Ted's Comments:
This guy comes from a story I was writing a long time ago. The story itself is on break, but the subject here is a fear demon who delights in the pain of those around him. It normally hides in bodies of unborn children, and then used the body as a cocoon until it is ready to emerge. Once the shell is discarded, the demon must find a another host in order to affect the physical world on the level it wished to achieve. The strain it has on the host body is oppressive. Once it enters an unborn child, the infant will inevitably emerge physically deformed: and often stillborn. If stillborn, the demon seeks another host. If alive, it will remain in the body and cause as much human suffering as possible. The soul of the child is crammed into the subconscious where it influences the sadistic instincts of the demon. The soul returns to the after life when the body is discarded by the creature. The version of the demon seen here is the intermediate stage. The host body is decomposing to the point that the demon is almost ready to emerge. All the rotten flesh is hidden by the rags and discarded clothing that it has accumulated. Despite the disguise, I wanted a sense of malevolence to emerge from the figure. The background consists of vague semi-creepy images that I wanted to use to enhance the feeling of the demon. This guy would make his appearances late some nights to terrorize people, but when he's ready, he sends whole towns into chaos. Comments are welcome.
David's Comments:
Honestly, when I first saw this guy I thought he was an assassin from Assassin's Creed. Don't know why I would've thought that considering Ted hasn't played Assassin's Creed. But still. The back story here is a little creepy for my tastes, and disturbing. I believe the story Ted is referring to is Lunx Lamine but I'm not 100% on that. Still really well done picture, and very creepy.
