Made in Painter 9 and Wacom tablet... references come from myself and sxc.

Okay, so here's a piece I have been working on for the past few weeks... and I shall never ever try to make clouds in a long long time. Took me so long to get them to look the way they are, I think it came out pretty decent.

In this work, we have one depiction of the Capricorn (goat like mythical creature), in this case symbolizing death. The constellation of Capricorn, in which the winter solstice theoretically takes place was called "The House of Death", for in winter all life in the Northern Hemisphere is at its lowest ebb. It is always above us, as opposed to many views showing hell / devil / death to be below. My personal touch here is the hands, now scythes as appendages, no real symbolism there, I just like the way they look .

Blue is the key color in this piece.

Hope you enjoy it!
