Artist's Comments

Well, here she is... Goddess of Death, autumn and weather.

I realized after the linework was done that she was wearing a snuggie... but it's kind-of an apology to her for having her so skanky last year, I'll bring the sleeveless shoulders with the long slit in the dress back next year, I like that costume for her...

Finally looks a bit older, but not an attractive 50-60 like I want her to look. Sister pointed out that she has a muted tone to her expression this year. I was going for this fragile yet needed look on her face, sympathetic to the passing of life, yet strong in her dedication to carry out her duty.

Great work on the color scheme! I like how the colors interact with the composition. The drawing has a really strong sense of movement, thanks to her sweeping robe, the fluttering ribbons and the mountains in the backgrounds. The small border around the figure is a nice touch.

There is one part of the coloring that strikes me as out of place. You've got some nice shading going on, but her foot is white and flat--a little bit of shading to bring out the volume would help.

The pose looks good, but her head is small in comparison to the rest of her body. Her arms and wrists are really skinny, although that might be the look you want, considering she's the goddess of death. I like her expression--it's sad but also knowing.

Hope this helps!

Hey Benster,

Yeah still around, still kicking. Even though I turn 40 in December, I'm still very much alive. Not much going in the art world for me though, unless you count mapmaking for D&D. I have a cool new one I plan to upload once that section of the game is done. I'd hate have my players see it in advance. :)

Anyway, good to hear from you. My job is going great and I hope yours is too.

No, I don't I'm thoroughly anti-Facebook. Sorry. But I do use the Twitter, you know, just to try out funny lines. [link]
