The Grim Reaper at the VMA

He turned up to collect an award and brought the scythe anyway.

The hood and the skull came first, then the pole, which stood there with no blade on it for longer than I would like to admit. The trophy settled what the drawing was about. The robe went in near-black before any of the colour did.

The lights came last. Two of them, and they are the only reason he reads as standing on a stage rather than in a field.
