It's recommended that you don't play any of these games at all. But if you absolutely must, only play one. And only once. Looks like this tatzelworm might not have followed those instructions...

1 - What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?
I thought most of it was really easy to understand! ^^ I was just a little confused about whether I should use fantasy elements more or horror elements (since both were specified,) but I tried to find the right balance--but other than that, I had an absolute blast working on this design!

2 - Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?
Oooh, man was this design fun to work on. I listen to a lot of horror/urban legend/creepy game-related stuff, and I was super excited to use all of that info in the design! I tried to stick to the more neutral colours, only using the brighter colours for accents (like the writer specified.) I did make sure to vary up the colours some, though, so it didn't fall into only using one colour the whole way through. They were really lenient with the species, so I went with a cryptid (I'd gotten stuck on whether I should use a tatzelworm, a gnome of Girona, or a beast of Gevauden, before settling on the tatzelworm. x3) I also decided to go with an anthro, just since I felt like that had the most design opportunities for me in this case.
I did try to make the horns a little "flowy," but admittedly I'm not sure if I got that right, sorry! ;0; And I left the wings out just because I wasn't really sure of how to incorporate them into the overall design (and I didn't want it to become even more complex than it already is. :'D

As for special abilities or quirks, I did come up with a few things, mostly pertaining to the different elements of their design. ^^ You're 100% free to use them, change them, etc. etc!
~ For starters, their arm has elevator buttons. Most of the time, the ones shown glowing are the ones glowing (to mimic the steps of the "Elevator Game.")
~They can't speak English or any other human language. However, they can answer "yes or no" questions using the buttons on their paw (as a reference to "Channel Infinity.")
~As another reference to "Channel Infinity," their one eye is a green full moon (which, according to the game, means incredibly bad things.)
~Their other eye is missing (as a reference to the "Daruma San" story.)
~They can sometimes throw up small animals, usually frogs/toads or rabbits.
~Their candles can go on or off, but they must always keep at least one on. Otherwise, bad things happen (a reference to the "Midnight Man.")
~They have a key and an object of protection, but those two things may not always work as well as they're supposed to...
~They wear mirrors around their head, like horse blinders almost. They may use this to watch what's behind them, or maybe they use it to communicate with the spirits of the "Three Kings" game.
~Their stuffed kitty is filled with stuffing like most stuffed animals are, but instead of being weighted with beans, it's weighted with salt.
~And their dress is a reference to the white ladies that are often seen in horror stories (as is their hair, to some extent.)

And if there are any small things you'd like me to change or fix, feel free to let me know, of course! Or if you’d like a transparent version (or separates of any of these,) just let me know.^^

This character now belongs to spottedshine ! Only they may use this art/design.

I'd love it if you tagged me at least the first time you draw them, but you don't have to. I just love seeing what people do with the designs I make for them! <3
