Description

"The slayer steps into the factory hall and finds herself face to face with the ominous gatekeeper. Despite the uneven odds, she instinctively draws her pistols, though her adversary stands motionless. His stoic silence allows her the rare luxury of surveying the environment before making the next move. One way or another, she's determined to pass and knows it won't be easy. Time to die..."

Created for DA's Resident Evil "Envision the Executioner" contest, this was sort of a mixed media piece as the executioner is a physical action figure that was lit, photographed and Photoshoped into my Vue render. Once in the scene, I overpainted the textures, added additional details and cleaned up the figure a bit before finishing up with some additional lighting treatments. The additional chains were rendered in the 3d scene and wrapped over the figure in Photoshop as well. The scene is Stonemason's Ministry set, though it's been made into a much wider room to accommodate lots of axe swinging. V4 plays Alice and in my version of the RE universe, packs a samurai sword for when things get ugly. Thanks for looking!

I'd say things have already gotten "ugly". That axe looks particularly septic. Your bad guy has a good "Leatherface" quality. One of the first things I noticed was the Ministry set widened. Well done. Whether it was part of your concept or not, I don't know, but my very first impression was that the blade looked like a giant boot. Excellent job all around, textures, lighting, composition.
