Art break - part 8, Death

So, as you may have seen, I had done a fair bit of Death already, but I did a few touch ups:

The photos are a little blurry, but you get the idea :p

Death's robe is purple, purple being the colour of royalty, because all bow down to the rule of death. Also I felt black would be too stark.

The hand that will hold the rope is in the gesture of blessing, a symbol widely used in Christian and/or Renaissance art, directing benevolent guidance over Hades.

 I am rethinking giving this work to my (alleged) father, he is apparently thinking a lot on mortality :s

Next: Hades! (the derpy cat)
