Default Drawing Jam #73 :: The Grim Reaper





The Grim Reaper

Deadline: 23rd of April 2012 at 12 noon GMT,




The Grim Reaper

The shadowy figure, the personification of Death. The Grim Reaper has long haunted the most dark of tales. We want to see your version of The Grim Reaper, would he be a trickster or perhaps a likeable if misunderstood character just doing his job like in the Discworld tales by Terry Pratchett.

    Interesting, maybe I can come up with something nice this time. ^^

    My 1st two thoughts went to the little reaper from "Conquer bad fur day" and the one from "Cemetery man"

    looks fun, I'll see what I can do. Currently catching up with the production challenge at the moment and a few other things. This looks like a nice thing to do on the side though :]

          I'm going to give it a go! I'm new to this but excited.

          I'm thinking something along the lines of a little girl in a white cloak. Hopefully I can make her kind of creepy looking.

                hate to point it out, but I think Mesmurda's submission was made previous to this jam. In their Gallery it is listed as originally being uploaded in August of 2011.

                :\

                  MESMURDA: You can only enter art specifically drawn for this jam I'm afraid. Have a look at the FAQ linked in the first post

                  Awesome starts everyone

                    A first shot

                    I imagine him as some kinf of hitman, send by the heaven to do the dirty work. Still experimenting on his look. A more skinny version would go better with the death topic, but a more unusual approach might be interesting too. Like a little chubby reaper.
