I am not, what you might call, a “fan” of Silent Hill. In fact, it is my firm belief that Silent Hill is one of the most insulting video game series ever made. I’ve played trough nearly all of the games, and found them to be nothing but pretentious messes of broken and unplayable mechanics, terrible design choices, empty and meaningless “symbolism”, and vain attempts to be “stylistic” or “edgy”. Hell, the Silent Hill movie is probably the most tolerable thing to ever come out of the whole franchise.

I never could understand how a series, this far up it’s own ass, could possibly gain the insane amount of fame, success and critical acclaim that it has, but somehow Silent Hill managed it. It has attracted masses of pretentious idiots to buy into it’s pseudo-intellectual bullshit, because they’re all desperate to feel smart and intellectual about their precious fucking video games, which is why they all flock to Silent Hill and then go around proclaiming how “Video Games are art because Silent Hill exists”.

So, today, we will be taking a look at DevinatART’s selection of Silent Hill fan art. Just like the series they are based on, pretty much every piece of Silent Hill fan art, that I could find, is terrible. All of it depicting either the author’s favorite female character or their favorite pairing, with some “cool effects” thrown on top like making it black-and-white, or adding white marks and scratches to the edges to make it “stylistic”. Or, hell, sometimes they don’t even put in effort to do that much. I’ve picked out some of my personal favorites, which we will take a look at now, together.

hey all , this is “Angela” from Silent hill in my own way “manga style”i know that Angela don’t put make up but i just think it makes her look good

Well, here’s one with zero effort put into it. Seriously, notebook paper, again? I remember I used to scribble shit in my notebooks in school, too, but why would you actually use it for your “art” that you share online? Is regular, white paper a rare resource or something? And colored pencils? Unless you are under 10 years of age, why would you EVER think that using colored pencils or crayons is even remotely a good idea?

Now, as the author clearly states, this is Angela, from Silent Hill 2, drawn in “manga style”. What that’s supposed to mean, your guess is as good as mine, since the drawing doesn’t really resemble any of the (few) mangas that I’ve seen. Just looks like a regular, everyday drawing to me. Maybe I just don’t have an eye for stupid Japanese shit. Anyway, one thing that you might notice is how this drawing looks NOTHING like Angela from Silent Hill 2, and I don’t just mean the lipstick, that the author took care to mention. For one thing, I don’t recall Angela having a deformed face, drawn from the side to compensate for the author’s inability to create a human face, either. Look at how her eyes are placed in relation to her nose, and how small her mouth is, then try to imagine this face rotate, so it’s faced towards you. I guess, I also don’t remember Angela having bright-brown hair or a pink sweater, but that’s minor shit.

Jesus fuck, what the hell is going on with her torso? It’s supposed to be pointed to the right, like her head, right? So we’re looking at it from the side? So what the fuck is up with her right arm? You could probably make a checklist of parts of her body that look bigger than her arm, even though they’re not supposed to. For example – her arm looks about as big AS HER FUCKING EYE. It’s pretty obvious, especially from lack of any shoulder, that the author simply drew a quick shape for the torso, then added a line to make it look like Angela has an arm, but I guess she didn’t realize that the line should have been more to the right. Angela’s breasts don’t look right, either. It just looks like she has something under her sweater, pointing STRAIGHT away from her chest, which is not how breasts actually work, as GRAVITY takes into effect. It just looks like the artist drew a quick mountain on the side of her torso, and said “That’s a tit!”. Truly, this fucking shit does Team Silent proud.

My favorite draw of Dark Alessa, from Silent Hill Movie

Well, look at that. Another penciled drawing of a female character. At least… I think, that’s a female (?). I mean, Alessa IS a little girl in Silent Hill, but this drawing certainly doesn’t look like a girl. Just looks like a guy with long hair… a headbanger.

Well, even putting aside the gender confusion, the head is all wrong. The face is way too fucking small, for a head that size. In fact, the face looks like an afterthought of the drawing. What it looks like, is that the author drew somebody from behind, and then decided to erase some of the hair on the back of the head, and quickly add a small face to it. Honestly, that’s how this drawing comes across – like it was originally meant to be the back of the character, before the author realized how stupid the idea would be.

The author also added, what I think is, blood and tears to Alessa’s face because… It’s Silent Hill, it’s dark, edgy and deep, I guess. Of course, none of it looks like actual liquids, it just looks like she’s got a bunch of solid shapes on her face for some reason. And of course, dates and signatures on the image, so the author feels like a real artist, because what better way to make your Silent Hill fan art more pretentious?

This drawing is also part of a set, which includes two more drawings of Alessa, by the same author. As the description of this image states, it is the author’s personal favorite, meaning that this is what he considers to be his BEST example, which is why I chose it. However, the other two are also interesting to look at, because of how different all the drawings are, and yet they are all terrible in their own unique way. It might be some sort of symbolism for how everything is unique or some shit like that, but it’s probably not.

Another Silent Hill drawing. See my comics at: [link]

Jesus fucking christ, what the hell am I looking at? Seriously, what the fuck is this shit? The title claims that this is somehow supposed to resemble Heather, from Silent Hill 3. I honestly don’t think that a more repulsive-looking drawing of Heather is even possible to be made. This doesn’t even look like it’s supposed to BE a Silent Hill drawing. This looks like someone with no talent, or understanding of how to draw a human being, trying desperately to draw Sin City fan art, but then got confused and made a Silent Hill drawing instead.

How is this POSSIBLY meant to be a good drawing? That is NOT what a human face looks like. The eyes, the nose, the mouth, it’s ALL wrong. I’m not sure I can even specify WHAT is wrong here, it’s almost a masterpiece of terrible drawings. It just looks repulsive in every imaginable way.

This is like, what an angsty teenager would draw, during the “my favorite color is BLACK, life is pointless” phase… probably because that’s what the author IS. In case you didn’t notice the advertisements in the description and THE DRAWING ITSELF, the kid who drew this fancies himself a “cartoonist”, with his first graphic novel being about “the status quo of rat race life” and a “rebel” character who doesn’t take no shit from no one. FIGHT THE SYSTEM, brother!

JESUS FUCK, it all comes down to Sonic The Hedgehog shit. Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck is up with this obsession with Sonic shit, that people feel the need to put their Sonic shit into EVERYTHING? Sonic The Hedgehog and Silent Hill are unalike in every possible way, yet somehow, the author of this fucking thing decided “Hey, I like Shadow, I like Silent Hill, I’ll draw Shadow in Silent Hill ^_^”, because he/she is a fucking idiot. I don’t even understand how this is SUPPOSED to be Silent Hill. Just because it has some snow and white blurs in the background and foreground? That’s what Silent Hill is, now?

And why Shadow? Honestly, what the fuck is UP with Shadow? Why does everyone flock to him as a cool character? Just because he’s black and has a “tragic” backstory? Spoiler alert: SHADOW SUCKS. He is literly the worst fucking thing the Sonic series has ever introduced to the world (besides the series itself). If taking the main character of a franchise, coloring him black and adding a tragic backstory, is all it takes to impress you fucking morons, you seriously need to raise your fucking standards, and stop putting your stupid Sonic shit into everything that you can imagine, especially shit that literly has NOTHING to do with the Sonic series, like Silent Hill, which is terrible for it’s own reasons.

All of you, raise your fucking standards, Jesus Christ!
