This is not the post I had *planned* to write today

That one will come later. But when I stopped by Neil Gaiman's blog just now and saw the picture below, I knew I just had to post it.

The artist is Camilla D'Errico, and the picture is a loose depiction of some of the characters from Gaiman's short story "How to Talk to Girls at Parties," from Fragile Things. The story doesn't strictly involve any MC (though that point is debatable), and I certainly don't remember any tentacles, but this picture is still incredible. My God, those eyes!
