Wow, look at all these comments! Good, at least that makes me feel better about posting this: I was thinking it was too self-aggrandizing to do so, but guess folks still hadn’t see in. Thanks for all the comments, everyone!
BlackBastet & Kalebu - thanks!
Posh - Thank you! No less deserving that your great piece, which as you know is one of my faves.
minminxu - Thanks, glad you like the colros. i got some good input from the folks int eh challenge.
basho - thanks!
ducklator - well, not that much, but art is a good place to channel aggression, right? 
tevih, mindrot, jugeras, & abourabe - thank you.
tencendur - glad you liked it. It’s too bad, even at this size you can’t see all the fun details on the left side, like the Dilbert cartoon and the NecronomiCom phone list with “research and devilment,” “Yog-Sothothware Support,” “Infernal Resources…” Okay, maybe it Is a good thing, it might not be all that funny after all. 
arizaga - yes, it was definately influenced by Cthulhu and the other Lovecraft mythos.
ravioli - Ha, that’s nothing compared to the time I spent working on Diablo II, you should play it for a few more years! But seriously, thanks so much for the kind words, i’m really flattered.
teknotek - thanks, I used Photoshop’s path tool to get the pinstripes just so. I may have detailed a bit more in the Challenge thread if you can get through all the pages.
gardan - hey, it’s just a picture, don’t get me in trouble here! I lok nothing like that, either of them!
dimitris, zakkos, & gonzalo - thank you so much, glad you like all the details.
Thanks again everyone!
