"Formerly human... maybe the oldest of the Cenobites. The devastation of time and the constant reconfiguration of the flesh created a being more animal than man... a living testament of the true personification of guttural instinct and the desire to feed."

Because I don't want my friends and watchers to think that I'm no longer into Hellraiser.

It's kind of funny. I didn't enjoy Hellraiser: Bloodline as much as much as I enjoyed the first three films (personally, I think Bloodline would be made of AWESOME if someone would just re-insert at least SOME of the deleted scenes), but I love the ChatterBeast. I want one so it can eat the neighbor's dogs when they come into my yard to chase my cats.

The linework took awhile since decent ChatterBeast pictures are REALLY hard to come by. So, I was stuck using pictures of the NECA action figure and a couple of dark screen captures from the movie, and the two differ from one another significantly...so my ChatterBeast looks a tad different...different enough that I may possibly be able to say that he is a different ChatterBeast from the one in the film thus say he's Luciva's personal puppy-guardian, right?

Aside from a few touch-ups, I actually coloured this piece up in one sitting. I haven't been able to do that in a LONG time. What can I say? Working with textures is FUN.

This ChatterBeast looks better than my Previous Attempt.

I dedicate this piece to =firepixie , because she's made of awesome and win...and she finds the ChatterBeast frightening. Happy Nightmares, girlfriend!

Well, the ChatterBeast here was in the fourth Hellraiser film and the comics had "Pets" in the Labyrinth long before this. I'm glad you like it though.

this is relly neat. Never watched the movie Hellraiser, but if memory serves correctly, I remember as a kid I always had an urge to a hammer to the nails that stuck out of the whaite dude's head. dunno why. Great job though- really creepy.

As a kid, I just vaguely remembered the scene where the Engineer chase Kirsty down the hall...and Pinhead already had those hammered in. They give him character.

Thank you! ^O^

Pretty Cenobite doggy. I also want this guy, but I don't know how my parents will cope with having a monster dog running around the place.

Thank you. I kept looking at a dark screencap from the movie as well as pics of the ChatterBeast action figure to get him to look right...of course the movie version and the toy look slightyl different from one another. >.>;

Damn, you know how to create a horror image.
I'm wondering how much more powerful it would be if the eye was open and looking at the screen...

Sadly his eyes look like they're kind of sewn shut in the screencaps and action figure pics I referenced. This doggy's from the fourth Hellraiser film.

Thank you though. I really need to draw a full body pic of this Hellpupper.
