Artist's Comments

"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

I'm a sucker for the classic image of the Grim Reaper, but he's always depicted in such a stately, static pose. Considering his job, I thought it'd be more appropriate if he was crouched like a jungle cat, ready to pounce on his next "client"...

Oh, that sickle is BADASS! Nice work. I guess I have always just viewed the character of Death as in between death and life, so he would be more like rotting flesh falling off the bone, and possibly sickly twisted and mutated, with really long fingers, maybe some horns, and oragns hanging from his body, dragging along the ground. Oh, but I am getting away from my compliments of your work. Nice job, look forward to Pestilence (if he is in there).
