Description
So this idea came to me from when we were discussing monster/creature ideas.Now beforehand, I wasn't too keen on the idea for Zalgo as a character, especially the terrible fanart of him looking like an anime mother f#cker and that his origin was a little too "meme-ish" for my taste.
But after reading/listening to some of H.P Lovecraft's works and with other suggestions from friends and fans of creepypasta, I have a new appreciation for the concept of Zalgo.
Zalgo is pretty much like a fusion of Cthulu and Satan himself. While that does sound cheesy, the way it's portrayed through the warped comics, cartoons and creepy poetry is actually pretty decent.
Zalgo is essentially a bodiless form that is known as the God of Corruption, and is also known as "He Who Waits Behind The Wall".
He's almost like Slenderman in a way, but is more of a deity figure rather than a strange extraterristrial/extradimensional being.
He's more like a demonic virus that corrupts the goodness and innocence of mankind, kinda like the Red Mist. But unlike the Red Mist, it can change a person in a physical sense as well as a mental sense, transforming them into hideous Lovecraftian abominations, all working as a hivemind under Zalgo's control.
These are a few forms I drew up, thinking of how Zalgo can transform others into his hideous spawn.
I want to give credit to 3 of them, as two of the designs are from friends DA pages that I really liked, and one was inspired by an RP
-Gemini (the bottom second right monster, with fused heads) is based on a demon created in my RP with
-Underseer (bottom second left, with one eyes and large mouth) is based on a design by
-Asag (bottom far right, with four horns and long neck) is a character created by
Hope you guys like the sketches

My version of Zalgo is a shape shifter where he is never consistent in one form and that he can take on any appearance one after the next and that heΒ can split himself into his three incarnations if he wants to have an advantage including the bone incarnation, the blood incarnation and the flesh incarnation and The Cult of Zalgo wants to bring Zalgo back into the world of the living once again and to do that, they would have to bring the three incarnations together to help perform a ritual of sorts, one that would involve the Objects of the Holders, considering that they are connected.

Thanks, considering that Zalgo has always been depicted in a variety of different forms, I decided to make him a shape shifter to show that he appears in a different form one day after the next. And while he does have a human form, he is portrayed with a black tuxedo with a red tie and barbed horns on his head and has jet black hair with red tips at the ends. Β Β

Yeah, I know of that form XDDD
I have to say, the more human anime-looking form of Zalgo isn't my favourite
But that's just me XD

I figured you would have.Β
Join the club. I prefer him when he is a tall guy in a black tuxedo and slick jet black hair.Β
My version of Zalgo is inspired from Father from Fullmetal Alchemist, Aku from Samurai Jack, Asura from Soul Eater, Satan himself (Both from real life and the Marvel Comics), The Fallen from Transformers and several others.

Finally getting around to comment on this beautiful piece, man haven't I taken ages sheesh! Anyways, I am thoroughly loving these monster concepts~ They all just a nice tinge of disturbing and horrifying, I especially love the third one over from the left, I love the way branches seem to be coming out of the fellow, dude, keep up the amazing work, I can't wait to see more of this awesomeness~

Awww, thanks so much, buddy
Soon I'll be doing more, including the ones suggested by you
and perhaps in the future I could do a full body version for each creature.
I also had a little bit of an idea too to do with a concept for Zalgo that I thought would be quite neat, though it may be because I've been watching a ton of terrible sci-fi b-movies lately XD
Plus it's partially based off of a Doctor Who episode

You are very welcome!
I cannot wait for the future sketches, your works are really interesting
Oh, what episode? I haven't watched that much doctor who, but maybe I'd be able to recognize it.

Tsnophaljakarax In reply to AskThemCreepies [2017-08-12 09:17:10 +0000 UTC]
well, it's the one with the first appearance of the Ood (the weird tentacle-faced aliens that act as servants to the future humans)
I think it's called the Impossible Planet, if I remember right.
They basically land on a planet that's orbiting a black hole, which is physically impossible.
I just had an idea that there'd be a planet that actually contained Zalgo, and that the entire planet had be contaminated with his essence, so in effect making the entire planet itself Zalgo. I had the idea that Zalgo would be more of a bizarre alien parasite/virus that effects both the body and the mind of the weak and steadily grows and develops until it consumes everything on one planet.Those it leaves alone become insane and start to worship he hivemind virus as a god.
I dunno, just an idea I had

Ah, I have watched that episode, it was... certainly interesting...
That is an incredibly neat idea, I like the sci fi aspect of the idea a well as how he is like a virus. It makes sense, since he is supposed to be essentially a personification of corruption.

Hehe, thanks a lot
I blame my recent watching of old corny B-movies XD
The scripts and acting and effects in those movies are pretty ridiculous, but honestly some of the ideas behind the plots are kinda interesting. It's just a shame they didn't have the budget to fully present these ideas in a better way
And yeah, it's been a while since I've seen that two-parter episode XDD
I'm not as big of a Dr Who fan as I used to be

What movies if you don't mind me asking?
I haven't watched Doctor Who in ages, I stopped watching once Matt Smith became the doctor. Whatever season that might have been...

Tsnophaljakarax In reply to AskThemCreepies [2017-08-17 16:54:35 +0000 UTC]
Oh yeah, me too XD
I wasn't the biggest fan of Matt Smith tbh
David Tennent was the best doctor in my opinion (at least when it comes to recent doctors, that is. Tom Baker's pretty cool as the Doctor as well)
Well...to be honest, I really can't remember most of the titles XD They have fairly generic titles, and I've only started digging them up after re-watching old episodes of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 XD
but recently my stepdad got a copy of one of his favourite movies called Forbidden Planet, which I'm curious to check out. And I also recently watched The Mist, which was an awesome horror movie

I felt as though Matt had his work cut out for him coming after David. David kind set the bar pretty high. As people experienced an incredible actor and I suppose Matt appeared to be trying a bit too hard to be like David.Β
I've heard of all those movies but I haven't had a chance to watch them. It's not like I do much other than draw for a living and a second screen. So I really need to get back to watching movies haha xD~

Tsnophaljakarax In reply to AskThemCreepies [2017-08-17 17:11:15 +0000 UTC]
Haha, yeah XD
I felt the same about Matt as well. I don't think he really got it down right. Plus, I never really bought when he got angry as the Doctor. I remember that David could pretty much turn on a dime, like one minute he'd be all goofy and quirky, the next he's murdering an entire legion of spider-aliens with a dead-eyed almost sinister expression on his face.
Yeah, those movies are pretty awes-...well....The Mist is pretty awesome XDDD
the other B-movies range from "decent plot and ideas" to "so bad they're good" quality XD
But DEFINITELY check out The Mist. It's directed by the same guy who did The Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile

David was an pretty incredible actor and it was most certainly a tall shadow to stand behind. His acting, you could say... was pretty out of this world *ded*

Anyways, bad puns aside, I've heard really good things about all of those movies so I will certainly make an effort to watch them~

hehe, I'm so glad you think so ^^
and this is only the face (also this is a zalgo version of Gemini the "normal" face is just her uncle's head and the woman's head fused ^^)
at some point, I'm gonna finish off a side sketch of Gemini's full body, though it's pretty hard to get the proportions right
but I'll try to finish it at some point ^^
