darksiders: War and Death

War and Death.

The result of replaying Darksiders 1 and 2... again.

I think Death was a far more awesome character than War. His voice actor was fantastic, the design was great, and I absolutely loved his nimble acrobatics. Of course, I know that War was made purposefully less graceful, more heavy and focusing on brute force so as to better represent what he was.
To my eyes though, Death was cooler! But my opinion on this is biased for I always fall for Death if the character is present in a story. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

My muse delivered this painting idea together with a crappy little poem that would not leave my mind. So here it is:

Heretofore the dawn of time
Two amaranthine lovers, side by side
Sorrow and strife their one true crime,
War and Death do so stride.

For wherever War might tread
Death, his swain, is not far behind.
Joined by an everlasting thread,
Indulging in delights darker than night.

Their devotion to one another?
Simply sublime.
