My friend, the Grim Reaper

Ray's left with a special gift after a car accident that almost killed him: He can see and talk to Death. How? Nobody knows, not even Death herself. But they make the most of it. Follow the adventures of Ray and Dee! Official blog for the new webcomic DeeRayled.

[deerayled]

Welcome to my new WebComic DeeRayled! The comic will revolve around Ray and his adventures (aka daily life) with his very uncommon companion Death and of course his cat, Chester.

The comics will be shorts and mostly comedic. This is my first time starting a webcomic so if you have suggestions and feedback please let me know!

Just Some GuyTM Ray and his best friend, the Grim Reaper.

Everything you need to know about Ray!

Appearance

176 cm (5′7)

Male

(tired) Bisexual

Green eyes, black hair

Slim build, but not a twink (he’s pretty much a Twunk)

Half Japanese/Half Dutch

His hair is quite messy and he often has unshaved stubble

looks like he hasn’t slept in 3 days

Personality

Soft and kind hearted. He really has a heart for people in need and a big desire for change. He’s a reporter and uses his writing skill set to reach the hearts of people and raise awareness for important topics. He loves to write about ordinary people.

Very curious and ridiculously impulsive. His hunger for information is never stilled. He often does a lot of stupid things, sometimes getting into trouble, because of his impulsivity.

Goofy. I wouldn’t say he’s the funniest guy you know, but he enjoys a good dose of humour and shits and giggles every now and then. And of course weird ass shenanigans.

A fucking nerd. He is a big Pokemon fan and of course loves other video games too. He is also a major bookworm and has his own personal library.

Has a big interest in the supernatural, legends and folk lore. He has a ton of books on these subjects and he knows a lot of ghost stories from the top of his head. He loves visiting creepy and possibly haunted places. And of course, he’s into horror. Might I add, he’s also a bit of a monsterfucker. Look at this man.

He LOVES cooking and is very passionate about good food. Especially Ramen, Ramen is his favourite and he will info dump on you about how amazing it is when prepared correctly. That being said, he’s also tired 24/7 and often struggles to come up with enough energy to cook for himself so instant Ramen it is.

Ray’s special talent

I can’t talk about Ray without mentioning Dee.

Ray has the unique ability to talk and see Death/The Grim Reaper, which he started lovingly calling ‘Dee’. He obtained this ability involuntarily after a near death experience in a car accident. There’s a lot to say about this but I don’t want to spoil too much, you’ll have to read the story ;D

But it’s safe to say that Dee changed his life a great deal. Even though she’s sometimes annoying and has the worst timing, they have become quite good friends. Dee has shown him aspects of life he wasn’t aware of (which is quite ironic) and in turn Ray teaches her about humans. And, of course, Dee finally gets a friend.

The most beautiful thing I’ll read today.

It’s hard to live your daily life when Death is trying to get your attention. But not in the way you think.

Dee has been trying to get his attention for more than that. She’s still trying to ask him for his help with something. Ray just never bothered to ask after she disappeared. It’s no wonder Dee has to revert to drastic measures.

But the question remains: What does she want?!

Do you also just have this fear of someone suddenly standing in your bedroom at night? Lucky for us it’s usually nothing but a shadow. Not for Ray.

This happened exactly this once, and then never again. One, because Ray made some strict rules about Dee’s visiting hours, and two, Dee was genuinely afraid she might scare Ray to death )no pun intended).

Happy Halloween!

I wanted to draw my character Dee (aka Death) in a scary setting.

DeeRayled now available on Webtoons!

Ray is trying live a normal life, but that's a lot harder that it seems. After a fateful accident, which almost cost him his life, he's not only left with (mental) scars, but also with the ability to see and communicate with Death. It really does not make life any easier, ironically. On top of that, Death actually asks for his help. What could she possibly want?

I decided to post the comics on Webtoons as well!

[deerayled]

Did you ask yourself why Ray calls Death ‘Dee’? Well, now you know why. It’s really just that simple.

She seems happy with it. And Ray still doesn’t know what she needs his help with.

[deerayled]

Ray explains the event which led him to be able to communicate with Death.

Goodness, I can’t believe it took me so long to finally post this second part. I thought a little origin story was in order before we can kick off the funny comics.
