Hi
A great challenge up here.This is my first.
My concept might seem a bit on the haunted side than the
fear aspect,but I thought what the hey,its lighting and atmosphere that counts.So heres my lame attempt at sketching.

Fear of rejection.
On a moonlite night Edward knew his new girlfriend
was going to leave him.So he dealt with his fear
the only way he knew how.Her desperate pleas for mercy
only fed his fear as he saw himself,helpless,rejected.
And with one swift slash...it would be over.

I updated my lame artwork with yet another one,
adding to the dramatic background.

Well,here it is.This I've named Edward.
Is it possible to enter more than once?
I have had another idea for a scene.Actually it was a dream.
Location is a gallery with a few motifs,hanging chains and a
headless statue with blood pouring onto it.If possible I'd like to try that one as well.
