This is the coolest. I love that monster and his crazy creepy hands; the eerie lighting is a plus too. He reminds me of a particularly malevolent eel of sorts. :U

Ooo, love the boy's expression, and the nightmare thing FREAKS me out. Reminds me of...irish kepies? Like, water horse demon freaky things. I like the colors, thought it was traditional till I got a closer look. Brown and blue = sexy together.
