A commission made for

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.

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?

I like it!
It's kinda fuzzy on the facts because I read about it in a book on poisonous plants (A-Z
