Commercial Use OK! For Images of Project Failure or Bankruptcy

This is a very impactful illustration showing the Grim Reaper with a large scythe standing right next to a businessperson in a suit sitting in an office chair. This character illustration symbolizes 'death' in business—namely, the crisis of bankruptcy, business withdrawal, fatal project failure, or dismissal (layoffs). It is also suitable for expressing themes such as mental pressure from deadlines and quotas, and health risks from overwork. It is a free illustration that can be used to convey the seriousness of a problem in content appealing for the importance of risk management or in introductions to business turnaround consulting. It is a commercially available free material.

The benefit of this illustration is its overwhelming impact, which can instill a strong sense of crisis in the viewer. When warning about risks or dangers, showing this single image can be far more effective than using many words. In advertisements and landing pages that appeal to the importance of preparing for unforeseen events, such as insurance products or security services, it can function as a hook to attract user attention and prompt action. Despite its shocking expression, it is character-based and not overly morbid, making it an easy-to-use free asset. Add strong appeal to your content with this commercially usable free illustration.
