Description

...to everything there is a time. Death has been on my mind a lot, (those of you who've read my dA journals know why), and I was often brought back to Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" Death and his Family, especially granddaughter Susan, and so that is how this piece evolved. It took me almost 4 weeks, I put things in and took them out, this has been my pickiest piece yet. I was going to add a little dog as her companion but I got to thinking of return to OZ, where Dorothy has the Hen instead of Toto, and I decided on a Dove, a talkative and sometimes annoying companion, but everyone needs a side kick ;) (The white horse is "Binky", Death's horse, having a holiday from Death's Realm in a lovely forest) Woman http://visualgraffiti-stock.deviantart.com/ Crows, butterflies http://shoofly-stock.deviantart.com/ Top of Hat http://mizzd-stock.deviantart.com Window Frame http://stock-feele.deviantart.com/ Madi Gra Doll http://misfit-t0y-st0ck.deviantart.com/ Ground http://night-fate-stock.deviantart.com/ Sky http://breedstock.deviantart.com/ Scythe http://fantasystock.deviantart.com/ Pot and Stand http://unholy-stock.deviantart.com/ Boots http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/ Part of Cloak http://rivendell-photostock.deviantart.com/ Forest http://anarasha-stock.deviantart.com/ Dove http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=338158 Clock in Moon http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=943102 Chair,skulls and face ref http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php

Sensational work, you have packed an incredible amount of detail into this, takes some looking to notice of all the great little touches. The mood is terrific and the contrast between the dark foggy inside and the green outside is a great idea. Bravo!
