Description

Commissioned by :iconssjcharon:

Technically "The Seventh Seal" is not a horror movie, but in a season where Death is glorified and marketed, where we go outside dressed as ghouls and skeletons, and people hang macabre decorations from their houses, talking about a movie that's primordially about Death makes a lot of sense to me. I also had way too much fun recreating one of the most iconic images in film history in pony format. It was enjoyable doing those clouds, and setting on a definite design for my interpretation of Death as a pony. Of course it has to be an Alicorn, it's Death! Also Movie Slate is a cheater. She totally brawl beat poor Death into a corner and now it has no other option but to let Movie Slate off the hook. By the by, you might think the board is placed incorrectly, but if you check the pictures of this scene you will see that the board is definitely placed like that. Really weird, I know, but all to keep the veracity of the moment!

I really recommend you all to watch this movie, actually. It's one of the most important movies ever made, the type that some full-of-themselves know-it-all critics would call a cornerstone in the art of film making. And for good reason! It's a movie that has managed to surpass its own lifespan and become universally relevant. There is nothing more relateable for all living things on Earth than death. It knows no religion, social standard, gender, or skin color. It's impartial in a level that's beyond the grasp of everything and everyone. Seriously, watch this movie, in fact watch it with your friend or group of friends, because it could spark a really interesting conversation. Let me know if you do so, and tell me how it turns out!

I hope you guys enjoy this one! Please let me know what you think in the comments.
