Are You Next?
How about that? Simple, easy, and it kind of reminds me of Goosebumps! (Book Series) Or something like that... maybe it was a different book series... like... GAH! I can't remember what it was called.. something like "blah blah in the dark". Bah, who knows. I'm going to bed. lol

The scythe curve is fine. That's about how they look, except yours is all fancy.
The drawing looks fine, but it doesn't look like death is a skeleton inside. Looks more like a man with the muscles you portray. Nothing wrong with that, just the classic grim reaper is a skeleton.
As for symbols of death, there are thousands. Look outside of christian influence for some really strange/amazing designs. I would suggest starting with buddhism. This would add more depth to your case than skulls.
Re: Grim Reaper Engraving Idea(s)
personally, i'd rip off somebody else's engraving and use the diablo-style font for "are you next" - and i might even drop the grim reaper and show the scythe. your scythe drawing looks pretty badass imo.
maybe make the focus of the engraving the blade of the scythe and engrave the text along the blade.

Yeah I am meaning to fix that. Thats the one thing that was really getting on my nerves. But I was going to see if anyone noticed it or if it was just me. I might leave it I might not. I will probably change it around some more when I redraw it. lol I still have to draw that hand. I keep forgetting about that!
Thanks for the tips! I looked up things like death on wikipedia... I found alot of pretty great stuff. lol but nothing from the Christians... weird.

That diablo style is pretty cool looking I gotta admit! I'll take a better look at it a bit later. Maybe even look at some other games, since they seem to have the coolest font around!
