I went with the 'artificial intelligence created for the purposes of studying the nature of evil' idea after all. Not all that original in terms of concept, but I think the lighting works pretty well at least.

im scarrrrrrred

ps thansk amit back there ;)

Great job Lodratio! I really like where you took the theme - completely out of the box, *high fives!*

So what I took from the passage:
Jamie is in fact a baby boy who has been neglected by his Mother- who isn't exactly the best parental figure (wine, wine, wine and shine, depressed alcoholic, "feverish desire to die") - 

Jamie was comforted by a spirit who looked after him while his mother did her own thing. Then, one day, after a drinking episode, the Mother decided she'd strap on a baby carrier and become the parental figure she should have been... but alas, it was too late. Baby Jamie's "guardian angel" - if you will - took charge of the youngster and spoke to the woman in a grizzly, demonic voice -- head rolling in the carrier as he crippled the woman's psyche. 

Soon, the spirit became an incantation...
... it loomed over the Mother's frame - forcing her to live in a cycle of unrelenting anxiety and fear.

Fun theme, I tried to stick with the passage a bit more, purely because I want to get better with problem solving real briefs like this from clients.

No refs used. About 12ish hours. :/ 
My thoughts:
I know, I skimmed over the hands because I'm a... a... a... pussy still. Though I prolly shoulda used refs - screw it, I'll just study hands more and go from there in the future.
I really can't paint jeans from head. Need to study this. Need to study a lot of things, but this first.

**I'm tired of my paintings looking metallic. This will hopefully be fixed after the Schoolism course I'm taking**

Also yeah, Jamie's head is meant to be Exorcist like.

Very much open to crits. I wanna git gud.

Congrats to all the Daggers that participated! Lord Shia commends thee! o/
