"If the cold or the current doesn’t get you, the eels will!” That’s what the baron’s children were told of the brook behind the garden when they played too close to its moss-slick banks- and yet still they clamored for eel on their table nearly thrice a day.

Whether smoked for the winter, jellied in the summer, or oily little elvers for the months in between, some luckless kitchen hand had to scrabble down the levee each dawn and haul in a dozen wicker traps full of the writhing things.

There never was an accident, not for years- and it didn’t happen to who you’d think. The baron’s eldest son went out one April morning and wasn’t found ’til June, when the swell from the snowmelt ceased. Curiosity got him leaning in to look at those basket traps, then the current and cold water filled his lungs when he fell in. There wasn’t more to it, for there was so little of him left. Seems the eels had the last say, fattened and tasty all the while on his flesh. Drowning:

Death

Ghost/after life?

All of there are dark and grey to show death or the person suffering in them. Has a different look to it having more brighter accent color used and death being not there. Also the foreground is focued on the dress in this lower one with wispy marks to show the materials and then hard light and dark for the cards and the hands.

This Book cover is a rework of the old tale. About a poor fisherman choosing death to be godfather to his son, Made a choice to surely as no man was honest than death. Death gives the fisherman a gift that seems to be the key to the family, but when greed overcomes the fisherman. Learning that nobody can truly cheat death.

It shws godfather death who is in the middel, riding a white horse and holding scythe. The surrounding pillars look like a castle or the towers and through one arched window is the sun and then the other is the moon to show day and night. The lines on the horse to show shadow are like a wood block print, multiple lines like shading in a comic book. The sides show dark grass and little tufts but it is flat and the same colour in the front and the back. This is not the kind of style I work in, mine is more like the book illustraions where the background is smaller and shows depth.

Godfather Death illustrations.

IIIustration of Godfather Death, by John B in 1914.

Death here takes the form of a withered old man, he looks weak and frail. It's a strange portrayal, but works. If death is this entity, he doesn't know any better. It makes sense that he'd patrol the earth, looking for his next target- whether or not that's random. It looks as though he picks up trinkets, odds and end from the people he's killed. He's wearing remnants of what looks to be the iconic death robe, which also blends into what looks like a pirates hat. This is adorned with a feather- potentially from another victim? He's wearing scruffy worn down shorts and strange old shoes. Everything looks decrepit, weak and worn. It shares a similar look to my own art style, as everything is very sketchy- made up of lots of lines. I like the design of Death, it reminds me of an old wizard, adding a fantastical element to the drawing. I like the use of lines to form stronger darker areas. It's scruffy, but works as intended. The scythe is over the top in size, I assume to highlight the fact that it represents Death. it reminds me of a cartoon in a way, with the scale.

The Fable Focus.

It's two people talking about the story of the Godfather Death, which can make it hard to understand. I did like hearing the story and found it interesting coming from two people. Yes, I found this normal for the time. No I wouldn't have changed the composition as I forgot to mention it.

Illustrations of the Godfather Death, this has shown a simpler version of it by the sketchy look of it, which works well with the style of it and can contrast well with my own.

This one definitely looks the oldest as it's black and white. Has that fuzzy look with no writing. This one is nowhere near my style.

This one feels very comic book-like with the layout and a ton of colour used.
