Description-

'She looks behind her to see a group of slow moving zombies chasing her. She finally slows down, and catches her breath as she realizes she has outrun the disgusting brain thirsty creatures. She continues walking down the corridor, with the assumption that she's walking to the exit, ending her horrid journey. As she walks further and further into the darkness, she notices a sign that says dead end. From within the shadows, a towering, menacing figure holds its axe as it walks towards her. She screams in terror, and attempts to flee, but the heavy axe finds its way towards her, slamming the ground. Whether she lives or not... that's something we'll just never know.'

I worked meticulously hard on this digital painting, working on it as soon as I heard about the contest. This is all painted in with Photoshop CS4 and with Wacom Intuos 4 Medium Tablet. I wanted the axe to almost be a character all of its own; Blood thirsty, gritty, and visceral. When you think of the Executioner, chances are you mention his axe first, and that's what makes him so friggin' scary. I loved working on the texture of this piece. It was insanely difficult, but I believe I pulled off the mood and effect very well. Also, I didn't want too many things to distract from the main elements of this piece. I was originally going to do a piece with Alice fighting the Executioner, but I didn't think this would offer a sense of terror/horror like having an unknown character whom you're not sure can fight back would.
