Hi, Brad, thank you for the groovy Christmas card. :)
It looked amazing up-close and personal.

This new painting is going to be outstanding. Your caricature of Lugosi is spot on.
I love watching each section of your art spring to life. The lighting effects, colors and
textures really sing. There are always surprises to be found in each portion that you complete.

I'd like to make a couple of minor suggestions, if I could be so bold (just tell me to go to blazes if you wish).
The angle of the bottom of the zombie's forward pant leg is working against the angle of the leg itself. If you were
to add a few wrinkles that follow the downward angle more, it would heighten the effect of him stepping onto the stairs.
Also, a little more of the forward arm showing under the head will help to set it apart from the hair.
Here is a quick photoshop example:

Again, feel free to send me packing if I have crossed the line.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this one goes next. :)
