Live by the sword!
Die for the Lord!
Call down the vultures
To dine on the corpse!
"I was thinking about all the forgotten children who die before their parents, and this song is about one of those poor bastards becoming Death's apprentice. Death to me is a much more imaginative concept than God - I thought it would be interesting to think about someone training to be his apprentice and learning to reap souls."
-Frank Carter, Gallows vocalist

Well I've been wanting to illustrate this song since the day I heard it. Months later after a half dozen sketches I finally got it. Wanted to make the vultures more skeletal like so they'd be more symbolic and less lteral, but it that would be too Ashes of the Wake-like.

If you like hardcore punk or just hard rock in general please give the Grey Britain album a listen, at least a few songs, it's seriously one of the best albums of 2009.

(Photshop CS3, used this texture for the texture, images on the tombstones are from the Grey Britain album art)

Oh actually this was made quite some time ago.
I had a piece for Halloween though - a zombie pinup, my best pinup yet (still new at it), but due to complications I unfortunately couldn't upload it on Halloween, so I'll wait a while and make it even better before I do.

Plus the perspective on the scythe makes the metal blade thingy look small, apearing like death is waving a chils baby scythe. Therfore it's CUTE :D

Good! I think the symbols on the gravestones are out of sync with the rest of the drawing though, too precise. Otherwise it's pretty swell.

Probably, but it works better than having empty tombstones, thanks!
