Today's fan art that's not on a Friday comes from Jhonen Vasquez and his graphic novel Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. More specifically, a spinoff series called I Feel Sick, dealing with a one-time love interest for the title character. Devi D is an artist who is struggling, but manages to create (at first) a painting of an unnerving doll-version of herself she calls Sickness. Sickness can speak to Devi, though whether it's all in her head or not, we the audience don't know. Sickness threatens to, and almost succeeds in,stealing Devi's creative abilities, life and consciousness, but is ultimately defeated. (Yeah, weird, angsty and artsy, I know).
But I wondered- what would happen if Sickness won? So pardon the language, just quoting the source material!
