I think this is the first time Death's been particularly forceful with Melody. Must be something awfully important, hm?

I actually considered him actually grabbing her arm (whereas he'd previously only patted her on the head), but I think that would have been too much.

Those of you with bright screens may have noticed that you can no longer see the difference between his "cloak" and his "skull," and anything in between. I also don't need to draw the shadows on him anymore, which is good for me. Bubbles still need a bit better shading, though.

I sketched out Melody's hair, and realized it was still too light where the white hit. So, I put my mid-gray in there underneath. Can you tell? =P

And yes, I DEFINITELY want to try and keep Death's whole "Dark Evil" thing when he starts looming over people like that.
