Little drawing I made for Mario and Luigi. The neverending dream that I forgot to put on here. Woops! 

So. There’s been this bot going around that basically, allows one to put in a picture and it’ll get turned into some kind of anime character.

I decided to put my man Paralysis into it and the results were...Interesting to say the least, I mean it’s pretty accurate all things considered but. I’m still not sure how I should feel about this.

Taken from twitter. If you were curious here are some of the inspirations I used when creating Paralysis (Aka my Antasma based exe) 

The first bit of inspiration comes from an exe made by twitter user JeyoJaJa (Not sure if they have a tumblr or not) named Freakazoid. While I haven’t kept up with their lore. I love the design and the style used for it. So when making the image of paralysis. I wanted him to have the same sort of creepy vibe. If I succeeded at that. It’s up to you to decide. But I think I did an alright design with the first version.

The second bit of inspiration comes from a DC villain known as Doctor destiny. Basically he gained possession of an artifact known as the Dreamstone. allowing him to manipulate dreams and, as revealed in the sandman graphic novel. During an encounter with the justice league he was left unable to dream and became all outstretched. While I haven’t read the sandman series. I loved the irony of a dream manipulator not being able to sleep himself. So I basically lifted that and doctor destiny's motivation of wanting to dream again for Paralysis. The third bit of inspiration comes from well...Sleep Paralysis. I mean come on, the guy is named paralysis after all (that and I wanted to name him after a sleeping condition) and sleep paralysis just happened to fit the best. IT also vaguely inspired the state his victims are left in during an encounter and frankly. Paralysis basically being a sleep paralysis demon just fits in my humble opinion. This may seem odd but Paralysis is also based on our ability to scare the shit out of ourselves for lack of better words. As an example, have you ever mistaken a bundle of clothes for a person lying on your floor? Or though something was gonna jump out and scare you fnaf style. That’s the kind of horror I wanted to invoke with Paralysis. How his method of fearmongering relies on the victims minds wandering and conjuring up their own demons. I though it’d be a unique for an exe to do that. Mix that with me adoring Antasma growing up and thus, Paralysis was born.

For some other factoids. While I haven’t written down a fully fleshed out origin for Paralysis. I was thinking of basing paralysis on some kind of sleep based god/entity. Such as the slavic godess Moranna or some other deity. I’ve also considered making Paralysis a human at one point that got warped. But those are just ideas with nothing concrete as of now. But regardless, I hope you enjoyed this ramble. Make sure to check in for more art, lore and other things. Have a wonderful day or night.
