Once there was a painting in an old, abandoned mansion. It was a portrait of a woman with a cold stare. Whenever someone looked at it for too long, they would start to feel a chill run down their spine. One night, a curious explorer entered the mansion. As he shone his flashlight on the painting, the woman's eyes seemed to follow him. He heard faint whispers and the sound of sobbing. Terrified, he ran out of the mansion and never went back.
Well, once I was painting a spooky old house at night. As I was adding the final touches, I swear I saw a face in one of the windows I had just painted. It was so terrifying that I dropped my paintbrush and ran out of the room.
It could be the mystery surrounding the painting. Maybe there are no known details about who painted it or what its true meaning is. In horror stories, the unknown is often a great source of fear. Additionally, if the painting seems to have a life of its own, like the eyes following a person or figures moving within it, that's extremely terrifying.
Sure. I painted a graveyard scene. Just as I was finishing the tombstones, I noticed a strange smudge that looked like a hand reaching out from the ground. I tried to fix it, but it kept coming back no matter how many times I painted over it. It was really spooky.
One tip is to focus on the eyes in your paintings. In horror, the eyes can convey a lot of emotion, whether it's the crazed look of a villain or the terrified stare of a victim. Another is to play with scale. If you have a small, seemingly harmless object that is actually the source of horror, make it look huge and menacing in the painting. Also, use negative space effectively. Leaving some areas blank or with minimal detail can create a sense of mystery and unease.
This question is about the Monster Mahjong House. I recommend you some similar fantasy romance novels, including:
1. The female protagonist transmigrated to a kingdom. Because she had a special ability, she set off a storm in the kingdom.
2. "The Witch's Marriage": The female protagonist was a witch. In order to get rid of the fate of being sealed, she married a prince. The two of them had all kinds of love and hate in the palace.
3. "Feng Qiuhuang": The female protagonist traveled to ancient times and married the emperor in order to control power. However, she later discovered that the emperor was not the person she imagined. She began her path of revenge.
I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~š

You can start by reading the horror short stories carefully to understand the key elements like the setting, the monster or the source of horror. Then, choose a color palette that suits the mood, for example, lots of dark colors like black, deep purple, and blood - red. For the composition, focus on creating a sense of unease. If there's a spooky character, you might paint them with distorted features or in an unexpected pose. You can also use lighting effects to add to the horror. For example, harsh shadows or a single source of dim light can make the scene more menacing.
Yes, it can. Narrative paintings have been around for a long time. They can communicate a story without using words. The artist has the ability to capture a moment in time that is part of a larger story. The details in the painting, such as the expressions on the faces of the figures or the objects in the background, can give clues about the narrative. This makes a painting a unique form of narrative art.
There could be a painting in the hallway that seems normal during the day. But at night, figures start to move within it. Maybe it was painted by a deranged artist who trapped souls in it. As people pass by the hallway at night, they can hear faint whispers coming from the painting, and sometimes, a cold hand seems to reach out from it, making the whole place feel eerie.
