I'm gonna make a small series asking how different characters in horror would turn out in TADC, and Norman Bates is my next pick! Norman is a hotel receptionist for a disheveled hotel under his name. In his hotel, he lets guests in and never lets them out. He sometimes makes sure to clean up the mess and himself afterwards, keeping up a charmingly, clean image. His cruelty is a product of the abuse he endured as a child. The beatings and emotional incest brought upon by his mom before she died fractured his psyche into three pieces. One that takes care of the motel and his image, one that conducts the vicious murders under his mother's identity, and one who expresses devotion to his mom. These three personas live inside his mind, taking turns in controlling his body.

So how long would this man last in the digital circus? How would he act or change? Would he even change at all?

My last post about Patrick Bateman gained a lot of interesting answers about how people would think his avatar would look, so I wanted to bring another pop-culture horror icon onto the table. The one and only Micheal Myers! He's the shadow, the Shape, a man that plows through body counts in the quiet town of Haddonfield with zero remorse. He used to be a patient at a mental asylum but eventually, he escaped through brute strength and sinister calculation. He has no tragic backstory. No true motive. He just kills with no real aim or end goal. He is one of the many popular embodiments of evil in fiction.

So how long would this man last in the digital circus? How would he act or change? Would he even change at all?

Patrick is one hell of an interesting character in "American Psycho" so I would love to see what people would think his avatar in TADC would look like.

I don't think it's all too great so I will probably make a remaster of this drawing in the future.

The first drawing is the new design that I just mentioned. The second one is the original that was made years ago. Comparing these side by side, I think I definitely like the remaster over the other, but what do y'all think?

I had this piece finished for a while, but never bothered to post it anywhere. For his design, I took some inspiration from other artworks of Jack to create this and I think it turned out great! I was never a huge fan of Creepypastas or Eyeless Jack so I don't have much to say. I also have a drawing that depicts Jeff the Killer so I'll be posting it later on too.

Although I did feel slight sorrow for Jax after learning about his grief and trauma, I still felt ANGRY when he acted like a total miscreant towards the only people who truly cared for him! It was genuinely so infuriating to see him mistreat Ribbit like that despite how receptive and honest she was acting towards him. He pushed her and Kaufmo away and mocked them until they couldn't take it anymore. And even after their deaths, he didn't change his ways. Instead, he started to abuse other people just to hide his insecurities. And he knew what he was doing was most definitely going to cause other members of the circus to abstract. He fumbled so many times to the point where it wasn't even funny anymore. Not that it ever was but still. He is a lying, victim-blaming, emotionally abusive asshole whose own mistakes led to the deaths of TWO people and the sorrow of many others. He had let his past and self-hatred define who he is as a person, and he is never going to have a chance to fix any of that ever again because he fucking abstracted before he could do anything about it! Jax has made his bed while lighting the sheets and pillows on fire, sawing the legs off, and by breaking the headboard with a hammer, and now he has to lie on it...

This is a drawing I made of Caine's monstrous form during his crashout in episode 8. Took some inspiration from Junji ito for Caine's ALL-SEEING EYES and the anatomy of a spider for his legs. I think it looks nice, albeit there being some inconsistent shading and kinda weird perspective, but what do y'all Caine-lovers think?
