And the Lord said "It is good."

Agggh, my poor right hand is screaming out in agony right now. I've been holding the stylus for a good three hours finishing this thing! But at last it's done and the preview pics can be moved to the Scraps section! Here is the description from the sketch for those of you who don't know what this is.

Inspired by the four horsemen of the apocalypse mentioned in the Bible. It's not hard to tell which one is which, but I had fun doing my own takes on them. I'd like to put them into a story someday, or at least make a colored picture.

From top to bottom:

Death- She is the eldest of the group, existing since the first mortal creature was made. She has access to both Heaven and Hell and takes the souls of the dead to be judged and then delivers them to their final resting places. All living things fear her but she's actually quite charming in person.

Famine- Although small and thin she has an enormous appetite and is never full. She's very young and loves candy and sweets most of all, but she'll eat pretty much anything that's edible, and even some things that aren't.

Pestilence- Also called Plague for short. He's a walking biohazard and commands an army of creepy crawly things. He is best known for his work on the ten plagues of Egypt and his poor personal hygiene.

War- He often leads the group and is a powerful warrior, a strategist and a grizzled veteran. He knows over a thousand different ways to kill a person with a toothpick. Fighting is his favorite hobby in the world and he believes that pro wrestling is fake.

Interesting concepts... I was asked to play famine in an RP a while ago... I chose a severe anorexic... A slightly more modernized ideal of what that horseman is... I like your concept, though... NEAT! And the drawing is cool, too... ;)

If Love is surrender, then whose War is it anyway?

I knew the final version was gonna rock, and it does! And so much more.

I like the dominant hues for each of the characters and the tiny nuances in the coloring, especially on the individual candies.
