--------------------


About time I posted another pic onto here! And this one is of myself and a friend's OC, specifically https://jumblemaster.newgrounds.com/'s Death.


This friend of mine is a special case. I first met him on an old DA profile of his a few years ago, where he became friends with another of mine. His OCs started off mostly as a bunch of afterlife-like beings, mostly ghosts, who were drawn in a very cute way, but over time he evolved them into digital beings that govern...well, everything! This is one of them, Death, based off of the Four Horseman of the same name, who despite the creepy smile isn't actually evil, she just handles turning the game that is existence on and off and getting rid of "garbage" (aka lives and worlds). Alongside the other characters who make up the Four Horsemen and one who embodies them all, Death is the Providence being mentioned in this picture. https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/crashcourse81/symbol-of-perfection It'd take a while to explain the whole story behind them so I'll just move on.


Me and JM go way back. When he used to be active on DA we would often RP with me meeting/interacting with his characters. Nowadays we talk on Discord, and while there was a time where I doubted him (due to drama between him and the other friend), I overall quite like him. He has and makes BRILLIANT pics, his OCs are very mysterious and interesting simply to look at (not to mention funny), and he himself is a nice guy to talk to. Honestly, I would even consider him one of my closest friends, despite not chatting as much as I would with others. He's just so interesting and funny to talk to, as well as extremely skilled.


So, what's this pic about exactly? Well I had asked him yesterday if he would be willing to make this kind of scenario for me, but then I decided to make it myself after he suggested I make it as fanart (which I had actually planned to make before, but kept forgetting to), and thus was this made. As for context, I had somehow been brought into Death's realm (would've made a background but that shit would've taken WAY too long), perhaps by Death themselves (yes, themselves, not HERself), and was stepped on by the deity shortly thereafter. They even went as far as to take a picture of my dazed self. XD Maybe Death just wanted to mess around with me? Or they were getting rid of someone who somehow managed to warp into their domain, which even for a Perfectionist would be borderline impossible. Either way, it seems I'm destined for whatever this "Recycle Bin" is...Just hope it's not a permanent stay. ^^;


Hope you like!


Fun Facts:

  • Death is the OC I've focused on the most out of the Four Horsemen, particularly due to one of the designs made for them. However, that was not an influence behind this drawing, ironically.
  • The object they're holding is actually meant to be the hilt of a scythe, but since the first segment may have been too big to fit into the pic (plus the whole thing may or may not have been difficult to draw due to its design), I decided to make it into this instead. This is not meant to be a canon thing though, just something I drew for fun.
  • The camera screen is a reference to Death's powers, as their pics usually involve a bunch of other kinds of screens popping up. Fitting, considering the being themselves are based off of the Blue Screen Death.
  • The quote at the top came from a reply from JM on Discord, which was meant to be a take on what Death would do in this scenario (after I mentioned they would warp me into their shoe or someplace else THROUGH their shoe). Thought it would be funny to put it into the description.
