EDIT2: Found it.

EDIT: Since this isn't really going anywhere, here's an image a made with Stable Diffusion. It's a vague approximation of the photo in question.

I know that's not a lot to go on but a few years back, there was this image that made it rounds on many of the creepy-themed subreddits. It was a closeup of this creepy-looking face. It has blue skin with mostly human-looking features and the hair is messed up and like spiked out in all directions. The eyes are the most startling part. Bright yellow and they stare into your soul. There was a story that went with it too. Something about it being cursed and it kills anyone who looks at it. It was one of those kinds of images. In reality, I believe I read it was an art piece or something. I was just trying to tell my mom about it but I wanna show her the picture but I can't find it.

Thank you for delivering exactly what came to mind when I read the title.

That's just a picture of ANUSTART

No. This wasn't a meme.

Ryuk is pretty awesome.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

But he is not a internet story

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

True, but who knows what image was used in this particular meme. Description-wise, I can't thing of anything I've seen more spot-on than Ryuk, or someone dressed up as him.

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's not a meme that I'm thinking of. It's just an image. It's a supposedly cursed photograph that kills you when you look at it. It's actually the only image that has ever truly unsettled me. It's legitimately hard to look at.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

well maybe we don't know because everyone that saw it died and you are the only survivor. You have to kill ir now

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I found it. Check OP

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Just posted a vague approximation of the photo. Check it out. Might help.

[-] bogdugg@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Maybe sounds like the art from Fantastic Planet?

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I guess I should've been more specific. This was a photograph of what I believe I read was a very realistic bust. So, it's not a movie poster.

No. This image was far more unsettling than those. Thanks for trying, though.

[-] livus@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

@themightybalian thanks for updating us. Yikes.

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Definitely the right kind of vibe but nah, Pennywise is awesome

Glad you found it , sorry I was looking fir a blue guy.

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that was my bad. Couldn't remember if it was dark blue or gray.

[-] athos77@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

The blue Fugates or Paul Karason?

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

No. Like I said, this wasn't an actual person. IIRC I believe it was just an art piece but just ridiculously creepy. Think something like Momo.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

Probably not IRL blue.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Not exactly what you described but when you mentioned the eyes, I thought of Jeff the Killer.

Theres also another called Momo.

[-] themightybalian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You're the closest so far. It's in that realm of creepy, supposed cursed photos. I'm well aware of Jeff and Momo, though. Know any others like that?

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry, no. Those two are the only ones I know of.

No. The image I'm talking about is deeply unsettling. Just barely human-looking, dark blue (or possibly gray) skin, hair spiked out like a cartoon character who got electrocuted, and bright yellow eyes. It's an photo that is deliberately disturbing. I'm near positive I read that it was a photo of a sculpture. A creepy-looking bust. Kinda like Momo. The sculpture was designed to be highly realistic and highly disturbing.
