There is another Grimreaper;  that I have saved from somewhere; probably 
#asscii on IRC because the version I have has Cntrl k 14,1
all down the left off it and if you play it on an IRC channel it looks 
reeeeeeeeelly spooky. Bye the bye ; whatever happened to #asscii
they weren't there last time I popped in for a visit.

An ascii never IS finished, I allways redo works at least ten times.
So, I diddled a little on this. I recently saw the movie 
'The Frighteners' which featured a really cool computer-animated
Grim Reaper. It looked more like this:
(bigger claws, unseen face, bigger weapon (what's it called?))

That's not a weapon, it's a tool. (I don't know the name in English but
it's called "lie" in Swedish, and yes, I own one, it's very good for
cutting grass that's too long for the lawnmower to handle...)

I tweaked what Shimrod did a bit... I added shading for the face area
and unevened the hood and cowl a bit.
btw, the tool is called a scythe, I believe.  And it is used for
reaping...
Hence, a grim "reaper"...  :)
