The sister (arf) piece to this one, featuring yours truly with the devil himself, can be found here: [link]

A Christmas present for my sister, whose name is Beth, the temptation to call this Beth and Death almost overcame me. But she'd probably kick my butt for that. Besides which, I rather like Death Becomes Her. So the gorgeous being you see in this picture is.... the Grim Reaper... *giggles* sorry sis....

Nah, that's my too-pretty-by-far sister pulling off her Botticelli's venus pose, a picture I swore I would make good use of, and so I have. And just for those of you who think I've lost the plot shoving the Grim Reaper behind my sister, she actually has a 'thing' for him, so she liked it. Kinda like putting Satan with a gun behind me. Yummy.

I'm really really happy with this picture, probably my best to date with coloured pencil, if only for the fact it does look like my sister. There are a couple of things I might change given the chance, but I don't feel they detract from the picture *gaspcoughshock*. Now then, if only ol' Grimmy and Lucifer would happen along looking for a couple of willing dates....

Great composition, and meticulous attention to detail make Death Becomes Her by *Zephyri a stand out work of art. Be sure to take a closer look! (Featured by `twosilverstars)

*blush* cheers! And she's not that lucky really, she has to put up with a moody artist the rest of the year. I hope you find my gallery to your liking!

Cheers m'dear... designing the dress was fuuuun. Personally though, I'd take the weapon. you can have far more fun with it. *grins evilly*

Lovey it's plain awesome. The detail in the picture just blows my mind. And it's a nice touch to have given the reaper feathered wings.
The poses, too, amaze me. That's truly one of your masterpieces.
