Um, been reading Good Omens again, and I was inspired by the four horsemen to paint something. Clockwise from top: DEATH, Pollution, War, Famine.

This isn't really a literal interpretation of their descriptions from the book, because 1) I don't have enough colors or actual skin tones and I'm far too lazy to mix some and 2) I figured it looked more ~symbolic~ or something and 3) Err I know DEATH doesn't have wings, but I figure this isn't Pratchett's exact Discworld Death, so I elaborated, and I kind of wanted to paint some. So there.

It scanned kind of funky, errr oh well. If you haven't read Good Omens, do it. It's my favorite book. It's by Terry Pratchett (who is possibly my favorite person ever because his books are so wonderful) and Neil Gaiman, who is also pretty darn amazing. Hilarious and magical and a lot of fancy adjectives.

But I'm pleased with how it turned out - I need to paint more so I can get better, durp.

BUT ONLY FOUR DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE FOR INNERSPARK YOU GUYS. I'm excited.

Death does have wings in Good Omens, he just doesn't have 'em out all the time. c: Love this!

Haha, I totally didn't even notice that, but it must have seeped in. I have a habit of reading books and missing really obvious things ;d
Thank you!

Hahaha I'm a little bit the same, in that I tend to forget huge chunks of whatever I've just read. But most of Good Omens sunk in. ^^
You're welcome~

I LOVE their eyes!
Seriously, literal or not, this is an absolutely smashing interpretation of the characters. (And hey, it even says in the book that this DEATH has wings, so that's all good.)
