Nightmare

Hey, hey, look what I did? Another character reference, that's what! Haha, you guys are probably tired of them by now, but... This girl is cool, I promise. Now, the name Nightmare really only applies to one of her forms (Maybe? You'll understand after reading what I've provided on her), but... I'm stuck for a name to fit her human form. Any suggestions are appreciated, please.

So, remember the aesthetic I mentioned earlier? If not, here it is:



Well... This girl is based off of it. I ADORE how she turned out. I don't have many babes with a monochrome color scheme like this, so it's a fun change (And a fun challenge for shading, gosh). I think her first outfit is probably my favorite out of the three (Though, I'm proud of the job I did on the hands in the second one, they turned out pretty spiffy). And hey, I drew a raven. Wow. I actually think it turned out REALLY nice, though. Certainly made me realize I apparently have a talent for drawing birds. Though... I'll admit, she turned out way darker than I was expecting. Which, I mean, I WAS expecting darkness, but still. I like it, though. (I was also listening to this song repeatedly throughout the coloring process, halp: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhZ-Ny…)

Anywho... As far as story elements for her go. By daylight, she's a normal, if not rather shy, withdrawn, and kinda spooky girl. She shows interest in dark and scary topics, and is obsessed with the occult, dark poetry and mystery novels, and classic horror movies. She spends more time in the dark, "haunted" woods outside her home than she does inside, usually talking to ravens, regardless of if they talk back or not. However, when night falls, and especially under the light of a full moon, she turns into something much, much different. She takes on a more monstrous form, complete with gray skin, black eyes oozing with inky liquid, pure white hair, and antlers resembling dead tree branches. She horrifies those who lay their eyes upon her, causing them to scream and run away, and even fight her at times to try to get rid of her. When in this form, she hides away in the woods, staying far away from any people. The only company she keeps are ravens, which love to follow her around and be with her, letting her stroke their feathers and treat them as if they're her pets (Which, they do this when she's in human form, too, but they stay around more when she's in her monster form). There is one raven that always stays with her and acts as a pet to her, who she named Nevermore. While in her monster form, one way she hides away is by changing her form from human and into a pure white deer with pure black eyes. This form scares people less, and they seem to dismiss it, or think it's a ghost. In the event that she has to defend herself, her ravens are always there at her beck and call, and have torn apart many people for her. If she isn't around them, she also has a dagger that she isn't afraid to use.
