I quite like this. I have a fascination with death & the afterlife, & the workings thereof. this reminded me of a poem I once wrote: [link]

The proportions do a great job of representing how reality becomes skewed when death comes for you...atleast that's what i got from it

"Dont knock on Death's door, ring the doorbell and run! He hates that!"

Found it off an icon a while back, reminded me of that.
