[HIOP] what a horrible night to have a curse

Description

Summore development of the protagonist of Hell is Other People, who has historically been drawn more in his cursed/corrupted/demonic whatever you want to call it form more than his human one...because I designed that one first and only recently have gotten him as a human down. lol. Trang will appear as both, and can switch between the two in a kind of gross way, but post-ritual this is the form that's, eh, functional? His human appearance is basically just a really gross glamor that he activates by literally wearing his human skin like a suit, and if he wants to eat or use the bathroom or do something particularly strenuous he's gotta revert to this. When wearing the "man suit" he can't feel much of anything except in his hands and feet, which are still intact, normal human appendages. He looks like this in the first place because part of the ritual that he got wrapped up in involved getting skinned alive, and it got interrupted before they did the hands and feet. Bummer!

There will of course be the struggle of "how do you retain your humanity when you look like you're made out of pork chops" but really I'd prefer for it to be more about him embracing the power that comes with his curse, and releasing and finding strength in his, well...demons.

Trang was flayed alive, and that's why he looks like that!? Holy shit...the stuff people come up with. (Unless the ones who did that to him were not people...but still).

He looks great; he's changed a bit since I last saw a picture of him on Tumblr, but he looks way more stylized and frightening here. Well done; I feel like your drawing style has really evolved over the past year.Clap
