...did you ever have that feeling?

This painting is about, exactly what it looks like. When I was a kid, I used to be extremely afraid of the shadows on my wall. I always had a night light in my room, thinking that would help with the creepiness of night. Now that I'm older I realized, that might of made it worse with all the shadows it produced!

Here's the original sketch. 

When I drew this I was sick with a wicked cough. I think I had it for a month at that point and it was terrible! So at the time, I pretended the monster was the terrible cough that wouldn't leave me!
