Since the Executioner got no face.. I used in this Illustration my character's face to show how frightening and scary the executioner is. enhanced this feeling by the dramatic poses, the colors and the narrow tunnel. taking in consideration the boundaries of the movie theme and tone. My target was to express the violence in an indirect way, and leaving the rest to the audience imagination. inspiring him with the name.
Jesus this contest is just filled with ridiculously awesome entries with unbelievably beautiful entries ... usually a contest gets a couple good ones but this one has more magnificent ones that crappy ones!
Nice piece. I would crop just a bit off the right side to off-center the guy. And also push a secondary light source to show off more detail on the executioner
