Lady Death


A mix of a snake-mole, the image of Lady Death comes from finding the creatures in carcases and in graveyards. Cruel, she finds boredom the worst form of  punishment and keeps spirits fixed to their bones to disintegrate in mind and matter. This is the fate of people who do nothing, but fritter their lives away doing no good or evil all their lives. 
Her eyes don't glow, but are very bright red and her voice like echoing whispers. One of the more powerful gods, but not openly worshiped.

Self Portrait



Not happy with this at all, but I can't poke around on it anymore. I will try again at a different point. So irritating and it took waaaaaaay too long to get what I got. X< So irritated!
Did learn things though, so that is good...'bout the only happiness I'm getting from it.
