My friends have called this the Lovecraftian Horror. Strangers have asked "What is that!?" in trepidation. Whatever your reaction to it, it won't be pleasant.

Some demons don't have to be clowns or monsters conjured from hell. They can exist in your subconscious, haunting you with traumatic memories and feelings of self-depreciating worthlessness. This is just one interpretation of such a monster.

Revealed from the depths of my consciousness during an self-initiated art therapy session and now released to the world, let this terrifying creature haunt your next survival horror game and torment the minds of those who dare to look at it square on.

There are two versions of the pack: the no blood/gore censored version and the uncensored, PG-13 nightmare. Pictured above is the no blood edition for those who maybe sensitive such things. The preview of the uncensored version can be found behind the age-restricted wall of its Deviant Art Page.

Both packs contain the main demon in two sizes, and variations on it in the default small form, for use in any way your dark heart desires. It even comes with the gibs (wings, tail, etc) as separate pngs, and thorns that you can color in yourself. The uncensored version also contains a red, unfrozen heart for you to use in other horror aspects of your game. It also contains a description of the symbolism behind the monster based on PTSD, the mental illness that this vile thing was inspired by.

Note that this is not to make fun of those who suffer with mental illness, but to illustrate the agonizing torment that people endure within themselves. If more awareness is made and more care given to those who suffer with them, perhaps these demons will one day fade into obscurity.

This took me a full forty-eight hours over a span of 3-4 days to do. As terrifying as it is to me, I have to say this one of my masterpieces.

Thanks. If I had waited a couple of days more I could have entered it in the spooky contest. Too late now unfortunately.

On the positive note, the reason why I posted it so soon was because I was more interested in seeing what games people would make centering around this horror by halloween. I know games can be crammed together in 24-48 hours now-a-days but I wanted people to have more time to make something truly special, you know?
