The picture you see above was the first attempt at a page header for The Grindhouse (coming soon! To a theatre near you!). I commissioned it from The MASMan, who I found at Deviantart, and all I asked for was: 1) a badass Final Girl, who was 2) protecting her boyfriend, who was wounded and cowering from 3) a Slasher who was at least a little different from your stereotypical masked machete-swinger.
I think I got what I wanted. Our Heroine is badass, the slasher is distinctive…but as much as I liked it, I decided it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. Our Heroine here is in a defensive posture, and I wanted it to be 100% clear that our slasher has messed with the wrong Final Girl this time, and is about to get his ass kicked so hard that there may not be a sequel.
So I commissioned another drawing, and that was everything I could have hoped for.
