TV Tropes' definition for Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon:
Much of the time, in keeping with Black and White Morality and Beauty = Goodness, we expect to be able to tell good and bad characters apart just by looking at them. We assume someone's good if their face looks innocent, compassionate, virtuous, or honest, while we assume the worst of someone who looks mean, untrustworthy, immoral, or threatening. Therefore, it makes for an unsettling contrast or even a shocking revelation when a character looks benevolent on the outside, but turns out to have a malicious personality. On the one hand, because they look just like you'd expect a good character to look, they could try to inflict more harm by deceiving others about their real intentions. On the other hand, they could be completely upfront about being evil and allow their enemies be spooked by the discrepancy between their appearance and their actions.

We're only one week away from Halloween, so why not try to make a Halloween themed image? Back in July, I made a pic called Several Kinds of Creepy , where I showcased three characters from different shows who appeared to be the same in terms of personality (that personality being that they're the creeps who like to wear black and partake in bizarre rituals). I thought, "Why not try to ham up the scariness factor for a Halloween image?" I knew from the very start what I wanted to do: I wanted to include characters who were well-known for being very cute on the outside, but are evil on the inside. The three characters I went with are Lola from The Loud House, Cozy Glow from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Darla Dimple from the 1997 animated film Cats Don't Dance (which I just saw for the first time a few months ago). To me, what makes these characters very enjoyable is how their personalities contrast their appearance, where they look cute, but are very malicious when it comes to planning things all for the sake of a goal, and believe me, the bad things these girls do go to really high extremes.

The process of which I went through to create this image is pretty fascinating. I drew all six figures on the same canvas and once I did so, I had to separate them. This was because when I started to incorporate all the details on Photoshop, I wanted to make them stand out from each other by using different shading techniques and a whole lot of layers. If I'm gonna be honest, I though Cozy Glow was a harder character to draw than Darla Dimple. The reason is because while Darla looks like she comes from a Disney movie (and I'm not all that talented when drawing in the Disney style), Cozy Glow has much more details on her, especially her mane and tail, which had so many details to keep track of.

Overall, hope you like this image and here's to a great Halloween in a week!
