XIII vs. 4 stands for Western Greek death vs Eastern Japanese death

I assume most of you know that the number for "Death" in European culture is XIII

Well, the number for "Death" in Eastern culture is 4

So, Thanatos, the Greek God Death, vs. Izanami, the origional Jap. Goddess of Death (was once the Goddess of Creation)

If you ever watch Ju-on: The Curse, or it's prequel: 444-444-4444, 2 of the characters get a call from that phone number... then Toshio kills them.


oh, I left out Ryoji's other 2 wings, and Izanami's other 3 braids in purpose... not enough room.

Pretty creative. Amazing design. I love how their bodies are small, but the entire design is big. It makes it seem very epic. I also like the whole black and white thing and the texture on the clothing. The glow really adds to it, in my opinion.

Great job! I want to see you expand on this!

Expand? you mean... on this picture? ///_o... or doing more pictures with this type of detail?

The History of Scottland (according to SivakAurak on youtube)

"Gaels ARE Celts. The Scotti, from northern Ireland, came over onto Skye, eventually displaced the Picts. Then the Vikings and the Normans showed up and shit REALLY hit the fan... "

Show me the Way to the Dawn so that I may be awaken to the Morning After.

I thought of that when I typed 4 on there.

I was hoping no-one would think of that, because if i had meant it, I would have put 3 next to Thanatos to signify P3, lol.

oh well... ///_^'

I don't normally do things in just pencil anymore, so this was enjoyable.
