Posture-1, Posture-2 and Twisted-1 by:

"Tormented daily by the other children at the orphanage, the blind and mute Annie sought comfort in the cool rugged surface of the Strange Puzzle Box she found lying half-buried at the playground, but instead was shown what she could truly become via the hand of the Guardian. As a reward for her willingness to join the Cenobites, she was given the gift of sight."

I'm still giddy about getting featured at Pyramid-Gallery, so to celebrate, I thought I would post some Hellraiser art featuring another one of my other cenobites. This time we have Silence, the second known victim of the Odyne Configuration (well, actually... Luciva) and the younger 'sister' to Lady Chatterley.

'Silence' is named such not only because she was born mute, but also because she's extremely quiet. It's almost as if she glides around the labyrinth, causing pain and suffering with the greatest of ease, and there are so many deserving people around. Her favourite 'tools of the trade' are the many many knives that adorn her 'Winky-Dink' style belt.

Her mutilations came out REALLY subtle. Not only have her eyes been replaced with those weird lens/goggle things, but the sides of her face have been slice open and then crudely sewn shut (barely noticeable here) and she has a tiny fish hook digging in-between her boobs. Also, while not a mutilation, she hands are permanently stained with blood.

Oh, and before anyone who read the profile for the Odyne Configuration asks "If she was dragged to Hell in 2005, then why does she look like an adult?". My explanation? Time passes differently in the Labyrinth. Besides, cenobites are all about the re-Configuration of the flesh...annnnnnd that's my explanation.

I'm going to try and drawn up a full body pic of "Little Brother" as the next in this series.

The Odyne Configuration - "The Little Box of Pain."

What a cool design! She's totally terrifying, I'd piss myself if she ever knocked on my door or something. Well done!

And thanks for the watch

You're very welcome for the watch.

Silence here probably wouldn't know on your door though. She's a quiet, stealthy little thing.

This character is kind of creepy...so I think it was a good decision to keep the background simple. Her presence consumes enough of the page...any more and it would be a distraction.

HotaruThodt In reply to l--unbound--l [2009-11-29 05:05:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I figure since cenobite have presence while reaming sort of simple, it would be best to keep the background simple. That and this type of background makes me think of Gerald Brom's pin-up art. Thank you so much.

sedilia [2009-11-26 23:31:44 +0000 UTC]

Great and creepy design, also story behind her
I love how you've muted her, but gave her these expressive 'eyes' (or more googles), intenses the creepy feeling

HotaruThodt In reply to sedilia [2009-11-26 23:34:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I thought a cenobite with her eyes replaced by some weird goggle lens things would be interesting...plus I love the 'Bound' cenobite from the Hellraiser films and wanted to do something similar to that.

greatly done

HotaruThodt In reply to sedilia [2009-11-27 17:20:07 +0000 UTC]

Well, there were no cenobites with lens eyes (unless you vount the terrible Camerahead from Hellraiser III).

She is creepy for sure but I think she's lack on gore XD. I thought it was Luci in the thumnail.

HotaruThodt In reply to pinkaphrodite [2009-11-18 10:33:17 +0000 UTC]

Well, the subtly works in her favour since she's the 'Silent Cenobite'. And she just takes after her mommy.

Oh yes offcourse i see the similarity now, its been a while since i last watched the movie. Yea if that aint spooky then i dont know what.

HotaruThodt In reply to SDGRAPHICS [2009-11-15 20:18:14 +0000 UTC]

lol. And those goggle eyes cetainly add to the creep, or at least I've been told.

SDGRAPHICS In reply to HotaruThodt [2009-11-16 14:31:27 +0000 UTC]

Yea thats pretty true, i guess its cause we cant see the real eyes so its somewhat more freaky

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

HotaruThodt In reply to SDGRAPHICS [2009-11-16 14:54:12 +0000 UTC]

Well the real eyes were blind and useless so they were replace, so the goggle you see ARE the eyes.

HotaruThodt In reply to SDGRAPHICS [2009-11-18 11:54:32 +0000 UTC]

Well now that makes sense. I'm not sure what it is, but I really love Hellraiser (along with Phantasm). I guess maybe because its unconventional horror.

SDGRAPHICS In reply to HotaruThodt [2009-11-18 11:58:49 +0000 UTC]

Yea i guess so but is that what its called i mean as a genre caus ei wouldnt know. I used to love drawing such twisted character but never got into the movies i was more the usseless splatter with comedy type like freddy vs jason. then again im not that big of a horror fan anyways i love drawing classic spooky, or twisted dark creatures bvut movie wise hmmm only a few i really like.

HotaruThodt In reply to SDGRAPHICS [2009-11-18 12:08:32 +0000 UTC]

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the classic stuff myself. I mean Vincent Price is probably my all-time favourite actor. Drawing twisted things is fun.

Most people I've seen have some trouble with backgrounds...but the shiny black against the parchment-like brown looks really nice. Win. xD

Haha. Well, I was no exception when it came to making that background. Finally I just settled for something that looked like it would have been painted by Gerald Brom. Thank you.
