This is fantastic, I love the drips and the embers and the smoke and evertyhting really
it looks so sick man ! i’m curious to know how did you made the drips ?
Looking a lot more evil now!
Would it be worth cutting out his eyes with another circle for angry eyes?

For the angry face - yes. But I just like its scared eyes-wide-open look now =) But for True Evil purpose I agree that eyes could be like that cut shape.

good idea with the angry face, but personally i like how it is right now … it adds another level of story telling that this poor little guy is possessed, totally surprised by it and now looks for help.

poor smiliey!!! He is burning!! 
Awsoem work!
That’s pretty fantastic work. Bravo!
Hi Alex. I love this sketch, looks amazing. 
EDIT: I was wondering why you used so many texture samplers, didn’t saw sketch topic. Anyway, as far I see this effect could be done without any texture samplers. Good shader to practice perf optimization. 
Yes, you are absolutely right. =)
But I decided to stick to the sketch topic and see what could be done with textures specifically.
