Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Sculptor is a 2015 Graphic Novel written and illustrated by Scott McCloud.David Smith is a struggling sculptor living in New York City. In the past year, he has lost a major investor due to some disagreements (and David's own temper with other people), sold exactly zero sculptures, and is at risk of being kicked out of his cheap loft.But just as things are at their darkest, David makes a deal with Death itself: to have the ability to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. Of course, such a deal comes with a price: namely, David will die in exactly 200 days.With this firm deadline, David struggles to make a name for himself with his art. But, between figuring out just what he wants to create and discovering the love of his life, David's final days will be filled with both success and heartbreak...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ambiguous Ending / Bittersweet Ending: Bittersweet bordering on Downer Ending, anyway. Meg dies in a meaningless truck accident while out running errands. Death disappears for another millennium. David is shot by the NYPD and falls to his death from a skyscraper. However, David finally creates the sculpture he always wanted to create and is finally recognised. The detective who shares David's name, who we only meet in the last few pages of the book, calls his wife to tell her he's alive, showing that life goes on.

Affably Evil: Death, who is both friendly and comforting to David even though he's a (mostly) unfeeling force, and probably the closest to the story's Big Bad.
