(Image description: a digital painting in dark grey, dark brown, midtone and light gold, and a pale grey blue. It depicts a figure of Death, with a dark feather cloak, a gold collar, and a floating canine skull that has a few light feathers at the back. The background is shadowy. End description)
Death as a character is rather important in the story I'm writing. I like to draw them with a dog skull face because many real world cultures through all of history have associated dogs with their death gods, or just with the concept of death itself.
Dog-faced gods of death, dogs who guard the underworld, dogs who lead souls to the underworld, death gods with dog companions, church grims, etc. Dogs and Death just seem to be pretty well associated with each other. So my version of Death in my fantasy story has a dog skull face.
