The most deceiving look created for 'Death' so far that I've seen. Maybe cute Deaths will come to take away the lives of the good people? I talked to some religious folks I know on this(Muslims of course), and they said that Death takes away life beginning from the feet, then slowly work his way up to the legs and the abdomen and then the whole body and lastly away from your head(the most painful part). So you can only imagine how bad will those whose life taken away in a sudden manner feel, for example, decapitation or blown head. "Nothing is more painful than death." That's what the folks at the Funeral Management course told me.
OK...I can go on the whole 9 pages talking about death...Now, on to the drawings. The colors and the fabrics folds are well done! Perhaps it looks awkward to me because it looked like someone captured her image from above while she's performing a type of aerobic exercise...(now who the hell would be doing that with such improper clothing and holds a scythe! Ahahahahaha!) OK, I guess it's just me. While the skull is there only to suggest her 'role', it's been done the same way too many times before by other artists. I think there are other ways to do it. Now that's something new to think about...Only that you may not want to spend too much time thinking about drawing concepts.

lol I don't like the subject of death much, although I find it can inspire some interesting artwork. It's actually something which really depresses me, so I really don't see it as a joke...
I don't see cliches as a crime, or as being incapable of creating the image or message that they are intended to create simply because they are repeated. In fact I think that it would enhance their effectiveness to that purpose. Death himself was a skeleton (so the legend goes) so I don't see how you can escape using the skull symbol when trying to depict the subject xD. Imagine if I had not used skulls or the sythe, would you even know that I was trying to connect this cute girl to death? Anyways I hoped that people would concentrate more on the technique I've used rather than on the originality, because these competition pieces are really not intended for anything else but practice for my hand. It is rare for an artist to become personally attached to something they have created for someone else's purposes. I mean, you can only enjoy doing commissioned portraits to a certain extent. What self respecting artist would not rather choose their own subjects and techniques? Anyways I talk too much

Ahahahaha. Although I might not necessarily agree with it, you explain it thoroughly. Well said! And yeah, I enjoy being involved in arguments like this. You know, to exchange ideas and such, as long as we won't go 'fuck you' to each other. Not everyone can respond to my comments as well as you do!

I like the style, but of course your OC skills are awesome. ^.^ I think the outline around the eyes could be abit darker. It's hard to distinguish it from the skin tone. Not sure what contest this is, but good luck!

all of this under 5hrs?! no way! *looks for shocked expression emoticon, can't find it so i settle for words instead of mini faces*
that's a nice 3d effect on the dress there, the scythe (i think it's called a scythe) could use some darker tones though to make it look more cel shaded & realistic but other than that nice work 
now, back to my artwork.....
*opens up sketch book to reveal pages of artwork covered in dust and cobwebs*
hmmm....i don't remember doing this stuff before
*squints*
