A red figure with horns tentatively touches one of a multitude of glowing orange tentacles that loom out of the darkness. The nature and source of the tentacles is unclear; the effect suggests a giant anemone, or even a plasma globe. The figure is standing in a red grassy field. All around is darkness. This is not a sex thing, please don't be gross on here. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure with horns stands silhouetted in a blaze of red and orange light. The light is tinged with fluorescent greens and blues. The figure is casting a long indigo shadow and is staring at one of its hands, from which yellow fire is rising. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dull, boggy area in the woods on a gray day. Here, the world is more muted and the only trees are dead hulks. Sitting on a dead branch of one of the trees is a large red figure wearing a red suit and a red fedora. Perched on the figure's left hand is a raven. In the background is the blurry suggestion of a treeline and another tree.

A blue, starry evening. Under the night sky is a grassy hill with a cement cylinder—imagine a manhole—sticking out the top of it. The lid of the cylinder is blown back, and a beam of white light projects from the opening. Leaping from the opening is a dark, horned figure, its hour come round at last.

A large oval mirror in which is reflected a sinister figure in a suit and tie. The figure is wearing thin, wire-rimmed glasses. The mirror has two legs and a pointed tail, and a halo hovering above it. This is a monochrome drawing that looks like it was rendered in charcoal.

A trestle walkway with several people walking on it. Below the walkway sits a giant, house-sized monster with two horns, fur, and one red eye. The sky behind the monster and walkway is a flaming, red-yellow that suggests hell; and you notice that the people walking above have bright white halos. One appears to be leaning over the railing, looking down.

A blue shield with a realistic portrait of a devil on it. The devil has a heavy brow, muttonchop whiskers, and no ears. The devil is rendered in fluorescent green, with yellow light illuminating one side of the devil's face. Above the shield floats a green bar with diagonal yellow stripes on it, looking sort of like those barriers you see at construction scenes. Floating above the bar is a ghostly greenish star. A dark figure is standing behind the shield, aligned in such a way that it looks like the face on the shield is the figure's head. The figure is holding a glowing greenish-yellow key. The devil in the shield appears to be looking at the key. The background of this drawing is black.

A structure about the size of a very small two-story building sits in a desolate, remote area: high grass on the ground, a suggestion of forest in the background. The structure has only two large, round windows in the front of it. The lower window is a bright, fluorescent green; the upper-story window is red. Both stories are defined by metal panels bolted to the front of the building. The overall effect is that of a building that looks like an old-fashioned traffic light. Visible in the green window is a horned devil figure. In the upper red window, an angel stands with arms outstretched, a glowing halo over its head. These windows are the only colored items in the drawing; other than that, everything is a dull, charcoal gray. To the right of the building stands a small figure looking at the building, the red and green light from the windows reflecting off of it. Perched on the top of the building is a large black bird that looks like a crow or raven.

A hulking, crimson devil-figure with horns, a crimson jacket, and a tie stands on what looks like a surfboard with a small jet engine mounted under it, soaring over a landscape. The figure is silhouetted against an orange sky. Its right arm is behind it for balance; its left arm is holding up a phone that it is staring at. The phone screen shows a head with horns, suggesting that the devil is taking a selfie. The screen is reflected in the devil's large, mirrored eyes.

A room, darkened. The walls and floor are the blue color of a normally white room that's mostly dark. There's one light source, though: the large door in the center of the room, in which a tall demonic figure with horns is standing. The figure looks like it is wearing a leather jacket and has one hand on the lightswitch next to the door, as though it is walking into a closet and flicking the light on. In this case, the light is an inferno of yellow flames that spill out into the floor of the room. To the right of the flaming door is a small picture in a frame, the subject indeterminate, and an electrical outlet.

An eerie figure with sunken cheeks and hollow eyes. The figure is wearing a top hat, and a coat with a tie. The background is blazing yellow, as if illuminated by firelight. The figure is casting a red shadow against the background; a shadow with two horns.

A figure stands up close to a blank wall, apparently facing it. The figure's feet are fused into the floor, almost like tree trunks rooted to the ground. The figure's right arm is upraised. The figure seems to be casting a shadow on the wall, but the shadow doesn't match the figure: it is huge, almost swallowing the figure, shapeless except for horns.

A horned, furry monster with one large green eye and two legs. That's the way it was, folks. (Bring on the "Among Us" references.)

A chapel-like building with three tall bearded, robed figures carved into the walls. It has no windows; the walls are covered entirely by the carvings. The doorway is an arched overhang. Below the entrance steps is a large arch over a drainage ditch or something. A figure with horns sits in the ditch, possibly seeking protection from—but, most likely, simply admiring—the vast fireball streaking overhead; the reckoning that those tired old men on the chapel wall failed to prevent.

A tall horned devil-figure, seen from the back. The figure is wearing a hat and a large, furry coat. Smoke is coming from the hat. In the back of the figure is a red window in which sits a person with a coffee mug. Also on the back of the figure are crimson neon signs that say "Diner open 24"
