THE HAND OF THE WATCHER

Haunted by dreams of something he saw as a child in Saudi Arabia, Thomas El-Assad dedicates his life to studying the humanities; uncovering the mysteries of science, psychology, philosophy and history but feels an unnerving sense of something indefinably menacing lurking beneath the surface of his waking world. 

After involvement with an eccentric fraternity at Bourkeley University in Hexton, Australia, where he studies, Thomas becomes fascinated with ESP, and dark forms of meditation. Finally he comes under the tutelage of Master Yega, an occultist who teaches him the terrible secrets of THE HAND OF THE WATCHER

Thanks. I need to find a good quick way of doing that, I probably just over think it.

Very cool, great work on the blood.

I always like looking at the fine detail work an artist does, the kind of things that most viewers overlook.

You always have great details. Love that.

My one suggestion is add shading under the thumb on the pedestal side., you have some under the index finger but not the thumb.

Awesome work!

Yeah, I think you're right so I fixed it. 
I was dealing with two light sources, ambient light from the night sky (there's probably a moon up there somewhere, 
but even the stars I suppose) and some glow from the mist.  Maybe I over-rationalized things and figured there wouldn't be a shadow cast
due to the angle at which the thumb protrudes. But sometimes fake shadows look better than accurate ones :] 

You seem to enjoy details as much as I do, so here's a link to the former version for comparison sta.sh/01hcm8mnzpus
I made a few slight adjustments, one was the highlight on the blood dripping from the left side.
