Description Die is German for "the"......I really like how this one came out, it started off as a vent drawing because Easter sucked but I decided to make more out of it. I also experimented a lot in the colouring.

I assumes it's because of potential blood splatter

Looks like that rabbit didn't run run run fast enough. XD This is just brilliant.Poor little rabbit. Good work on it's expression. And the sky really reflects the mood and what's happening in the image.

Yes "die" does mean "the" in German....but somehow I don't think that's really then right context here

It makes me wonder where you get your ideas/inspirations. While everyone seems to be all over the background, I guess it's also time I say the characters on this one are just plain fantastic. I seriously like the design of the executioner/executionist/whatever you call it. Great job, as always.

Slainmonkey In reply to jmaf [2011-05-02 00:06:53 +0000 UTC]

Inspirations for me comes from watching a lot of animation....you have no idea how helpful that is. I too was really happy with how the Executioner came out, it's really a fine balance to make something both cartoony and yet seem genuinely sinister and intimidating. I'm just glad I was able to pull it off.

kevintheman [2011-04-30 03:06:15 +0000 UTC]

The colors is one of the biggest strengths of this due to how it really brings the picture to life, and the background and the shading adds to that strength too. The rabbit's expression fits perfectly with the scene set up of this, and I also like the details you put into the tree stump in the foreground too.

AbominationBurger [2011-04-29 16:31:39 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, I seriously love this! The reddish colours of the sky and leaves along with the bare tree really add to the sinister feeling of the image, which really contrasts the little pink bunny (which I just noticed kinda looks like the rabbit in my icon!) I also love the executioner character, although he has no mouth or nose, his eyes are so expressive.

Great job once again mate!

Haha! Yeah, I dunno, it just looks really cool. I know you said it just started as a vent drawing, but it looks like loads of thought has gone into it.
