Description

A brief note about what inspired this piece was dontlookatthelights a concept that I was fiddling around with for a while of some sort of an Eldritch donottakeitsname Memory-phage creature that escapes from a lost forgotten corner of this universe stopdonttalkaboutit when foul stars align and it then goes on to immediately devour the memories of those whyareyoudoingthisstopitnow unfortunate enough to draw its (many) gaze.

It might seem quite tame compared to the other Eldritch type monstrosities but whywhywhywhydoyounotstoptalkingaboutit imagine NONONOOOONO having all your memories about...pretty much everything just wiped away one day and you yourself don't realize that you have been reduced to the mental capacity of a new-born child noidontwanttoforgekmerkmkdsfc without possessing any of the memories of...your thought processes, languages, communication ability, emotions, experiences or memories of anything that makes you...'you'. And you can't even fathom what has been stolen from you since you no longer possess the ability to do so.

Or something along those lines, but I forget.

UPDATE 27th Oct: Re-uploading a new image of the original, with some minor color tone correction.

Re-uploading this, because I think I messed up my original submission by altering the main file and turning it into a dup. Hoping I didn't shoot myself in the foot by doing that... TBH Probably what frightens me more than fictional bad guys is some very real imposter syndrome, and there's no easy garlic or holy water to keep that monster at bay.
