Over at ConceptArt.org, they're running their CHOW challenge, and the task was to redesign one of Gaiman's Endless. I wish I were more Gaiman-literate, but something about Desire really spoke to me. I KNEW it'd be the perfect foil for a Klimt-ish treatment, and I'm really tickled by the way this turned out, especially since it was squeezed into my already-packed schedule. If you wanna catch all the kick-ass entries (and/or vote in the poll), clicketh here: [link]

(Many thanks to ~Enchantedgal-Stock and ~alta-photopraphy for some of the goldwork.)

Damn, Desire's looking very androgynous. :) Great job. I love the halo thing behind it's head! (I'm not religious but I love religious and symbolism art. Lolz)

Thanks! I actually know very little about the series so this was really and truly my own interpretation. And I kinda love Klimt so that's where the halo-ish thing came from. :XD:

Yeah, Desire is male or female, depending on what you desire. I think this is great, although for me desire would be female. But you really got the character.

Honestly, I don't know much about the series; I did this portrait for a challenge. So I'm not sure I'll have the inclination to explore it further. :shrug:

Well, looking at your profile I'g guessing you like fantasy. If so, I strongly suspect that you will be pretty impressed with Sandman...

Hmmmmm. May I take it that you would not find it impolite of me to have a go at one of the Endless "in the style of" as you have?

EXQUISITE!! Desire via Klimt is a wondrous *masterstroke* - and you've got the gender ambiguity absolutely spot on, Desire is BOTH masculine and feminine - I can make my brain see a very definite female character and ALSO see a very definite male character in this, like those duck/rabbit optical illusions - so many people, even in the comics, couldn't quite get it and he/she sometimes ended up looking bland and slightly sexless and hermaphroditic but this is a PERFECT RENDITION of Desire! Desire was always one of my favourite characters...

Beautiful!
