Artist's Comment:
My fourth illustration for the Clive Barker novel 'Weaveworld'. This is of The Scourge, the enemy of the Seerkind. The Scourge believes it is the Angel Uriel (the gaurdian of the Garden of Eden). It believes it to be this Angel and that the Seerkind to be the original inhabitants of Eden who ventured off into the world against the wishes of God. It thinks this because it has been a gaurdian of a wasteland that the Seerkind abandoned for so long that it has forgotten itself and came across the bible story through the thoughts of men who ventured near its domain.
This is my best attempt to visualize this monster, a beast of a thousand eyes, gigantic and formless, who exists within a body of fury and fire. It's sole goal is to destroy the inhabitants of the Fugue, the Seerkind, it's God sent task (so it believes).

pretty cool depiction. i have read all of barkers work and even got to meet with him at a writers conference in LA and this i would say is the hardest of all his characters to truly visualize and he even said so himself.
the part that i always found hard was the parts that he was made up flaming wheels upon eyes and stuff like that.
but cool work MC!
