IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        1789 : 'declaration des droits de l'Homme' (french Bill of Rights)
        1792 : The Terror (people (including the creator of the guillotine)
                   are executed for (mostly) political reasons)

        (This isn't a french only issue by the way, but it lent itself better
than
        for example, an electric chair for the kind of representation I wanted)


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Nothing very fancy here. 
I searched for pictures of guillotine (and here I must heartily thank Jorn
Fabricius for his 
website (http://www.logp.dk/guillotine) and his help), and then tried to create
as detailed 
a model aas I could master. (no bones, no FFDs, no Nurbs were killed or harmed
during 
the process)
Note, that the lower part of the guillotine doesn't really exist, apart for a
few polygons.
The blood was created with different layers of bump and color mappings.
