I drew this a long time ago vectored it a while ago and added the simple background just now.
I drew this for no real reason, but now that I'm making a game with Death (the person) I decided to vector it so later on I can use it for something.
Why it has a pentacle inside of it's design, is because I drew it that way back a few years for no real reason and kept it in the design for 1: it didn't look as good without it 2: I might make it a characters weapon (1 of the 5 summoners [you would need to now the story, which you won't find here at DA] I have planned to use a scythe, so she may use this one).

EDIT (03-13-2007)
So after much time I decided to finally fix all the errors I made long ago and never sumbit the change. Seeing how this has somehow become my galleries top fav recently I have finally decided that I should submit the better image. Whats the difference?; I kept the image size in the same size it was made in (in the old version I shrunk it down because dial-up was what everybody had), I removed to border around the handle and blade (it just caused too much of a jagged edge), and lastly I added a light gradient to the fills.
