Sandman March Mania: Winner Announcement

This is it, everyone! Since March 25th, you voted every day. Four rounds, 24 amazingly talented artists who qualified, and each time one of them had to go, it hurt a little.

But we didn’t do this because we truly see these artists in competition with each other. Our goal was to get to know them better, share what moves us about their art, also have fun with the… weird depictions and generally just acknowledge:

The Sandman wouldn’t exist without them.

They all gave us unique and wonderful interpretations of Dream (and not just Dream) and we’re so grateful for all of them. So without further ado, here are your winners (are you surprised?):

1. Mike Dringenberg (50% of the vote)

2. Jill Thompson (37% of the vote)

3. Shawn McManus (13% of the vote)

And if you’d like to know how we got here, have a look at the recap of all four rounds—we really recommend you do, because each link contains all individual pairings with all the art, all the knowledgable, interesting, funny and sometimes heartbreaking stories people shared, and is generally just what fandom should be about:

Sharing the love.

Round One

Round Two

Round Three

Round Four

That’s us. We want to thank all of you who joined us over the past four weeks, because that’s also what this event was about: Something everyone can participate in. You didn’t have to write fanfic, you didn’t need to support a ship, you didn’t need to create art. You could just bond with other people over your favourite thing if you wanted to. Or simply vote.

And although we normally wouldn’t do so, we decided (after some agonising) to be annoying and tag @neil-gaiman in this to share what a small corner of fandom came together for over four weeks: To engage in, and bond over, art appreciation. We thought you might like it or think it was a silly thing to have a bracket match, or maybe both at once. But either way—we loved hosting it and joining in!

Thanks again everyone, and who knows, we might see you all again next year for something equally manic with a different topic.

Your hosts,

@tickldpnk8 and @writing-for-life

#aww #yay for mike dringenberg #im sad I didn't get time to participate in this properly this week #but I'm pleased Mike won #the sandman #sandman artists

Death Appreciation Week: Death of the Endless

Happy Death Appreciation Week!

Death and her parasol. I couldn't resist. This is just a little, quick(ish) something I did in Procreate. No background again, because my spoons... They are no longer with me.

Death has a Life

Thought I’d do a fic masterlist for my Death of the Endless fics!

Anya meets Death—this particular chapter from my Spy x Family x Sandman crossover (Anya is a very cute little telepath with a spy and an assassin for parents.)

Velma’s Close Call—from my Scooby Doo x Sandman crossover series. It’s a fishbowl rescue, so to speak, where Death was the one summoned.

Eldritch Horrors and the Chaos Gremlin — Lucienne tries her hand at matchmaking. It works. My attempt at ConstantDeath.

Death is not Easy to Cheat—my most angsty fic, in which Lyta is briefly a zombie.

Endless Family Trick-or-Treating—she gets to be so cute!

Death is not for Everyone—Hob and Johanna “facilitate” Rose meeting her Aunty Death (ch 3 of Walking with the Endless, in which Rose and Jed meet their new extended family)

Minus One—Jed meets Aunty Death during math class (ch 5 of Walking with the Endless)

WIP: deathzee for @milfzatannaz (check out her art), I’m just waiting on some Zatanna comics to come in at the library so I can get her at least a bit right!

Send me Death of the Endless prompts at my side blog @lucienne-my-beloved this week!

Death and Dream - Colleen Doran, 2014

I love this depiction of Death and her (typically dour) younger brother. It really highlights their bond, and the positive impact she can have on him. Proof: he's actually smiling! Death has that effect on people. And anthropomorphic personifications, apparently.
