The demonic dream warden "Negative".

A divisive character, you can never really tell whether he is on your side. His left side represents his sinister half, his right the merciful better. They are exact negative images of one another. Which side is in control at the time largely determines what shall become of he whom this demon is in charge of watching over that night.

The staff he is holding is a mystic staff, origin of his spells and magical capabilities, as well as key tool to performing his responsibilities as both protector and thief of dreams. Those who are unfortunate enough to come across him in the limbo of their subconscious would be best advised not to gaze into its eyes.

I did ALOT of experimentation with this coloring job, and for the most part I'm happy with how it turned out. I am no master, though, and will gladly take any help anyone is willing to give :)

Please do not steal Negative, for who knows what dreams shall come in such sleep.
