No Tears for Grim


This is grim. Hes unfinished and Im dont know if ill ever finish him. Hes the most technical colored pencil piece I've ever done. He also one of my favorite pieces.
Here is his meaning and the approach I tried to take:
When you first look at the grim reaper a surge of fear or hatred often pass through our minds, but a closer look shows the solemn expression on an expressionless face. One whose sole duty is to reap the souls of those who are dieing or about to die. In a way the grim reaper is the most merciful being in our books. He saves us from potenial pain and the dispair that comes from liveing forever. Yet he is hated and alone. he will always be alone and misunderstood, but still does his job and will do so for all enternity.
