Hello ! Wanted to draw some Hereafter fanart so I have a question: What exactly does Ingrid [Indrid? Not sure how it's spelled] Cold look like ?
From the Episodes:
"On the surface, not much about this figure sticks out. He’s a tall man wearing business casual clothing – khakis, dress shoes, a simple collared shirt with the top two buttons undone, and one hand loosely resting in his pocket while the other idly plays with the lighter, adding a slightly singed smell to the otherwise overpowering scent of bottom shelf cologne.
Honestly, if it weren’t for the nametag this man was wearing, he would seem like just a regular middle manager and you wouldn’t even have been able to guess that this was an Overseer leading a raid on one of the world’s largest companies. Even at first glance though, something about this man feels instinctually off, and then you notice the details.
You notice how his hunched pose never changes, how it seems less like a casual posture and more like a carefully crafted façade. You notice that the cologne is only so strong in order to mask the unmistakable smell of death. Not death in a literal way, mind you, but instead the empty stale stench of stagnation. You notice the color of his lighter’s flame, a sickly green, and how even though he’s clearly standing on the ground, the man still seems to float, only leaving a shadow in the light cast from the flame at his hip.
But, above all else, you notice the smile. It’s a stiff wide smile that wraps all the way to the sides of his head, a smile that’s clearly meant to be comforting but that feels more like a predator bearing their teeth or a corpse stuck in joyous rigor mortis. Normally I don’t like to tell you how you feel about things, but there is something supernaturally upsetting about this creature." -18. Die Card (Part 4)
"In the doorway stands a man who lacks a shadow and yet who seems to make the whole room dark. He’s hunched over in a way that feels more like rigor mortis than casual slouching. He plays with a lighter that emits sickly green flame, and he has a thick deep smile that goes all the way to the sides of his face." -41. A Birthday Haunting
Indrid Cold is based on the cryptid of the same name. His distinctive feature in all versions is an unnervingly large smile. Additionally, my Indrid Cold dresses in business casual clothing in a (pretty bad) attempt to appear "casual" and "approachable," and he only leaves a shadow in the light cast from his sickly green lighter.
