HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!

Yeah, so I decided to take a short break from doing Harry Potter fanart. These two guys here are really just two ideas I've had for making something about Death. The first has a more "modern" flair, or something, and second is more a traditional Grim Reaper (sort of...) Posted Image Yes, I named him D3ATH. Sue me. Anyway, there are a number of little symbolisms in this art. Obviously, bones are often associated with death, not to mention the fact that he's dressed in black and wielding a scythe. The scythe itself is shaped like a anhk, an egyptian symbol for life (or death, I keep forgetting). The eye on the scythe has the things underneath it that form the eye of horus, another symbol of death. Posted Image This one is more "traditional" I guess you could say. Except for the stylized skull and bone patterns on his robe. Speaking of which, he does have legs, they're just hard to make out. I just call him "Dorian" for now, until I come up with a better name. And yes, I tried to make a skeleton left hand, but it just doesn't quite look right from the side, does it? *sigh* And just think of those things twirling around his left arm as "life force" or "souls" or something. Once again, construstive criticism, yadda yadda. |

Okay,the first reaper looks like Jango Fett from Star Wars.I don't really like it.You could've used a cooler mask.The clothes are modern,but they look like the Punisher costume. The second one,I like.Cool trench coat,even though it is an Organization XIII rip off.You could've done better with the Life Force thingys.Remember,they aren't supposed to be solid,and s in drawing them in an irregular form it will make them more powerful looking.Just scribble along the arm and make it slightly distorted to show it's power. Overall,Dorian doesn't look like the grim reaper.Just a kid in a halloween costume.He lacks might,he lacks an aura that makes people know he is BADASS and that he will take your SOUL with sick demented PLEASURE. Decent effort,but not your best.Gambatte! |
