FAT NAKED PEOPLE JUMPSCARE

Okay now that I have your attention, here’s my design of the bathers from the sounds of nightmares

I based them off of fish.

Basically, lire the idea behind these guys is the inability to scrub away your sins.

No matter how hard they try, they can never truly be clean. So l decided to base them off of catfish- literal bottom dwellers.

Not to mention they come out of ships/ submarine type mechanisms that resemble sea life

The episode name itself "penance at the bathhouse" to me implies that them cleaning themselves raw is an act of repentance for the horrible acts they've committed.

My hcs: I wrote these over a period od time so some are written in a completely different style because they were disconnected, and I actually tried instead of ticking my keyboard to verbally shit all over the screen. this is all over the place and has crazy tonal whip lash.

I can write way better than this btw I swear guys, I just don’t usually post it to tumblr because I’m embarrassed

I’ll post the uncensored version below the cut so you can get like two centimeters of the least sexualized dick and balls you’ve ever seen as a reward for reading my slop.

- These guys are actually the same as guests, and won’t necessarily start out looking like fish. The difference is guilt. Rather than indulging in their vices until they are led to their own deaths, they seek penance, only to be stuck in a cycle of excessive gratification and “purging” by bathing. They are unwilling and unable to escape their own vices, yet cannot live with the ensuing shame.

- As this cycle continues, they start to resemble what they really are- bottom feeders. Scales become painfully ingrown, their skin unbearably dry, and gasping slits open at the sides of their necks- gills.

- They travel in great droves, hiding behind dull cloths and strange masks- a few, no longer anything resembling man, are buried so deep in layers of their own garments that they appear as greasy, sexless husks.

- The steam in the bathhouses keeps them semi hidden from each other, obscuring all that is shameful and unseen

- Like fish, they can sense who’s around them through a sort of pseudo sensory lateral line system. It helps them stick close when they struggle to see through their masks, the steam, or the dark.

- Their transformation into something that resembles fish also leaves them with increased sensory abilities, especially in taste, smell, and touch. A boon for some, but in the presence of cleansing oils, sharp soaps and steel wool scrubs, it’s torture, but penance of any kind is rarely painless.

-some can inflate their neck pouches like frogs

Okay here’s your 2cm of unsexy dick and balls thanks for reading.

He was my favorite monster in the game honestly. Used a model reference for this but even so I’m happy with how he turned out in my style! Little Nightmares continues to inspire me on a daily.

Working on a proper design for Otto, I’ll probably just refine this one because his proportions are dod and I think he looks too young, plus I want to maybe change his clothes

He has a hybrid between a mullet and a bowlcut, very disturbing

stop asking me to draw him pregnant

Monophia My sweet little dove

Info on the drawing - I changed the TV's look to match the in-game model and changed the mono's appearance to match my interpretation of the TV boy (such as scars, bandages on his feet, a bite mark from six, and mono the rash). Added dead doves (Mourning doves Mixed with bleeding heart doves) and eggs from the easter egg room in Very Little Nightmares.

I like the idea that Mono is slumped over the TV as if he fell onto it, so I mimicked that Idea with the doves to make it seem that they died on impact.

Credit goes to @anime-grimmy-art of course!

Extra - Here is my entry for Grimmy's FTIYS challenge, I'm not truly interested in winning any of the prizes - I just wanted to use this challenge as an exercise

I have other entries that are unfinished that will likely be posted after the contest ends (But like I said before, I'm not too interested in the prizes lol)

This was super fun and I hope to do more in the future, also Grimmy is an amazing artist and I'm so glad to be a part of this contest/experience.
