Description
EDIT: When I finsihed this it was quite sunny outside, and I was unable to see the dark patches of the drawing properly... When I looked at it tonight I noticed how poorly the bg had come out, so I tweaked it a little...Rah. I did detail. X___x it almost killed me. And yes I know its not THAT detailed. So shush.

I am
You ask yourself, what am I?
I am the end, the absolute
The last few seconds of light
When the guttering candle goes out
You hate me. You fear me.
Because I take away life.
But would you appreciate life if it never ended?
If every second stretched endlessly into infinity..
Why do you fear that which you cannot avoid?
Life brings death, and death brings life.
I was there
When the first drop of blood
Was shed onto the earth
And I will be there
When the last leaf falls.

Ahem. Yes.
Anyway, for those who don't remember/recognise him, this is Shakri, my little God of Death. There's an old picture of him somewhere in my archive [link]
I was doing some doodles of skulls and such, and I thought I'de maybe do a littlw tweaking to his design. I know his wings are a little small on this picture, its actually because there was not enough space on the paper... So I made them small. Well, they are hypothetical wings, so their size doesnt really matter o__O that makes sense to me somehow, do not ask.
Anyhow, hope u like.

Sensational, it is beautifully done. Though it is the absolute epitome of pure evil there is a beauty in it that I do not find in many a piece of art like this. To even be near or watching such a think in reality would be utterly terrifying. It also demonstrates a talent that not many 16 year olds posses. And it is an excellent illustration of an utterly tedious creature to attempt to kill. A wonderful job done.

I have a wolf character, he wears a skull on his head. (('Cause he's stupid and it got stuck. u_u; )) It's wonderfully dark, yet gorgeous. I'm going to +fav it. If I may ask, what program(s) did you use to color and/or draw this?

This is so amazing. the detail, the expression, the anatomy. I could litteralyl stare at this work for hours and never find a thing wrogn with it. It's really quite astonishing, very lovely. You did a great job on the details, and the lighting. The skull being smaller then the head, is somethign you don't see often, which is probably what drew my attention most. The worm on the human skull, crawling form the eye and the spider webs is a lovely detail.
All together this picture has such a dark, and chilling mood to it. The background adds to this feeling, and the eyes, and small pendant(jewl), really add light to the dark mood.
And did I mention?
This picture is really beautiful.

is he an anthropromophic personification? Like death of rats from terry pratchett? this is cool, but I'm not sure I'd want to walk out of my house and find him waiting for me. I have so much to live for!

Ahhhh wow... what a cool looking character. Both versions of him are delightfully dark, a bit creepy, but they don't give off that evil aura. I like him and I love all the details in this picture... the celtic cross, the beading, skulls, wax, the subtle lighting, and that lovely glowing stone of the dead, i think you called it. If you wouldn't mind, may I draw a fanart (I'd credit you, of course) of his alternate raven form? (you mentioned it in your other drawing of him and I'm intrigued) I like drawing birds, especially ones with a story...

Whoa, that detail kicks ass. I lvoe the moon and the atmosphere. The birds, the beads, the very texture of the wax melting on the skull... Pretty lights. I love the Shakri story, too. I lov ethe sublte fur... the wings... < 3 <3 <3 and your poetry, too! I HAVE to +fav!

Great improvement since the last piece of the same character, though having said that, I did like the old one also. There's a few bits and pieces I can't see because it's not dark enough here just yet to have a good look, but from what I can see, there's lots of great detail and a lovely colouring job ^_^ Veeery nice indeed ^_^ ... *smacks dA for not putting this up on his watch*
