Link to Art: The Death Sentence
Art Submission:

A man is sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit. At the same time, the man had brought a child into the world. A good man, honorable man, and respectable man. Because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, he will never get to see his son grow up to be the same kind of man. His son will never know his father. He will wonder, he will have questions, and he will learn the truth.

Spoiler:


To further explain my style, I had planned to go a completely different direction with this when I drew the Reaper and the Man in the center. My plan changed when I decided to place a child into the scenario. So if everything seems a little off on the right side of the image, that's why. As far as the extra bits of grey floating around the image, I decided to keep them in place for effects, It sort of helps ME bring the image together a little bit. I also want to point out that I (for the most part) erase the background and made it black. I suppose I did this merely to emphasize the dark mood of the story and thus the art. Other than all of that, I did this drawing with a mechanical pencil and some colored pencils.
