Description I felt like drawing. So I drew Death all cute like~ :0 Remember that scythe? I haven't drawn that thing for like a year.
Hey you! Check out my gallery and favorite my newer works so that my old, crappy art doesn't plague my "popular" section and make me look bad >8(

Ah you know I love Death and you know I always fav. him! And no I'm not just fav-ing this because your journal and your side note at the bottom. There's something a little different about this one than your other later pieces. I think it's because you used just enough line art but it isn't obvious. And the blends that you did do (especially with the hair) give it the far-away look that I think works really really well with this picture and what it's trying to portray. You did an amazing job with the smoke and I like the skull in it by the way. And the shadows in his eyes and the brightness of the red in on his scythe (only color) is perfect. THIS IS AWESOME GLOOMY! and you know I just love Death

Thanks so much! 8D Yeah, I did try some new things with shading with this one, and I like the way it's turned out~ And I agree, Death just looks so cute in this one

I like that the lights that death has passed has gone out...really nice touch there. Also the lighting looks sweet. I think more lighting on the hair though, maybe just defining a few individual strands, would do a lot. Good work.

Hm, yeah, I agree with you there; there could be a few more defining strands. It does look a little flat~ Thanks

I used Photoshop Elements 4.0 (but I would recommend something along the normal Photoshop line and not Elements here; there are a few features that it doesn't have), and yes, I use and Wacom Inedos (spelling?) tablet
I'm glad you like it~
