Inktober Day Twenty Eight - CenobiteToday the magic Tupperware said I had to draw a Cenobite. I’ve only ever seen the first Hellraiser film. At the time I wasn’t particularly impressed. I was probably too young for it only paying attention to the chains, hooks and people being flayed alive. From what I hear about it these days I’m sure I’d appreciate it a lot more, though considering the subject matter I’m not sure I’d want to risk it.

Having said that despite not being the biggest fan of Clive Barker i’ve always enjoyed his prose style and his world building and the general concept of Hellraiser is quite interesting. (once you get past the messy bits) For the most part what I know about the setting comes from the comic books and overheard conversations from friends who are diehard Barker fans. Having said that and tried my best at designing a brand new cenobite in the time allowed (everybody does Pinhead.)
