Description "I am the devil, and I am here to do the devil's work."

Here is a piece I've done to celebrate the forthcoming release of "The Devil's Rejects", which is released this friday, June 22. I am a huge fan of the first movie, "House of 1000 Corpses" and Otis B. Driftwood is my favorite character. This version of Otis is from Rejects, and had undergone some changes from how he appeared in his first film where he was albino and beardless. I was at first somewhat disapointed in the changes, but still think he's a "butt-kicker" and wanted to illustrate the new version because though he's different, he's still awesome. *ahem*

That aside, the drawing is ink, watercolor, and acrylic. People seem look at pictures, paintings from left to right I find, and I wanted to change that perception with this painting, using negative space to shift the focus from right to left, to the subject, and then off panel into your own imagination to conclude what horrors may have been visited by the hands of "the devil".

...Or you can check it out friday in theaters!

As always comments are appreciated, I am always very happy to hear what you think, Constant Viewer, or whatever Stephen King would say in this circumstance.

That which I love most about this render is that it has a grainy look to it, like it actually does belong in a horror film. The blood spater and detail in the appendages are amazing. Truly a marvel!

Otis is one of my favourite Rejects, too, tied only with Captain Spaulding and Baby Firefly.

Keke. He's totally striking a glam pose... But other than that, I agree with many people here when they talk about the grunge, the color, and the actual illustration.

i still looked at from left to right, my focus went straight on Otis because he is the focal point. Nice use of negative space, and I like that he is not dead center. I'm a fan of the 1/3'rds. nice work.

Thanks man! I'm a fan if negative space myself (I guess that's obvious) I'm happy you liked it. I wish Rob would consider a prequel so we can get more of that Driftwood we oh so love. But somehow I don't see hell freezing over... Thanks again
