Viktor was a character I thought up in 2023 as the protagonist for a horror visual novel.
He was born into wealth in Victorian London but was plagued by madness his entire life, seeing normal people as horrific monsters. The game would follow his pursuits to rid the city of these monsters as he is chased down by the local authorities.
I wanted to make Viktor as unsettling to look at as possible without being downright disgusting. To do this I gave him uncanny features, eyes that are too wide, pale skin and no eyebrows.Â
He had to look human as if he was too horrific he would be harder for the audience to relate to while also blending in too much with the actual monsters.
