Moaning Death

Description

Is it worth to announce the Death doesn't tear?

"Tearless Death" is the nickname of one of the protagonists of the legendary Hong Kong fastasy comic "Storm Riders", Striding Cloud (步驚雲 or Bù Jīngyún). He is notorious of killing people, even kids, with no mercy nor emotion, thus given the nickname.

Hence came an idea of Moaning Death. I attempted to draw Death inhuman but failed, a human face was drawn, thus adding an idea of "slipping humanity". She knelt down by deep sadness and burst into tears for dead.

I didn't think of solid background story. Perhaps some really sad tragedies or the job she need to do, though I can't imagine what tragedy can break the heart of a killing machine.

I had heard a line from a dojinshi of Samurai Spirit: Dead could only rest in peace and transmigrate into new life with someone's tears. And unfortunately some souls didn't have people cried for them... then Nakoruru cried for them. It was pretty romantic line for me.

Maybe she feel a little bit of remorse because of her actions. People sadness burdened her heart. They couldn't bear the sadness when one of their relatives passed away.
