Well alrighty then. The image is actually based directly on a hallucination I had several years ago, due to lack of sleep. I remember it like it was yesterday. So you're not comfortable with sharing what you saw that's so badass?
no I am perfectly comfortable sharing lol I too had hallucinations before due to to sleep disturbances, stress, highly erratic sleep schedules, crazy schedules, lack of sleep etc, trust me, I've seen it too, hallucinated about far scarier shit
room sized giant spiders, shimmering doors in my room, hell, fire, etc... and just frightening images,animals, shadow people, I think they call this the hag syndrome
Anyhow, but it doesn't end there, combine that with sleep paralysis at the same fucking time, you see shit but can't move for half a minute.
Then sometimes I'd feel like creature like or hard to explain stuff choking me or putting their fangs in my back etc.... Sleep paralysis combined with hag syndrome is a quite a motherfucker !
combine that with the fact I am a very lucid dreamer, I remember my dreams as real as real life.
Now I get far less of these (paralysis) and sleep induced hallucinations, but still get excruciatingly vivid dreams,
So take your creature there, imagine something that is 100x bigger, 100x scarier, something that moves towards you while you are paralyzed and can't move or talk......
Now imagine you are in sleep paralysis and have 100s of your creatures coming towards you
Now on my daily life I come across some people who are "creeps" that was figure of speech sometimes I think I deal with crazy people who are not human.....hence the asylum reference lol. So when people ask me where I work I have the habit of telling them a mental asylum lol!
You know that big ass spider creature in Half Life 2, imagine something 200x bigger and fatter.. Sometimes I get those weird dreams so intense I wake up feeling as though I am drained from a 12 hour workout ! lol.
But the good news is that your creature is
scarier than the ones in Doom
and far better looking ! lol.
