournal.com]

I love the details that you put into it. The coat and boot trims are especially cool. And the goldfish! This is really wonderful!

[fangirlism]

I will have to get a better look when I get home (I'm looking on my BlackBerry), but from what I can see on my small screen this looks amazing!

[wensleydale.livejournal.com]

Neat, it's always great to see 3-d stuff in Yuletart! I don't know how you did the goldfish bag, it's keen!

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, that's really creative! I love Death's outfit and the little goldfish of course :)

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

She's so cool! So many wonderful little details, and the resin/liquid for the fish is *such* a cool touch (and omg teeny adorable fish!)

[nextian.livejournal.com]

Her expression is just right, and the fleece on the coat! Death, the Winter Edition! Man, the only goldfish this season who doesn't have to worry about being flushed when the excitement gets to it.

[leochi.livejournal.com]

Lovely work! :)

[nebst.livejournal.com]

This is so cool! The detailing is just wonderful, and I love the idea.

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

Really very nice! The fish settled into the translucence is gorgeous, and it's fun to see Death in 3D!

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

This is seriously awesome and ahhh, the fish! Cute (and I agree with wanting to know how you made that happen :D)

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

That s simply stunning. The detail you worked into it is incredible. I love the bits of white around her ankles and wrists, it really adds to the sculpture visually.

And oh wow, the Goldfish! What a great idea.
Wonderful wonderful job ^__^

[zephre.livejournal.com]

wow, that is gorgeous. love the detailing on her cuffs and hood!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Oh, how pretty! The relaxed posture, the big boots and the ankh on the scarf, the notes of purple, the wry expression on her face!

The idea is adorable and the execution lovely; I especially like the way you've chosen to shape her nose, with a good broad bridge instead of a teensy practically nonexistent Barbie-style breathe-hole. It gives her face so much more *purpose* and strength, which I love because that was always my favourite thing about the character -- the way she could stand up to *anybody*, even (especially?) her siblings.

Wonderful work!

[chrismm.livejournal.com]

She's awesome! I love all the detail, the ankh on the scarf, and the goldfish. And the washes on her clothes and boots are very well-done--just enough to make the detail pop without weighing her down.

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

The details, man. I am so amazed with them and I love just scrolling through the different angles so I can be all "OH lookit that! And this! And hee, that's so cute!" I also love the pose you chose for her, like. A good sit after a long day, with her prize clutched in her mittened hand - you created a story here and that in and of itself GIVES ME SO MUCH JOY. :D

*claps lots*

[chen-san.livejournal.com]

It's just amazing!! Great job and an awesome gift ♥

[karabou.livejournal.com]

This is incredible! I especially love the way you've painted her eyes, and the goldfish - it looks real!

[harbek.livejournal.com]

Ah! Death! With a goldfish! Ah! It's amazing!

[darthneko.livejournal.com]

That's amazing! And so adorable... I love the details, the ankhs and the tread on her boots and the texture in the cuffs. Outstanding!

[brille.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness!! I have no idea how this is possible, but I love that it is. I'm so impressed by your skills! I love it!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

This is so clever. I love the pose, the knowing look in her eyes, and the concept.

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love how creatively you used the different materials to get the goldfish working.

TINY FISH IN A BAG OMG.

This is really fantastic. Bravo!

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

wow omg. I love Death and this is just so adorable and yet her. omg. love it.

[unavoidedcrisis.livejournal.com]

I love her coat. Great job!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

That's lovely! The tiny fish are just the perfect detail.

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

This is GREAT. What a creative piece. Death looks perfect, and you did an awesome job photographing her! I'd kill to have this on my shelf.

[joosetta.livejournal.com]

Ah this is beautiful, I envy anyone who can work in 3 dimensions, and you do it with such skill! The idea of the goldfish is amazing too.

[mawaridi.livejournal.com]

Eee, sculpture fanart! She's beautiful, and I am now also in love with the Death-liberates-goldfish idea. The goldfish (in its little bag!) is particularly cool, what a great piece :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bounce_/]

Oh, wow. This is just...

This is really great.

[karasu-hime.livejournal.com]

Oh neat! This is pretty cool!

[novembersmith.livejournal.com]

*____* Gorgeous, holy crap! I love the tilt to her head and the little ankh on her scarf and EVERYTHING. Just perfect, really, for the character. PERFECT. I enjoyed this so much.

[mithen.livejournal.com]

OMG, this is so awesome! Love the boots and her jaunty posture, it's so her!

[shihadchick.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that is gorgeous. I love all the detailing, and the mittens! And the goldfish, how did you DO that? So freaking cool. <3

[fuschia.livejournal.com]

That's so amazing! You captured such amazing detail. I am enraptured with the expression on her face!
