Description Death, Susan Sto Helit and Death of Rats striking dramatic poses.
This doesn't generally relate to any of the books. The snowy background is only somewhat inspired by Hogfather, which I re-read the previous month.
Might be some mistakes. No coherent light source here, because it's one of those places where light raises the middle finger to any normal laws of physics.

Edit: Fixed the hand and added some head enlargements. I don't know how to improve the pic any more. May take a while to reload.

A wonderful picture of Susan! And you did a magnificent job with the scythe. I remember in Reaper Man, Death was very keen (a pun) to have his scythe sharpened beyond conventional means. This is terrific.

The attention to detail here is stunnning. I love Susan's hair, the runes on Death's scythe, and the small semi-cartoony appearance of the death of rats.

So what is the deal with Susan's Hair?

Human Susan's hair is just a simple bun in the back, but DEATH Susan's Hair is an Afro, Why?

I Susan supposed to look like the bride of Frankenstein? I forget, but I always pictured her as a sleek blond haired woman.

XD Yeah, it's meant to be a bit of a 'show'. Sort of "Let's look overdramatic and sinister for once, as it's such a one-to-million chance that it might actually work."

Odin22 [2007-02-18 21:05:38 +0000 UTC]

This is amazing work, i luv the otherwordlyness of it all and i much prefer Susans hair like this. 1 question though, why does Death have Vampire like teeth? i can't remember seeing him like this before.

FerociousNarwhal [2007-02-10 05:11:58 +0000 UTC]

I like the intricate mystic symbols on all the blades, and the prominent omega sign on the sword. The Death of Rats looks like he's plotting something... Should I be worried? All in all, very nice work.

kisamerolz In reply to FerociousNarwhal [2010-08-04 15:47:54 +0000 UTC]

of course he looks plotting! he is a dead walking scythe-wielding hodded rat! he exists to make you suspicious of anything, logic first, reality second, and so on.

the art itself is really good!!!

i have to say, that i love this mearly because they would never DREAM of posing in such a way.

its like, when someone sticks their tounge out, just for fun

making a joke, you see

zorm In reply to peace-love-art [2007-01-21 21:08:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, as Death would say, "TOO MUCH DRAMA." XD I unfortunately have a strong liking to draw overly bombastic poses, and sometimes they end up twisting the limbs of the wrong characters.
Maybe my mind was in the other trouser of time where a parasite universe Death enjoys the pomp and has his own somber theme music.

I love the feeling of ice and cold all those cold colours create. I love Death's expression and Susan's pose. And of course, the Death of Rats is, well, awesome. I like Susan much better in this dress than the other one.
