This troper drew some truly horrific creatures when she was younger. They were all different beasties, but they all tended to have qualities that a young child considers monstrous. Like multiple mouths, large claws, sharp teeth, high levels of intellegence, humitarian tendencies... Yeah, this troper was and still is a little messed up in the head. Now while she does draw monsters, they tend to be less NightmareFuel-y.

This Troper always liked to put the bear on the Village Inn Kids Menus into all sorts of peril. Most notably, having velociraptors emerge from a time portal or surrounded by {{Kaiju}} in Japan.

In late elementary school, I'd often sketch the Court of Azathoth, with formless tentacled pipers and some real nice trompe l'oeil AlienGeometries. Of course, my teacher ''was'' an artist with Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials lying about, not to mention an Escher collection and occasional Geger namedrops...

This Troper was known for drawing things that weren't horrifying, just...strange and something a child usually shouldn't be drawing. One picture had a few friends who were being mean to me at the time with giant Pac-men mouths blowing me away in the wind. It was titled "Big-Mouthed Bitches." I was five. Another had a prince who had just saved a virgin princess--you could tell by the blue veil like Mary, I obviously went to Catholic school--and nonetheless the prince had a giant thought-bubble with a woman in a hot pink maid's uniform. That's a rather developed sense of the Madonna/Whore Complex for seven.

A more correct translation of the word that was translated for "Virgin" would be "Young Woman". Just sayin, they even lied about that.

That's oddly awesome. This troper's self portraits were ''always'' clad in blue for many years-- because hey, my name's Mary. That's how we do.

This troper recently found an old drawing book from when she was a kid. It's full of pictures of horrific torture scenes depicting relatives I didn't get along with and bullies. It's in my style, but I don't remember drawing any of it, or feeling the need to.

Does this count? Once found, in a pile of Archies bought at the flea market, one specific one where inked additions gave the impression that Betty and Veronica had very little control of their systems below the waist.

This troper has always loved creating monsters, and she drew quite a lot of them when she was a kid. Some of them were fairly standard {{Mons}}, but a couple of them were rather creepy--such as a poison-toting GrimReaper figure with a cougar skull instead of a human one beneath their hood. She kept them all in a huge folder she dubbed the "Nano Beast" files. This lead to a meme in this troper's family, when her mother looked at said file--she tried to ask this troper if she could draw ''trees'' like every other artist, but mispoke, and said "cheese." Hilarity Ensued.

Similar to the above, I drew lots of Mons. They usually didn't get much worse than being really toothy and maybe having some extra arms, but once I came up with a rather nasty critter with flaming hands missing flesh on its wings and face whose schtick was to kill you and eat every bit of meat off of your entire skeleton.

{{Midna}}: ...oh boy, where to begin? Well, in the past, I've drawn both the monster and giant red eye from ''{{Eversion}}'' and the skull lady from the [=MacVenture=] game ''Uninvited''. There's also inversions of the trope - I've found myself constantly drawing my namesake, possibly because of Main/PerverseSexualLust.

This troper here did lots of Haunted Mansion style portraits of people he hates suffering a horrible fate.

This troper's parents believed he was mentally disturbed when, after being outside in the dark and being incredibly terrified, he drew a Ridley-esque demon creature multiple times a day for weeks. I can't recall if I really believed I saw it or if it weird coincidence... but anyway, IGotBetter.

This troper draws, in school, many pencil drawings of various violent events/horrific characters. However, my style - like XKCD's but uglier and more pencil-y - sort of ruins any fear they might inspire.

This troper likes to draw skeletons, skeletons doing jumpingjacks in sweatbands, Skeleton Cupids flying over a atomicaly correct heart on a valentines day card, the troper also likes to draw ghosts with different disfigurements, One of her faviorites is headless Ned, another is Mangle, who can only be discribed as a Moulin Rouge escapee who got part her face and eye eatten away by a bear.

This troper once drew Shadow Queen Peach from VideoGame/PaperMario: The Thousand Year Door holding Mario's disembodied head in lots of gory details. I then told my little sister "this is what happens when you choose the bad ending in the game." Was she scarred for life? Yes. Am I a sadistic bitch? HECK YES.

This Troper remembers drawing blazing flames destroying his house, his school, random people and his parents. He remembers showing one of these to his mum, she looked at it, grunted and then handed him a picture she drew of her boss slowly being burned by a shitload of zippo lighters. It was a bonding moment for us.

''That's frickin' epic.''

An inversion for this Tropette. At age four, my aunt took me to an art museum. I pointed to a painting and said, "Look, Aunt Teresa! There's a painting of a lady who's going to have her head cut off!" My aunt said she was probably just sick, and was being helped, but then we went to go look at the picture. ''I was right.'' At the age of four, I was able to recognize an execution.

When i was in second grade, my class was given the assignment to draw a picture of ourselves enjoying various types of weather. My friend got assigned wind. He drew a picture of the wind blowing his head off his body, complete with blood and organs coming out of it.

Ah yes, it's about time a trope like this appeared. I've created some... scary things in my many sketchbooks. My work ranges from killing chibi soldiers in increasingly horrific and gory ways, to GrotesqueGallery/BodyHorror monsters, to gigantic EldritchAbominations.

This troper was going through old pictures that she drew when she was but the tender age of five, when she came upon a small "book" she drew (which were basically a bunch of pictures taped together.) The title (written by my mom of course) was "Aliens". This pretty much explains how I was like as a child.

This troper, misunderstanding a project set by her teacher back in 2001 when she was seven, drew pictures of what she thought 9/11 had looked like- people crying over dead bodies, dismembered, covered in blood, burning to death, being crushed, trampled to death under the feet of people trying to escape, screaming in agony etc. She couldn't understand why everyone was making a fuss. She can't quite remember the details but thinks she was supposed to draw a condolence card or something, was probably daydreaming and only caught the part her teacher told the kids about 'realising the full scale of this awful tragedy'.

And now I've just discovered a bunch of doodles in the back of my old science book, the sanest one being a stick figure with a massive afro (a comb sticking out of it and everything) giving the finger, wearing massive platform boots with spikes sticking out the bottom, standing on some other random stick figure lying in a pool of red ink/blood. There seems to be a cat or some other unidentifiable creature eating the dead figure's face.

This troper has been drawing twisted creatures on sticky notes for fun, the scarest ones are a female ragdoll with one button eye torn off and a creatures who at first appears to be two headed, then on closer look, it is actually conjoined, one head is sharing the other heads long tounge, and disgutingly trying to sperates.

This troper isn't quite known for exactly Nightmare Fuel drawings, but rather ... just generally creepy and/or weird. She has found a piece of paper with what ends up looking like a senseless murder - 3 panels involving stick figures of an old woman, a young person (kid? teenager?) and a gun, with the final panel just being a coffin with the cheery words "THE END!" emblazoned at the top.

This troper, in her younger years, would waste reams of paper sketching out elaborate, top-down "battlefield" scenes of human soldiers fighting against whatever MonsterOfTheWeek (zombies, werewolves, otherworldly tentacle-folk, you know) army decided to attack them. The monsters always won, and usually made a gory mess of things to boot. One of the more memorable additions was what appeared to be a pack of wolves converging on a dying man's ripped-open torso...

This troper, though she was squeamish as hell in elementary school at the sight of dismemberment- prop body parts at Halloween caused nightmares for days one year- seemed to love drawing it scenes of death and the macabre. She was told off in art class for drawing skulls and skeletons hanging from nooses on Halloween projects, at one point drew a Medusa head dripping with gore for fun (during a Greek mythology obsession), and in what she considers her {{Crowning Moment of Awesome}} for elementary school, chopped up the little Civil War characters on the worksheets given for a diorama in fifth grade and lovingly drew red gel-pen "blood" on the stumps of the amputated limbs for a medic's tent scene. This act got her a "best history student" award at the end of the year.

This troper's book of doodles contains some truly disturbing things. I label them with wonderful names like ''"Eviscerated Clown"'', ''"The Boneless Corpse"'' and ''"Remains of a Burnt Cat"''.

This feline at heart troper has some really weird drawings featuring Jughead with demon wings, spikes growing out of his back, and covered in chains. There's a little comic I made featuring Archie knocking on the door, and then getting chased away by this freaky looking version of Jughead. Did I mention that this troper was eight when she made the first picture of this version of the character?

In a literal example of this trope, this troper once got a coloring book where a good number of the pictures were alarmingly dismal. (Naturally, it was from Poland.) There was one with a bunch of kids in costume, but instead of looking happy and celebratory they were just scowling out at the viewer in stoic hatred. And one with a ship about to capsize in a storm. One picture - this is more like Depression Fuel - was of a prisoner behind bars who had kicked his bucket of bread over and was holding his face in his hands in despair. This troper felt ''so bad'' for the depressed prisoner he'd literally stay up nights thinking about it, almost in tears. Also, for some reason a few of the pictures had a little notice on them saying "Do not color until age 7!" (Or six, et cetera.) It was all a little threatening.

This troper has a habit of drawing monsters from his nightmares, in addition to gory violent cartoons, various StarfishAliens, and {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.

This troper has a little notebook where random ideas go, even if they make no sense. Most of these pages are strange and humorous, but two pages weird me out and make me wonder why I put them in. One is the number "12" written over and over and over while random smiling faces float around with empty soul-staring eyes. The other page is pretty similar. Except with "fire" instead of 12 and instead of floating smiling faces the bottom of the page is covered with a drawing of a flame. I happen to be very good at drawing flames.

One day I took a course on how to draw cartoon characters. The course wasn't very good, so what did I start drawing instead? Spengbab. To quote the guy sitting next to me, "My eyes feel violated." I got in trouble for it.

This troper and his friends once played a Christmas-themed "Call of Cthulhu" roleplaying game his brother made up. One of the clues he created for the game was a kid's crayon drawing of Santa Claus in his sleigh... with a pair of black-robed monsters in the back seat.

I definately have alot of drawings like this. I draw one of two things: manga sketches, or horrible monster creatures generally. Some of my favorite tend to be pus-oozing, egg carrying insectoid creatures. Fun fun.

This Troper mostly draws in a whimsical style, with huge bug-eyes and such. But, he has tendencies to draw horrific creatures every now and then. Once, I drew a alligator-like creature that had an ''eye sticking out of it's mouth'' and noodly legs that are often in knots. Pretty whimsical, eh?

This Troper had a brother who got in trouble at school for doodling a picture of a tank running over the school and the principal spontaneously combusting. The teacher took it away and gave him a notebook she doodled one- with flowers and kitties. He said that gave him nightmares.

Said Troper more recently had her nephew (not brother's son!) go through this. The nephew was told by his Kindergarten teacher to draw members of his family. He drew a picture of his mother being hung by her boyfriend with a belt. What's worse, said boyfriend was recently indited for murder. Brother-in-law is suing for sole custody.

This troper remembers watching his older siblings playing the Legacy of Kain games, then, under no prompting of his own, gleefully using the word 'impaling' (he was seven!) in description of a picture including, among other things, stickmen being dismembered by falling on giant spikes. To his mother. Who commented "you have a very morbid imagination, don't you..." He now writes fantasy and sci-fi horror novels. Funny thing, life.

Let's see... Eldritch Abomination in the form of thousands of little clay figures... check. Demon impaling a child (scene in a story of mine) on its giant claws... check. Realistic vampire eating a dead deer... check. Small girl transforming into a horrific monster, without realizing what's happening... check. Grotesque versions of cute fantasy characters... check. Yep, I'm nuts.

When This Troper was in 5th grade, she likes to draw an Albino Girl (no, this girl is not albino) killing some bullies, due to being bullied by boys (which contradicts the WouldNotHitAGirl trope). She even made a comic about it.

Eehehehehe.... This troper is responsible for THIS atrocity. Sweet Dreams...

This Troper loves to imagine her own EldritchAbomination. When questioned, she presers to just smile. Why, yes, I have perfected the StepfordSmiler look~! :D

this troper would think of very violent,bloody,with a use of excessive murder torture(and i mean something like, HIGURASHI NO NAKU KORO NI has nothing on me) type things( hers is an example of what this 12 year old can do, on the spot), when a teacher found out a kids comic and thought a kid was sneezing,when, he was hemorrhaging and then he kept reading what looked like a drama comic was actually a horror comic from a man who is being tortured by a killer doctor, the kid got a creepy slasher smile took the teacher to ask a question, killed the teacher, wrote in blood on a wall"alex was here" when back to turturing what looked like a kid, after the bloody-burnt-scared-naked-raped-9 year old woke up he said this. scary as hell read with caution whats that needle?

This Troper's little sister is normally just a cute little kid, but sometimes becomes something of a {{Creepy Child}}, especially when she gets hold of a sheet of paper and any sort of drawing implement. The most recent incident that I know of was when she was drawing a somewhat inaccurate, but definitely recognizable picture of Zetsu, from {{Naruto}}. Yes, that Zetsu. She's also drawn these hairy... monstrous... ''things'' on a regular basis.

This troper recently drew a christmas tree surrounded by elves, worshipping it. Not creepy? The entire picture is in silhouette. Still not creepy? The pointy bits representing the layers of leaves reach out into tentacles, some of them forming the knots around the presents underneath, while the baubles on the tree crash to the ground, leaking an unknown black fluid. Still not creepy? The tree has a large, staring eye in the middle of it, just watching. The "star" is a pentagram. He also drew a picture of a bowling ball, but, again, in silhouette, with an unknown light eminating from within. Turns out, three big colorless lights eminating from a sphere of darkness is creepy.

As a young girl this troper watched the episode of {{Inuyasha}} in which the titular demon cuts of his brother's arm (as he's in his giant dog type thing mode). Somehow inspired, she rushed to her computer an reinacted the scene on MSPaint, even turning Sesshomaru back into his human form, with a bleeding stump. The computer was in her parent's room. After her shower, she returned to find her...''somewhat'' concerned parents asking why she had drawn "two girls doing that to each other." After a long talk I was forbidden from watching Toonami for a while.

This troper is an inversion in a way, when I was younger I drew normal stuff but now I always get told my pictures are creepy

When I was younger, I used to draw pictures of dinosaurs eating people. In one of them, a person's intestines were slashed open by a Velociraptor, and I drew the intestines hanging out of the belly. Everybody I showed them to said that they were very terrifying. And when I showed them to my sister, she started crying. Now I don't draw them anymore. However, I recently found the drawings in the garage, and I thought they were very scary.

When my little brother was about 5-7 he was fascinated by war movies and he would draw pictures of people getting ripped apart by machine gun fire or stabbed with bayonets, he would also draw pirates killing each other and being eaten by sea monsters, once during the first grade I was asked to draw a picture of the Mayflower but I couldn't draw very well so I had him help me and he drew pilgrims fighting, stabbing and shooting each other, drowning etc with copious blood, strangely enough the teacher gave me an A and the drawing was never questioned.

Two more examples one was a very messed up kid who went to my school in the fourth grade, in art class he would draw the most violent things such as people being eaten by zombies, people being stabbed, decapitated, torn in half, eaten or stepped on by dinosaurs, etc, these along with his severe anger issues and violent behavior led him to being kicked out and taken away for treatment. The other was a boy in my neighborhood for whatever reason he was really messed up in the head he would draw pictures of himself killing people such as presidents, tv characters, and his younger brother, thankfully these two got help and are better people because of it.

This troper nearly got packed off to the nuthouse when he was little because he was morbidly depressed, drawing all his pictures with dead grass and trees, dark sky, red sun etc. He isn't depressed, but he is extremely colourblind.

As a child, @/FarseerLolotea often drew weird monsters and violent combat scenes.

This troper's art style is usually very cute and {{Animesque}}, but every once in a while he can't resist drawing horrible abominations with severe cases of {{Body Horror}}.(This contrast used to freak out my parents... which naturally led to me drawing more of them.) These days, I'm devising a comic where I can draw both ways and get away with it.

When this troper was a child she wrote a story about a small animal getting eaten by bigger animals. It's last words? What's going on with my parents?

When my friend was younger, she was angry at a teacher at school, so she drew a little book about the teacher getting eaten by dinosaurs. Me and my friend, as teenagers then decided to draw some interesting pictures of her ex boyfriend after they had broken up and she was angry at him...him being decapitated, someone shoving a chainsaw up his ass, him falling off a building onto spikes, tied to a block of concrete and pushed into the sea, him getting eaten by dinosaurs, him being served a meal with his own hairy balls on the top of it, him getting his penis caught in a shredder, him put in a giant blender...

I think you two were the inspiration for Hannibal...

When I was nine, I entered what I call my 'Goth times'. Just imagine a cute girl with genki like tendencies drawing skulls and bones, bleeding people in the floor, the death looking for souls to take, little girls with chainsaws and menacing people, bondage, torture, complaining ghosts, some teenager going AxCrazy and killing her boyfriend because he cheated on her...Oh, and made into comic with poorly written GallowsHumour.

Seems to run in this troper's family. I had an odd penchance for drawing over-sexed things (eg: a giant pair of boobs - and I showed my mother) and occasionally extremely Wangsty self-portraits. And I drew little naked paperdolls and roleplayed sex-scenes with them. This is the ages 8-12. At least I mostly had the sense to keep it to myself.

My ''brother'' had this even worse. When he was in kindergarten, he used to constantly draw Black Holes (like the one from TheRescuers ) on all of his drawings. It was just there. All the time. His teachers were very disturbed.

He still draws disturbing things, but it's less disturbing because now he's fourteen. Think 'Encyclopedia of Killing Yourself', but with a floppy fringed cat-boy.

Also an occasionally InvokedTrope , me and my bro will draw very strange and creepy things for laughs. Even moreso with me and my best-friend... Times New Roman has never been creepier.

Tjis troper went temporarily mad one day and decided to draw a creature with a mouth where it's chest used to be, with a long, triparate tounge snaking out (which eventually ended up as nine CombatTentacles). The legs are covered in sores with eyes, and musculature poking out; and the feet are a ten-toed claw and a nest of pseudopods. one hand is a massive claw; the other is another morass of tentacles. it's normal eyes are rotted away, and it's standing in front of a wall covered in MeatMoss grown from the organs that squrted out of the monster when it changed. the caption? '''HE COMES'''. He also drew a skull that's normal on one side; with multiple eyes and a third jaw on the other.

This troper's former social studies teacher told this troper's class about when he was student-teaching a kindergarten or first grade class (she can't remember). The kids were assigned by their teacher something along the lines of "draw something about your life". The student-teacher was looking through the drawings once they were collected, and he saw that one child had drawn genitals, weapons, etc. Quite a sad example of this trope.

A few years ago in school, we were studying the Middle Ages when we got an assignment to create a monastery-style illumination of our names based around something we liked. For my subject, I chose cats. Also, I was all too aware of what they ''did'' to cats back then. And so, I turned in a picture of my simple name...surrounding by drawings of brightly colored StepfordSmiler kitties burning a monk at the stake, then dancing on his grave in a TastesLikeDiabetes landscape complete with bright blue skies and a smiley face sun. Did I mention you could SEE the monk's skeleton lying in the ground right below the latter scene? Yeah, I was proud of it.

As a kid, I drew mainly three things: dinosaurs, aliens, and people being killed by dinosaurs and aliens. When I was seven years old, I drew a school being attacked by a UFO and a bunch of kids getting guns to fight back. This was about 6 or so months after Columbine, which I hardly knew anything about. To everyone else, I was apparently drawing a school shooting taking place and needed to be placed in therapy pronto.

This Troper drew a lot of large, complex monsters, complete with soulless staring eyes, giant tentacles, and huge fangs and claws in the margins of her notebooks in 3rd grade. When we had to turn those notebooks in at the end of the year... well, my parents got an e-mail from my teacher...

This Troper and his twin brother (who is also a Troper) while in the first grade developed a fictional character named John Hasey. He was like this secret agent action hero, who did cool stuff and saved the world. I (switching to first person) had a bunch of drawings of him being badass, then one day my brother asked me to draw a picture of him RIPPING OFF SOME GUY'S FACE!!! It took me about a week to agree to draw it. Then, when I did, my teacher saw it and was REALLY disturbed. She took it down to the paper-copying room to make a copy to show to my parents. In the end, it was decided that my drawing meant no harm.

I still draw some disturbing pictures from time to time, one including when I had a nosebleed, I splattered MY OWN BLOOD all over the page to make the dead bodies in the picture seam more "real". Also when I was three, I drew scary looking monster that had PENIS! I am so screwed up...

This troper drew a picture of my character Marigold. Marigold has only one eye but covers the missing one with an orange eyepatch. I showed drawing to a fiend and he thought she was creepy. That was not what I was going for. No! Don't go back to Main/NightmareFuelColoringBook! ''They'll'' get you if you do!
