Death and the Maiden

Alright prints of this will be available through


All right. kind of anxious about posting this since I'm not sure how well it'll go over, it's not done with any care for anatomy/composition/anything. Just trying to express something right off the cuff. Some of you may remember this sketch from my scraps.

We had a series of sketches, myself and some friends, prompted by words thrown out at each other while utterly bored in a class we were all taking. You didn't just draw the word, you drew what it *meant* to you, what you thought of when you heard it, and just dove as deep as you could into yourself for the image.

This keyword was Death. Pretty simple. Ah... obviously heavily influenced by my mentor, Mike Dringenberg, who in turn was influenced by Amano, hence the leaning towards that direction in style.

So... colored pencils, watercolor and ink. What I see when I hear the word death.
