"Cursed" Horror-Themed Hand Lettering

Was feeling a bit creative over the weekend and tried my hand at adapting some hand lettering into a digital composition. In the spirit of Halloween I really went for a horror vibe here; but it all started with a sketch (see attachment)!

My goal here was to make every letter look dangerous. To amplify the effect I tried to increase the realism of the piece by adding texture and lighting effects. Sort of has a bit of a Harry Potter vibe, yes?

I'm not entirely done with this piece yet but wanted to share my progress so far. I definitely want to take it a step further and see what other types of mediums and applications I can use it for.
