Thanks Zeph I always like to tell a story through my art, and give the viewer's eye somthing more to look at. I find little elements added can re enforce the main theme and tell the story! 

your critique helped me out alot! Thank you! I actually am using Photoshop CS2, I never heard of Art rage until yesterday thanks to mjanowski and Geir. and I can use painter, but it's quite cumbersome adjusting settings of various brushes. My love is Photoshop. I find it much more user friendly than Painter! plus I can edit things so much more quickly! plus Photoshop has awesome fx layers! and Textures! I highly reccomend them for your future creative endeavors! Thanks again!

ZephyrA:

a-m I think its sometimes okay to have an unfinished bit here and there in these challenges...I'd rather see what you got done than not get to see anything at all if you had dropped out. You picked a tough idea and worked your butt off to show us what you want us to see. I think Mr Barker would love it if you sent them a link.

 Thanks for saying so. I don't think I'd send it though, I might freak him out. 

Freak out Clive Barker???! With his mind I don't think it would phase him.

Some more moves on my entry.

Argh! Just noticed this challenge! Hmm, 6 hours, well, I can do some speed painting. Anyway, all of this is about fun. First WiP of Novice Cenobite

Second WiP, going for final after a rest.
