are you talking about this? cause if ya are, then it's not ryuk/l/light, it was (i believe) the original concept art for ryuk that didn't pass with the author.

if that's not what youre looking for, OH WELL, it's still a hot picture :3

Uh, what? If you're talking about this, he is not Death Note related. He is drawn by the same artist but he is Death for a tarot card illustration project.

But 215890 is right that Ryuuk was originally supposed to be a very handsome bishounen. But he out-classed Light too much and Ohba wasn't satisfied, so Ryuuk ended up being a fugly monster.

That isn't true, that was just wild speculation by fans when they first got a hold of this image. You are spreading misinformation and perpetuating ignorance if you keep telling people that.

I recall that information (about Ryuuku originally being a bishounen) was from an official source, although I can't remember right now what it was. The How To Read -books? The info went around before anyone had even seen that picture anyway.

The HTR book came out after the series ended. That (very much false) theory was around LONG before them, and was triggered by this image. The Shinigami were always meant to look large and strange, not hot. It has been proven many times over that>>215894is not Ryuuk.

Actually, the HTR book released after the series ended was HTR 13 - there are several HTRs that were released during the series.
Anyway, on this page http://www.deathgod.org/main.php?x=info/interview4 is Ooba and Obata's interview, and if you search the page for 'Ryuk', you'll see them mention the human-looking Ryuk.

To sum it all up:

1) The pic in>>215894is not and never was related to DN, it's all just fan speculation.

2) It's true that Obata thought of bishie!Ryuk first, but those concept scans have never been shown anywhere. (source: http://www.deathgod.org/main.php?x=info/interview4)

End of story.
