in the mood to post works in progress today so here I'll introduce you to my Harlequin and Death characters (not just because I realized there is nothing in the tag I made for them LOL)

they started as a doodle inspired by similar paintings by Konstantin Somov but now I draw them in so many situations they've taken on a life on their own. The underlying theme every time is that The Harlequin taunts Death with his foolish actions, yet Death can never seem to get a chance to take his soul away. Chaos ensues :D

first pic is one of their many meetings, second is alternate outfits for the Harlequin, third is Harlequin urging Death to drink (ignore my google translate Italian lol), and the last time I drew them was in a cowboy au type thing xD
