kind of reminds me of the shinigami from death note, but it does look intriguing. . .

That's a character from the late 90's early 00's American SF series called Farscape. The main antagonist Scorpius in fact.



I'm fairly certain, the colouring is a little off.

It's an excellent series, very Doctor Who-ish. I highly recommend it.

Well, 'excellent' is a slight exaggeration, but it is fairly good.

If I can't use excellent willy-nilly what kind of child of the 90's would I be?

That's exactly the problem of the series: it's too childish to be called excellent.

We though of that, but then why is he on stilts? I see it but I don't think that's him.

Well, that's a distinct possibility, it has enough inconsistencies to only be Scorpius-like.



I found this while Googling Scorpius, although the person who posted it didn't know who it was supposed to be either and made the same guess I did while claiming he/she was sure it wasn't.

The owl and the alien woman seem connected to him, take from that what you will.

Kinda reminds me of The Gentlemen from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to be honest... http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gentlemen

It's not though.
