Gothic Spookiness

Here's a picture I did close to ten years ago. I had  discovered the role playing game Ravenloft several years before , when I was 14,  and had become totally obsessed with it . I still think it's a pretty cool, evocative game. I loved the art in the rule book too by Stephan Fabian . It was during when I first discovered Ravenloft that I started reading "gothic"stories( or at least books I thought were gothic). Lovecraft, Walpole, Stoker, Shelley. etc. This period of reading still effects everything I draw to some degree. I think this picture holds up pretty well.
