LOL! Awesome idea!
Just awesome... Not much to say. It could be a bit smoother, but hey, that's simply a taste of style:-)

Haha, thank you!
OMG...
It's really,really good but.... I think im gonna have nightmares now :(
I think this was a pretty funny picture because it did make you wonder that. Of course, if there truly was a day where no one died, then wouldn't the Earth have too high of a population? Anyway, it's great to see Death/The Grim Reaper relaxing at home. I just think this is a really homey picture. I like how his scythe is on the wall like that. I mean, you think Santa Claus has it tough?
All he has to do is work one day. Death has to work with 250,000 people every day! Although I guess in the long run, that might be less stressful than dealing with everyone at once, even at one night. The shades are very nicely done here. I like how the shadows work too..
Good job!
This goes to my favorites folder, although not the most original piece,
the expression on death's face is one of boredom rather than relief for taking a day off , but it fits the painting very well,so well in fact that one may think that she enjoys reaping souls, the smoke on the table is a priceless detail.
The sober selection of colors and some details like the plant in the right and the painting behind the couch are curious, may I ask what they mean?
The only thing that could have dropped you to 7 is that I find your other endeavors a tad more polished, maybe you did this one in a hurry? but the theme is so delicious that you earned the 8, I congratulate you for being so talented.

Thank you! :D
I didnt mean to make anything cliché, I actually never thought i did, I have at least never seen an image like this.. Sorry for not being original?
I actually made this image thinking not that he took the day off, but simply that no one died that day, so he got bored since he didnt have anything to do. Therefore the 'face' I guess. But i guess you could see it both ways. Not that I really tried to give him any destinct expression, its just a skull, I think the expression lies in his posture.
The colors and objects are just chosen to fit a composition giving the enivorment the right feeling, theres no other deeper "meaning" behind them. :)
I don't like the polished look really, i never quite understood it. I think great detailing was important the days before the camera. I personaly like images that are "loosely" painted over the detailed ones, it gives more for the viewers mind to work with i think. Also, working with less defined areas really makes the defined ones pop out!
Im thankful for the review!
haha, funny
Is death drinking a mickey's? thats cool.
great job.
