Hey,
Love Darksiders, I also really need to work on my stylized stuff so what a good reason to do so.
I have been working on a few concepts, this is the best I have come up with so far.
Looking at doing a Hammer at this stage, but will probably continue working on the concept in 3D to play with scale a bit more cause I'm useless at drawing. Thinking of doing the last one, but this might change as I go.

I call it, Death's Kiss (from a Rose). Death tried to give a rose to his sweet heart, but when she rejected him he turned it into a weapon to take out his romantic frustrations on his enemies.
