Today's horror genre render is a simple one, looking at psychological horror. While rarely outright "horrific" compared to other genres, psychological horror tends to replace the monsters and killers with the protagonist's own mind, often as their life begins to unravel. It explores the mind and the monsters it can conjure and plays on our fears. Its the horror of insanity and how the protagonists themselves are often the root cause of their suffering. Most famously seen in the Silent Hill series, where all the enemies the player encounters are facets of the protagonist's faults/sins.
Our protagonist wanders an abandoned asylum and is haunted by visions of horrific events that may have taken place in the asylum. Are these memories or hallucinations? And what has drawn him to this place? And why does he keep seeing himself in these visions?
While my previous renders had full body shots with the monster looming in the background this time around, I went with a close up, I took some inspiration from the Medium (2021) and Marianne's altered appearance when she uses her ability to traverse the spirit world to give the protagonist's shadow self a slightly more otherworldly look to them.

She looks fantastic! The lighting for the mirror in the background is great as well. I'll bet that was a bitch to get done the way that you wanted it.
