A commission made for :iconrythmear:

He requested a picture of his character Umbrella Man delivering a letter to a sleeping Niels.

As he put it: “To make sense of this picture, it would seem Umbrella Man is delivering a message to Niels, something which may very well seem utterly trivial at the time he reads it - but someday will cause something important in his life, for better or for worse.”

The umbrella is supposed to look fuzzy, like it's not quite right. In fact, I tried to give the whole thing a slightly dreamy feeling, as if Niels is somewhat aware that someone else is there, but at the moment he think he's just dreaming.

I like how the gasmask ended up almost looking like a cranium. :)

This looks like something straight out of a Richard Matheson novel. :heart:

I would LOVE seeing Niels in that kind of universe. A stone-cold killer, being forced to re-examine the world after getting a peek at the equally calculated supernatural forces who secretly govern it... Would he lash out in open defience, or adjust his world-view, even if only slightly?

The mask reminds me of the combine's mask from half life 2

I hope the letter comes up later in the series.

when I saw the little picture in the gallery, I thought it was the Death who'd come to make Niels sign a document for his own death :dead:

I just remembered, there's a guy called 'the umbrella killer', who killed a guy by injecting him with some sort of poisonous plant, all the guy saw(the one he killed) after he felt the jab in his leg, was another guy who looked like he'd tripped, and he'd had an umbrella with him, then three days later that guy died, they never knew what happened to the umbrella guy :P

It's kinda fuzzy on the facts because I read about it in a book on poisonous plants (A-Z :heart: ) today, so it hasn't really sunk in yet :P
