Godfather Death

My entry into #Myths-and-Legends's Grimm Fairy Tales contest.

I chose to do an illustration for "Godfather Death", where an old poor man makes Death the godfather of his son hoping that he'll grow up successful.

If you want to know more, just read the story! It's like a page long: [link]

So, here's Death showing his Godson that his candle of life is about to go out.

I didn't mean to... but I think the lad looks like Lewis Carroll.

I gave Death a beak. Yup. I thought it'd be fun to do something different rather than the ol' skeleton look. But now that I haven't drawn him as a skeleton, I have a longing to... draw a skeleton! I guess I'd better think of something to draw with a skeleton. *.*
