This is Kid Grim, a.k.a Henry Arkwright.

Big hair, Big weapon, Big mouth = Big problem!!

The idea behind this picture is that the legendary Grim Reaper had let the toils of his notoriously busy, yet largely unappreciated career get him down a bit, hitting rock bottom and the bottle, rather hard as a result.

So one night, after one too many and an intimate moment spent  with a pole dancer named Zola (Not her real name!), who he'd met at one of the sleaziest strip joints imaginable, an unfortunate accident occurred, one which he wouldn't remember the morning after and one that she would try  to put right on several occassions following, but to no avail.

There was no stopping it now, she was to become the mother of a little baby Grim.

And here he is, depicted as teenager, seens he grew into a right little reaper, learning the ropes to one day follow in father's footsteps.

(I know he doesn't look all Death-like, but he is half human-half mythos so that gives him the abillity to choose his form at any particular time, I may yet do a more skeletal verion!)

He woukx make a nice game character I guess, but 'Death jr' beat me to that one unfortunately.

Graphics gale as always!!

Why do you ask? He is just a character idea of mine from way back, never did anything with him though, the idea was that the grim reaper had let the toils of his career get him down a bit and hit the bottle rather hard, so due to a few too many drinks and a one night stand with a pole dancer, 'Zola', that he met at one of the sleaziest strip joints imaginable an accident took place, one which he wouldn't remember in the morning and one that she would try  to put right on several occassions, but to no avail, there was no stopping it, she was to be the mother of a little baby grim and here he is grown into a right little reaper, learning the ropes to one day follow in father's footsteps.

It was a game concept, but  I guess 'Death jr' kinda beat me to that one so the short answer to your question would be no, unfortunately.

I don't know if I'd call the animation "beautiful" (It only moves a pixel or two), but the shading is nice.

For some reason this animation reminds me of story book illustrations. I dont know why! I guess it just sort of has it's own style, and doesnt look like the average manga style hero. Which I dig! Nice work.
