" The women pulled their children out of the path as he passed. No one would jostle the Executioner as he walked towards the village square.
Though his muscles were kept in shape and the envy of every man, such family ties were not for him. No wife would wish to wake next to a husband who brought death to men daily.
Instead he had respect. The villagers were in awe of the hooded man, and of his grisly weapon. Stained by the acidic blood of many victims, the polished blade gleamed in the dawn sunlight, reflecting the final moments of the unlucky souls who awaited his presence.
The Executioner stifled the satisfied smile that pulled at his solemn expression as even strong men ran to cross the street, to avoid so much as an accidental touch as he passed. As always he continued his journey, alone. "

I have been a fan of fantasy art for a long time. It is a genre of art that illustrates the magical and the supernatural beings and environments. Wizards, dragons, warriors, fairies and other mythical creatures are common in fantasy art. Often depicted in a colorful way with great attention to detail.
Here I did a somewhat dark style painting depicting a fantasy executioner before putting a condemned person to death. My first attempt at fantasy work after years of working in other genres. I especially like the color induced atmosphere and the unreal, mythic-like executioner figure. I imagine him being all psyched up just before delivering a powerful blow of death.
Oh my, this picture is really good, I love the way how you made the bit where the executioner is holding look like wood and the dry blood dripping background which does give it a dark and evil feeling...Also his robes and hood suits it very well.
This has a real feeling of menace around it. I can see the execution-style clothes he is wearing, and that is blended in with the surrealism of fantasy. Anything is possible. He looks part judgmentor part undead creature, and I really like how you blended the two in together into the one painting.
I really enjoy this art and these are some of the coolest pics I found. I like best the way the lighting is done in the pics, but in this one I particularly like the massive axe.
I like how u just draw anything u have in ur mind without being afraid of expressing it. The executioner was drawn very well because the body language and movement shows the emotion on the executioner.
