The Shadow Eater

Description

"I can't help but feel there's something watching me..."

All of my creatures, including this one, are all connected somehow (notice the three dots above their eye). I have somewhat of a story for them, but it's not clear in my mind yet.

All of these creatures were once souls that have been cursed with unfortunate events in their life time. Once their bodies die, someone takes their souls and uses these terrible misadventures to transform them into creatures who hunt for pure souls to consume, in the hopes of regaining their original form and happiness. They change into a hideous form depending on what they've experienced or how they died. Example:

If a soul has experienced a sense of loneliness or were lost at the time of their death, they become the shadow eater (as seen above), who consume the shadows of lost children. The shadow is a reflection of the soul, and once that reflection is taken away, the soul is not complete. Therefore, the shadow eater brings misfortune to the children, making them feel scared when lost.

I have yet to create an image for the puppet master of these creatures, nor have I created a back story for them. I will tell more of my little fairytale in my next drawing.

Interesting concept of a spirit.
