I'm sorry for posting again, I promise this will be my last post on unimportant things but i wanted to make sure im not doing anything fundamentally wrong.
This is my first room.. The hanging man will be an animated sprite but i added it here for context

The room itself looks functionally sound, I like the light casting on the wall. Something about the chair doesn't strike me as quite right, though, I think the legs need to point inwards towards each other a little more.
Not bad for someone who claims to "not have an artist's visualisation skill" :P
The only thing I can say is that theres something not quite right about the boards at the base of the walls.
When I first looked at them I thought they were shadows or a darker floor, with the lighter part being a carpet, and didn't see it until I looked at the base of the door.
However; I like the brickwork, the steel door and the chair. I think they work well together.
Also, I think the blood needs to be more 'splattery', because if he was in the chair when it was spilt, then I think it would've gone further.
Overall: I like it
