Does anyone remember that unsettling image of the creepy blue faced man?

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.

Was it Ryuk?

But he is not a internet story

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.

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.

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

Maybe sounds like the art from Fantastic Planet?

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.

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

Theres also another called Momo.

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?

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

No but thanks anyway.

definitely not the 2nd one? there are more pics than those. yellow eyes, weird mostly human face, hair that goes everywhere.

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.
