Seeing as you guys are my watchers... and see the small amount of art that comes with... I'm planning on maybe making a comic series about a boy who's inner demons, are literal demons. I don't have a title yet. (Feel free to comment an idea!)

There's five demons. They each dwell on a certain aspect. He only sees them in his dreams as disembodied faces with hands. They only meet our main character, a 9 year old boy named Ralph.

Fear - Constantly spouts off phrases and sentences designed to give Ralph anxiety. Telling Ralph that, maybe his parents are splitting because of him, or that the school bullies are planning to humiliate him. 

Pressure - Pressure is always telling Ralph what to do, how to talk, how to dress, and etc. Pressure will lock Ralph's mind in isolation if Ralph doesn't follow Pressure's guidelines.

Gullibility - This one acts like a friend, except it constantly feeds Ralph information designed to trick and humiliate him. Gullibility is always trying to convince Ralph that he is Ralph's only friend, and that Ralph should trust in him.

Vices - Vices actually is present in his alcoholic father who has whip like tendrils. Vices will show the father a vision of a happy life, but pull him away. Offering the father a drink whenever possible and etc. 

and Disgust - Disgust refuses to look at him. It refuses to listen to Ralph. It screams whenever Ralph speaks and refers to Ralph as "It" in conversation with the intent on making Ralph second guess his life choices. Disgust has large lines down it's eyes to represent that it'd supposedly cut it's eyes out before looking at Ralph.

I say go for it! You'll have to think of a way to make it unique (which is pretty much beyond me), but it sounds cool. The only thing I don't know about is that the demons only appear in dreams, only because of the dream cliche that I'm kind of tired of. Maybe consider other possibilities of when he sees them? It's obviously up to you, but that's the one thing that stood out to me as worth reconsidering.

I'm actually just finally getting back down to business with my comic I've been editing off and on the past few months, so we can suffer together! I am a dummy!
