This took over 4 months, using Prismacolor 005, 05 & 01 Micron
Please stop telling me the skull is wrong and the horns are wrong, for those thinking I spent over 700 + hours looking at this and didn't know Please do not knit pick anatomy semantics and anatomical correctness. I dis-proportioned the horns deliberately. Thank you

Awesome
Looks really good, but I bet this would have been a lot easier if you resorted to using fractals. There are a lot of places with repeating patterns, but i am sure your knew that.
Nothing easy ever looks this good. Like for instance, I would rather have a stone house then a prefab Home that takes 3 months to build. I would rather have the stone house because the time, effort, structure and hard work makes it so much more satisfying in the end.
Thanks for the feed back!

Great!
Such attention to detail, its spectacular to be allowed witness to such focus and dedication. I can only praise it. Subjectively speaking I would have seen the skull being a bit more ominous, however I can understand that you wanted it to look the way it does and it still still looks superb!
Well done.
Thank you!!! I saw the subtle side of deaths face so I made up for it with the souls trapped inside death in the lower part of his torso, I mean damn, death is so ominous in its self I decided to shift away from the ominous and give death a more complacent look, like hes stating "I know what my job is and im comfortable with it"

wow
thats a shit ton of work you dont see in art that much anymore
I like to put the time and love into my work, there's more artists out there that would love to do the same... but they're pushed to pump out work faster then most and they lose that time the could be putting into their work rather then unmissable deadlines.
Thank you kindly for the feedback!

Woah
You must have pictured the devil..
I don't believe in the devil, but I have seen death many times in its forms, it's what reminds us everyday we are but mortals.

Goddamn
How the hell did you do this? I couldn't make anything like this in 4 years let alone months. It's like every single last tiny detail was done by a freakin' artistically talented mouse with a mouse sized brush. I commend you for such talent and also kind of fear you, mouse boy
LOL awesome comment!!! If you want to know how i did this really its simple... Some people meditate other run or rock climb. I like to pay attention to detail that's my meditation. I use design pens the kind used for drafting buildings by architects, then spend hours tapping the pen to the paper to make the shade I want, its a technique called stippling... take the time and dedication add them all together and you get whats up top.
