Here I have a second go at the Grim Reaper - an otherwise lame picture I saw inspired me to have another go.

Sorry about the poor quality large version...every single one of my six (six!) graphics programs broke in some way, so I had to use the IMG tags to enlarge it. It's probably useless to you, but I keep it in as a formality.
The shading along the side is merely to mix it up until I get better at detail and texture. The seemingly random darker lines along the joints on the wings are the same. I'm also having trouble getting the second wing visible from this angle. Any help along those or other lines would be great! Thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to put the blood on the palette. Woops!
EDIT2: Also the rope color.

That's the price you pay for pixelizing Death.
I have to leave for work, so I didn't get a chance to play with the wings, but having a glimpse of the second wing between the head and the other wing seems to be the reasonable way to show it. You'll need to add some more detail to them to differentiate the two. I really loved how you did Death's face. I lowered his killing arm, but looking at it now, I think it could probably go either way. Cheers.
Thanks, Brentimous! Edit:

Changes:
Many and small. Wings, rope, etc
EDIT: Didn't want to sound rude?

EDIT: Added some drag and some details, and subtled up the shading.
I really have no critique to give. That sprite is just fine IMO after all the touch ups. Good job :=
