I’ve always been told everything I draw is cute, so when I was challenged to draw a cute Grim Reaper, the idea of this juxtaposed character soon became the beginnings of this film. The main question I asked was “What if the Grim Reaper was the father of an adoring son?” I played on this idea for a while but couldn’t find a story that focused solely on the relationship of the two without introducing an outside force, namely a third character. This is where the accident-prone crow came in and from there, the story flourished. I found that the crow, being seemingly suicidal, was a cute comparison to the Grim Reaper’s child who, rather than killing things, was instead trying to save it. The story plays with dark humour and is all about the unexpected, a loving Grim Reaper and his child resurrecting a suicidal crow. The quirky characters come together to create a story of love and friendship, no matter how grim they may be.
