Description I'm going to start a little collection of pictures like this one.
As you can read he's Thanatos, the greek god of Death.
I use this photo as model.

If you know who is the model, please tell me!

Something about Thanatos from Wikipedia:
In Greek mythology, Thanatos (Greek: Θάνατος (Thánatos), "Death," from θνῄσκω - thnēskō, "to die, be dying") was the daemon personification of death. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person.
[...]
Thanatos was regarded as merciless and indiscriminate, hated by—and hateful towards—mortals and the deathless gods. But in myths which feature him, Thanatos could occasionally be outwitted, a feat that the sly King Sisyphus of Korinth twice accomplished. When it came time for Sisyphus to die, Zeus ordered Thanatos to chain Sisyphus up in Tartarus. Sisyphus cheated death by tricking Thanatos into his own shackles, thereby prohibiting the demise of any mortal while Thanatos was so enchained.
[...]
In later eras, as the transition from life to death in Elysium became a more attractive option, Thanatos came to be seen as a beautiful Ephebe. He became associated more with a gentle passing than a woeful demise.

I think a lot more people would be willing to die if death looked like that...

Well, death is shaped by what's inside of us. If we see it as a good thing it will be beautiful, while if we are frightened by it, it could be creepy and ugly.
I love the concept of the death in our lifetime, that's why I see him as a good-looking guy.
/sorry for bad english *sigh*/

Hehe actually your English is wonderful, so no need to apologize.

And I do agree with you about death. It's a very intriguing thing to consider, and a good thing in the long run, but also (for me and, I think, for most people) frightening up close.
