Description "Every creature is better alive than dead..."


- - -
The theme "stripes" at the Illustration Friday [link] got me inspired and watching television with my housemate urged me to sketch. (As usual, I should have been doing everything else.) The original picture is drawn with black ink but while I cleaned it after the scan, I happened to invert the colours and - to my surprise - like the result.

The title is the first line that popped in to my head at the moment I saw this picture as it is now.


EDIT: Changed the file (more tightly cropped).

I find the skulls oddly adorable and if death had six toes, this would be his foot lol. I really like it with the inverted colors it really make the piece pop.

: D Who knows how many toes death has. Maybe even twelve. Or exact thirty? x D
