In my last days of vacation, with friendly, but cold days, I thought to make a long planned project. It is a Jolly Roger on a black flag with quite huge measures - 150x250 cm. The motive is based on both the anthro design for my characters, and this folk song of the seventeenth century:
"The grim death with his dart
does aim for living
with haste he shoots his bow
and isn't reasonable
Life, it fades like smoke in wind
no flesh can flee him
He lacks space for wealth and goods
you must come with him
No man on earth can you tell
when he has to leave
when death comes and nocketh
one has to open him
By force he takes old and young
Does not shy at anyone
The kings's staff he will break soon
and guides him to the round-dance
Maybe today is your last day
you still have left to life
Oh, mortal, listen to what I say:
Virtue you shall seek for
Like countless men's it's our turn
who hoped for many years to come
and has today, while sun does shine,
rot in the hell fire!"
It was pretty easy to bring the lines on the cloth, but a PAIN INT HE ASS to get the bloody colouring done...
