Description okies! I"m sure some of you remember ballpoint carnage, well this is the sort of complete version! there is a second half that is almost completed that goes to the right of this one.
BTW: this is 'death' and it's horse is the second half. I'm actually quite pleased with how the horse is turning out.

I work in ballpoint and I have to say this is an exceptional work. You retained detail as well as tone and frankly I am amazed that this hasn't garnered more attention. This is what ballpoint is all about. It is sad that it isn't really recognized as a valid media, though biro art as some call it is making headway. Beautifully executed, I'm inspired.

nuclearcarrots [2004-07-23 17:24:07 +0000 UTC]

i. am. floored.

this is absolutely amazing. i agree with the spider comment, that it adds a dinky and loveable amount of cuteness to the otherwise gorgeously morbid picture. the detail is magnificent, as usual, and the pure concept, the way you portray death, is stunning, if not downright scary. o__o

thumbs up to the straps, the polka dots, and the scale-like designs on the helmet (and elsewhere). want to see the horse. going to stalk you until you post it. maybe longer. XD
