Description "Death is a law, not a punishment"

the final horsemen. i didnt really like the gritty violent death look so i had a more 'lady death' approach, giving it a more elegant and graceful feel, plus i had to break the genders up somewhere

HERE ARE THE OTHERS:

Would ever ever consider doing your drawings at higher resolution?Β for exampleΒ somewhere in the neighbourhood of 6000x7800 for this one.

Why break the genders up at all? What's with people today and feminizing everything? Making death into a woman and not even a very intimidating one at that ruins the general badassery and stoic emotionless anonymity associated with death. I suppose next the seven princes of hell and the seven arch angels will have genders "broken up" as well? None of them are supposed to have genders anyway they're supposed to be androgynous, though in actuality that has generally meant that both demons and angels resemble men with some feminine features. The church doesn't think of women as being very relevant so I doubt they would write in the New Testament that one of the four seals of seven opened by Jesus contains a female horseman. I think you should redo death this time with a more archaic feel to it. How about you draw ancient Egyptian, Hindu Β or Greco-Roman goddesses why mess with pre-established figures of such influence as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Has originality become so scarce that everyone has resorted to simply adding female or lady to already existing ideas? Idealistic bitching aside, the artistic value of the picture itself is fucking astonishing, good on you mate.

Who said Death is supposed to be 'intimidating/badass' to begin with? You sound as though you're throwing a tantrum because the artist's portrayal of Death wasn't a badass skeletal warrior with a bulky armor or a creepy coat. That's stupid.

In the original tale of the horsemen, it never specified if any of them was ever a woman, besides, what IS the harm of portraying one of them as a woman? You also came off as though you're afraid of it.

Death can be interpreted in many ways, my vision on it is something serene that arrives to bring you to eternal peace. Not something to be feared. Pretty much like "Your job is done, please rest now".
Don't act as if your view should be the right one and everything else is forbidden.

PeppermintNightcore In reply to TheDrudge [2015-09-10 02:00:44 +0000 UTC]

So your saying a woman can't be badass and stoic or emotionless? Also don't tell an artist how to draw something it's rude and as a Lutheran and a woman I get that the past and religion was based on men but maybe if men of the past weren't stuck up and acted like everything was about them maybe there would be a little bit more history written on the women of the past who were badass so please shut up. It's not feminizing it's balancing.

i totally agree with you but then again an artist will draw what he/she wants to. But still gender breaking has been happening way too much.

I love what you did here. i especially dig the scythe design. However if I were to make one modification to it it'd be to add one or two fullers (aka blood grooves) into the main blade of the weapon. Other than that it's a pretty kickass piece overall.

Does she hold the weapon from behind?

Not sure if it's a single weapon or two? And her right hand seems to hold it in an opposite perspective than the weapon is shown?

Other than that, the colors and composition are very good.

Superb effort, and it shows through the final piece.
Keep up the good work, for you have an incredible gift.
