Acrylic on cotton canvas recreation of the work of Hiroshi Nagai.

One of the characters from our upcoming psychological horror game, Life & Shadow: Celestial Call.
We wanted the design to feel uncanny in a subtle way — tired eyes, unnatural proportions, and a face that feels “off” the longer you look at it.

Still experimenting with lighting, skin textures, and facial detail balance.
Curious what gives you stronger discomfort in horror games: realistic faces, distorted human features, or something completely inhuman?
