Just a headcanon.
Though I usually do characters i relate to with my sexuality if anyone sees this and wants to request something canon or headcanon just ask and I'll do it.
Brooooooo this is so cool, reminds me of junji ito’s work.
The Daughter
I did this Tomie painting some months ago and completely forgot to post.
I did this for the trend on Twitter of drawing Hatsune Miku as a horror/creepypasta character and ended up spending more time on it than planned, so I decided to post her

ZombieCleo x Junji Ito
For Cleo I chose the work of Junji Ito! Specifically I looked at references from Uzumaki, Ribs Woman, She is a Slow Walker, The Enigma of Amigara Fault, and Tomie.
Junji Ito is a master of horror illustration, specializing in body horror and surreal horror. As such his works are not appropriate for younger readers (it will give you nightmares).
In fact, I toned this Cleo quite a lot for the final draft, but I am still tagging this with a number of horror related tags in case people have those filtered out on their dash.

Junji Ito is a Japanese manga artist who writes and illustrates uniquely disturbing horror stories. Most of his works are fairly short and are best enjoyed in one sitting for maximum suspense.
His most famous work however, Uzumaki, is a full-length, 19 chapter surreal/psychological horror about a town that is slowly consumed by a plague of spirals. It's really difficult to explain how disturbing the story is from such an odd concept but trust me, if you are a fan of scary stories and haven't read Uzumaki yet, you are missing out on some of the best horror out there.
My personal favourite Junji Ito story is The Enigma of Amigara Fault. This is a story about mysterious, human shaped holes that appear in the side of a mountain. When someone sees the hole that fits them they are driven by a strange compulsion to enter. That's it, that's the story. Please go read it - it's horrifying.
Im a big fan of horror and specifically of Junji Ito, so I couldnt pass up the opportunity to try out his style with the lovely ZombieCleo. My hand cramped up pretty badly towards the end, but I think I love how their face turned out - I think I nailed that part of the drawing for sure.
Style references
This is probably the most famous image from Uzumaki
I had to cut out a LOT of references that I literally cannot post here because of the intense body horror and gore involved.
Low res image of the Uzumaki title font I copied. There are a few different covers and I have to admit, I picked this one because it was easiest to do and my hand was cramping like wild at that point.
