i think this is such an underrated concept

by having a character be both scary AND pretty u can create an unsettling effect

plz show me ur characters that are both scary AND pretty


thanatos is an undead god who is both terrifying and beautiful


btw my fave variation i think is a character who is mostly terrifying but there is also something eerily beautiful/majestic about them

Revenant sableward

if i had more of revenant's grimdark form on here she'd totally qualify but for now you're gonna have to take my word for it & don't stare at the teeth for too long


other than the grimdark form, most of her scary stuff is fridge logic (the wonders of time travel, torture, and alecian physiology, yay!)

Nala aaawhyme

I want Nala to be really creepy, eerie looking, but also graceful and beautiful in a strange, demonic way

zoryanny

A fallen God of Peace who absorbed another god's demonic energy. He's still got the beauty of his prior form, but he's vicious and just walking on land with rot all flora in his path.

Mo and Luigi Skykristal

I want them to be creepy and pretty.  I've noticed some people think they look more cute which is really not what I wanted to achieve. Don't know what's cute about a living clothing who gets control over your brain xD and Luigi isn't cute either,  his soul is kinda dark...  and wants to be alone all day. 

0ujii

Beau is pretty handsome but he's a monster who eats people. so yeah pretty but deadly~XD

Calina $15 Polaroid_probably

shes cute but she'll wear your organs as a necklace

Claude Lovelace Caine

I feel sort of silly posting Claude here because he's just a human who doesn't really have a secret aggressive and violent side or anything, but I feel like he's still probably one of the more creepier characters of his respective story and setting.

I love to draw him all prettied up because it's fun, but in-canon several characters note they find Claude's eyes super unsettling and creepy (his eyes are always half-open, very light and his irises are notably smaller than average, giving him a pretty intense stare), to the point many compare his eyes to animal eyes, especially those of a predator. It doesn't help that he's fickle and hard to read so people can never really trust him and have to keep their guards up, because Claude is notorious for getting back at the people he feels have insulted him or otherwise stepped on his toes - he has the intelligence and social influence to really ruin people and their reputation, and in the time and setting he's from reputation is everything to people.

It's so difficult to explain what makes him unsettling because it's more so in the game than in his bio or anything so you just... have to take my word for it... He just carries himself in the way people cant really tell what he'll do next and there is this "otherness" to him people liken to animals rather to humans even if he isn't, like, feral or anything. He just makes people feel like they're in the presence of a creature they don't quite understand and whose actions can't be predicted. 

Jökull RazLapin

Jökull is a super creepy character just from the fact that he... well, eats humans. Sure he needs to because he's a vampire but he pretends it's all a funny joke or a game. That being said, he's also gorgeous... when he can keep his mouth shut. How else does he keep getting meals...?

Nana Takayama majimasimp

this is nana! she has a cutesy appearance (aside from the disturbingly wide eyes and 'lewd' expression she usually has) but has a very scary personality. she's very crass and has murderous/self-destructive tendencies which cause most to avoid her!

Undead Cultist birthday

reubens covered in light and deep scars all over his body, has a carving in his palm and many on his organs/under his skin from the cult he was in and says some pretty unsettling things a lot of the time, but he intentionally makes himself look pretty with makeup and nice clothes :'D
