SciFi and Fantasy Art: Thanateros

This is a picture I made together with a friend. It is probably my favourite because of the heavy symbolic meaning in it.

I will never understand a cloak with nothing underneath. OH well, it's still awesome.

It's the grim reaper lady! I love things that mean death!

You laugh at me 'cause I'm different. I laugh at you 'cause you're all the same. *Muha ha hah ha!*

Well, who told you death was male anyways? As far as I know the Russian people see HER as a female.

The pic is quite good, too bad you did not do it on your own ;-)

I see something that everyone's missing!! The big, giant snake that makes that nice circle behind her head! Perhaps death can be portrayed by a woman, but everyone will always think of a snake as something evil in a sense. Excellent job! Not only are all your pictures wonderfully drawn, but they all hold so much meaning. This one can in one part turn your entire views of good and evil upside down and in the other reassure them once again, thus leaving you completely without a clue as what comes next. I applaud you whole-heartedly.

Nice work! I like it very much (by the way it lacks a bit of originality, you know...).
You said you like this picture for his meaning, didn't you? Well, if your Thanateros is the same Thanatos of Greek populations I have to correct you: Thanatos, the divinity which represents death (which is not the same of Hades, the god of dead people) is represented by a child with a torch faced-down in his hand.
I'm sorry for the boring explanation!
