As an experiment on my new tablet I redrew this old character illustration and added some textures.
Original character illustration, loosely based on The Death card from the major arcana of the tarot. I am not a tarot expert, but The Death card always interested me because it is outwardly such a “scary” card, but is ultimately a symbol of change and growth.
