The Demon of Pity

Share

...This is actually a joke character. LOL


Demento Liszt made a really stupid face at me the other day and told me thats the look he gives his dog often because "I feel sorry for him" (for being small). This prompted me to be like, "Wow imagine seeing some kinda creature standing at the end of your hallway looking at you like that."


Which prompted a scenario about "what if there was some kind of entity that had that face and it only appeared when you were just REALLY going through some shit-- like just feeling your absolute worst. And you would see it just looking at you from a distance everywhere you went."


Which prompted a, "OKAY new survival horror game, the protagonist who is just REALLY going through it starts to see this creature following them around and they have no idea what to do about it. Later in the game when learning more about this creature they come across a sacred temple, Kuon style, just full of statues of this monster making THAT face."


We named it "The Demon of Pity" lol.


It probably won't hurt you but its presence sure is uncomfortable LOL.


IIIII personally think this character is hilarious, and it was hilarious talking about the idea of the character. Idk if other people would look at this thing and find it hilarious though LOL

concept cool

Good work with the design and composition! Knowing the inspiration, I can't help but imagine this thing showing up at frustrating (but mundane) moments of a person's life. Afterwards, it would just make a snide comment and fade away before they could respond, making that face the entire time.

Thanks a lot!
LOL funny how a silly joke can suddenly spark some legitimate ideas or make others feel certain things XD

"Stop it! I'm not that small!"

This creature is mocking me!
