This is absolutely beautiful in both artwork and idea; watercolour properly handled is in my (mostly uneducated) opinion the most expressive and aesthetically pleasing of mediums, and the idea of death as beginning as well as end, something every bit as personal as life, is both beautiful and something that resonates with my own beliefs. Gorgeous work.

Marvellous work! Death's attire is simply wonderful. From being entirely black you've added colorful patterns and pieces ^-^ I don't know what exactly you had in mind, but personally would think that these additions symbolize that Death is not only blackness and/or sadness, but consists of different things and experiences. This, because no one knows what lies beyond the grave. I think it opens a door of possibilities for interpretation and ideas about the Reaper

That's exactly what I was trying to convey with the colours, that death is not always a terrible thing, that's why I also made all the people he was carrying - smiling.

Ah! I thought so Jessmead ^_^ I hadn't noticed that the people were smiling though; I went more with the colors in fact. It's nice to see there are others that think Death isn't only sobs and darkness. It has both, just like life isn't all laughter and joy too.
A pleasure to see such wonderful images and to know you deepen them It's my pleasure to have stumbled upon your gallery

* Sorry for the delayed response. I tend to leave replies for the weekend

I did paint it in watercolour, and I used gouache for the details and highlights. Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
