Some Matthew Lerch scales I did for a dagger for the Arts in Metal show, with a couple WIP shots.

really appreciate the little details!! Was it a commission or your own thoughts? Is that a mask of sorrow he’s holding with the I assume violin? The curves on the scythe and hourglass are nice, most people’s scythes look anemic instead of deadly. Thanks for pushing the envelope and showing the rest of us how it’s done.

The theme was my proposal. The mask is the mask of compassion.
