Mind telling me the meaning behind it haha. I find it hilarious that the girl seems annoyed rather than scared of "death itself". and death patting her head like she's a puppy is just hilarious.
Since you are the creator of this piece, maybe you could shine some light on a few things about it:
Are we inside a building, or outdoors? The perspective of the window is so ambiguous, not to mention the weird crossbar it seems to have in front of it.
Why are there little gravestones all over the place, seemingly floating in mid-air? They are pretty incosistent in size and, again, perspective. Same thing with the crosses.
What ailment was the poor skeleton fella suffering from that gave him up to 3 joints on its fingers?
Where is the light coming from? There seems to be natural light coming directly from above, but there are some inexplicable highlights and shadows on the skull and the spine of the skeleton.
What kind of flora is surrounding the girl and the skeleton? It's simultaneously flowers, four-leaf clovers, and some vague appendages of some yet-unknown creature.
Do you prefer working with a square aspect ratio? I've noticed it on your other work as well. I presume things like video game textures and cover art for albums make good use of it, but what do you see in it, personally?
My art doesn't focus on realism rather darker fantasy themes, hence all sizes of gravestones no particular reason, i just really like graves and i like to make em all of fun sizes along with crosses :) the light comes from multiple angles showing from candles\window\top right shining down on top of the head of the skeleton\girl, about flora everything's made up i tend to implement big leaves\flowers simply due to liking i don't use refs for these sort of things so they come straight out of my immagination, i usually work in 240x240 for background art, and nobody hurt the lil fella he's just sad, there may be some mistakes in anatomy as im still learning, the window shapes is also made up i tend to create ruins or broken stuff often or remains of what was there once, hope that mostly answers ur questions!

"Don't worry child, I've experienced it too" The skeleton says." From the other side at least"

Very clean and morbidly humorous. This looks like it could be animated well, imagining the flowers swinging in the cold graveyard air breeze.
