character design wip: inspiration

description:

a tale gaunt yet muscular man draped in dark ragged clothes, bald sunken in eyes and gnarled teeth and thin lips. slouched and in constant pain and anguish visible in his eyes.

the shadow self after suicide: same height build and face but standing buckled kneed up on toes moving erratically and always following. body emaciated yet bloated and rotted at the ends of limped and naked. black bag wrapped around head with zip ties around the neck. blacked and decomposing face pressing against the bag

manifestation of regret and surrounding thoughts hunting him down and terrorizing him in a limbo like world being confronted by all of his misdeeds and personal turmoil. the shadow self resembles his dead body. reliving his entire life over and over again slowly learning where he is and what he's confronting is himself.
