As the title says, I'm remaking my old 'Death' piece. I suppose because I like it even though there are a few problems with it. Anyway:

also for comparison purposes:

I'll redo the fading of the cloud with a stylised dithering but I wanna make sure everything else is good first.

I'd give the hood a more droopy shape, speshly at the bottom.

The clouds were a good idea but didn't look that good. If you can find a way to execute them then put them back, otherwise leave it. They should be more intertwined with the rest of the piece.

what do you think of this crappily done edit?

The clouds might look nice clinging to him. Maybe swirling slightly.

I'm not the best at pixel art, but I kind of like the thought of mixing your original idea with the updated version, sort of like he is standing in a thickish fog that is wafting around him.

I did a super quick(like a couple minutes) thing to show you what I ment. kind of to have it aroung him/overlapping him slightly:

(I didn't edit out what Tanuki put in your update I now realize it looks a bit confusing xP)

but I also sort of like what Tanuki did which sort of looks 'fumey' like hes a block of dry ice with smokey stuff emmiting off of him. although at parts, it sort of looks more like smoke, as if he was moving foward/slashing his sickle around quickly.

but good luck with the piece. I like it, its neat and dramatic.

edit: changed the wording..I did this edit thinking Tanuki was the OP posting an update. didn't pay attention. sorry to edit on you edit.
