You can only enter once, but you can have as many ideas as you want then thru some sort of eliminating process you end up with the best one then submit it as a final.

Okay
So heres my second idea sketched out.
I think this dream I had was inspired by the queen of the damned movie I watched.Nevertheless,its a statue in
a gallery type surrounding with chains and devil motifs.
Blood is pouring from the roof and "feeding"the headless statue.As before I'll try not use any textures and just use lights to create an uncomfortable scene.

I'm a little concerned that your statue model might be a downloaded object as opposed to something you made.

Aaaarrrggg!!

Okay,so I lost the plot and went straight down the wrong path.I have one more concept that should meet the brief.
I am petrified of clowns,so A clown offering you candy as he smiles evily at you,while his spider accomplices scurry around.Thats it.I'll stick to that idea.I'll send a sketch as soon as I can.Heres my previous concept that threw me off.

Clown

My final concept for this contest.
A clown lures you into an abandoned building with a
some candy in order to feed his hungry spiders.In the back you can see bodies wound in web.
