The Reaper

“The butterflies are souls, each flutters away after a person has passed. The Reaper collects them to be able to release them later, in their proper place. Right now, the Reaper has a lot of work to do. War is raging…”

I started drawing this as an entry for the Reaper October 2015 monthly on Cubebrush, but I couldn’t finish it in time. I finished in 2016.

I incorporated some elements of the Norse Goddess Hel(a) and viking burials.
