Mad Artist	comment	The right-brain equivalent to the Mad Scientist, Mad Mathematician, and Mad Doctor. May work in any medium, but the subject is almost always evil (for a non-malicious version of this, see Eccentric Artist). They may make statues by dipping live people in concrete/wax, redecorate other people's houses with explosives, or try to get the perfect ending to their murder mystery novel by starting a real murder mystery. The unifying thread is that they always see a few incidental deaths as meaningless compared to the eternal majesty of their masterpieces. Mad actors, artists, dancers, singers, and the like do outrageous and sociopathic things in public either as art, or so that people will pay attention to their art. God help everyone if this character has art as an actual superpower. Just think of the terrifying monsters and objects they could create, the uses of the Anomalous Art they make, or even the terrifying potential in combat as an Art Attacker. This character's motivation and descent into madness may be similar to their scientist counterpart, caused by shunning from the community or a dismissal of their work as too crazy or unorthodox. The Mad Artist is somewhat rarer a trope than the Mad Scientist since, while Science Is Bad, art is almost always good, or at least benign (even if it is angsty or incomprehensible). Some characters actually embody both tropes at once, combining horrific artistic features into works of insane scientific genius with the mad piece of artwork in question simultaneously being a product of mad science (Truth in Television, given applied arts combine art and science to the point of being indistinguishable, with artistic features being incorporated into science and vice versa). Similarly, a Mad Artist could use their expertise gained as a Mad Doctor or Mad Mathematician to work in creating their insane artwork (the Mad Genius archetype subtypes aren't mutually exclusive and overlap quite often). While a Mad Scientist can sometimes be one of the good guys, you'll practically never see a Mad Artist so venerated—to escalate into Mad Artistry, the artist must usually break too sacred a taboo (e.g. murder or torture) to be an acceptable good guy. There is an element of Truth in Television with this trope. However, most Real Life Mad Artists aren't violent. They're much more prone to Angst. For actual artists who draw for MAD (who may or may not qualify as this, depending on the point of view) see that Trope Page. Examples

Mad Artist / int_10e9182d	comment	There are at least a couple of Tales from the Crypt episodes centered around Mad Artists. One of them was about an artist who killed people and used their blood in his paintings and another featured a young female artist (whose work bordered on the grotesque) killing her sugar daddy husband and turning him into soap.

Or that he was a giant chicken. He appears to have tried talking in Chicken, and even wrote some of his diary-like notes partly in Chicken. Or possibly both. He was a Mad Artist after all. If you can't handle the idea of being afraid of a giant chicken and actually being the giant chicken you have no business appearing in this trope. He died with chicken feathers stuffed down his throat. After writing "AWK! AWK! IT COMES!"

After training as a Sith, he built a superweapon that could destroy a city, hoping to freeze the inhabitants at the exact moment they knew their doom.

In his discussions with Verge, Jack outlines his philosophies about the value of decay in classical art as well as artisanal fields such as wine-making to justify his monstrous actions. Most tellingly, Jack lectures Verge on the iconic value of the German Stuka divebomber planes from WWII and expresses great admiration for the Nazis' atrocities (plus Communists') since in his view destruction is the greatest art, with it being a kind of creation itself. So they were the greatest artists who ever lived. This is the last straw that enrages Verge enough to cement Jack as the worst person he had ever ferried.

Mad Artist / int_30940081	comment	Grand Theft Auto V has the man who brutally murdered a young actress named Leonora Johnson back in The '70s. Peter Dreyfuss, a legendary filmmaker of the New Hollywood era (and a thinly-veiled, unflattering parody of Roman Polański), believed that, in order to truly understand suffering and improve his art, he needed to inflict it upon others himself. This led him to kidnap Leonora and horrifically torture her to death, then mail her locket and her severed lips to her family just to twist the knife. Franklin eventually confronts him after you find all fifty scraps of his confession letter, whereupon he rants about how his status as a famous artist grants him the right to do whatever he wants in the name of his art, and how criticism of his behavior is "just the blind moralizing of the proletariat".

Deidara makes frequent references to his "explosive" art, even affirming once that he doesn't do pop-art, he does superflat. Sasori, by contrast, specializes in creating puppets, sometimes out of people (including himself). He and Deidara often argue about whether art is supposed to be fleeting and transient (like Deidara's exploding sculptures) or eternal (like Sasori's puppets). They're both quite dedicated to their art as well. Sasori is ultimately defeated after his resurrection when it's pointed out that his creations will go on forever and no longer need him. Deidara has an existential crisis after being resurrected as an unkillable zombie who thus cannot end his life in a blaze of glory.

Mad Artist / int_3bdaf6fe	comment	Faction Paradox's Godfather Auteur, is as the name suggests a mad writer convinced that he has the ability to write reality into existence. And indeed, it is often suggested that he may be correct to some extent, although he is certainly not omnipotent as he thinks he is. At any rate, he has written such things as Dracula becoming the all-powerful leader of a future Earth, simply because he believes it would make for a more interesting story; and even among his charges and followers, he has deliberately separated lovers because it amused him.

His creations were seemingly normal (save for a huge tower in the shape of Michelangelo's David, or something), but he was so obsessed with beauty and aesthetics that he heavily scarred Yuri with his chisels to "make her perfect".

Or that he was a giant chicken. He appears to have tried talking in Chicken, and even wrote some of his diary-like notes partly in Chicken. Or possibly both. He was a Mad Artist after all. If you can't handle the idea of being afraid of a giant chicken and actually being the giant chicken you have no business appearing in this trope. He died with chicken feathers stuffed down his throat. After writing "AWK! AWK! IT COMES!"

Mad Artist / int_6ac55ec7	comment	In Dungeons & Dragons some races, especially non-humanoid, have whole disturbing forms of art. E.g. one supplement described beholders' art — unsurprisingly, visual and Eye Beams-based: disintegration-carved stone sculptures and installations of petrified victims in various expressive poses. And sometimes one is combined with the other. Depending on the Writer, Medusas can be like this, displaying the remains of their victims like groteque museums. The 2nd Edition versions were a bit more sensible, however; their entry in the rulebook stated that most of them didn't do this, seeing as a lair full of such statues would likely make it obvious what sort of creature lived there, scaring potential prey away. Spelljammer has Reigar, who combine this with elements of Parody Sue and Mad Scientist. They are more nice people than not, but... In the Eberron setting, while nobody really understands why the Daelkyr like to conquer planets and horribly mutate the local inhabitants, Word of God leans towards this interpretation - the Daelkyr aren't conquerors but artists, and destroying worlds is simply a form of art to them.

Mad Artist / int_6c1234ed	comment	Many players of Dwarf Fortress take on this sort of role during megaprojects or killing sprees. In-game, dwarves can go into Strange Moods, where they get an idea for an artifact and pursue its creation at the expense of everything else. If they get everything they demand, they'll produce a masterwork item from their highest skill that ignores normal material requirements (e.g. beds usually must be made out of wood, but artifact beds can be metal) and is heavily decorated. If they fail for whatever reason, they go insane. If they succeed, they (usually) become Legendary in the used skill. There are three normal mood types—Fey (are clear with their demands for materials), Secretive (sketches pictures of demands), and Possessed (doesn't gain experience on success), and two that only unhappy dwarves can have, which really fit the trope best- Macabre (will want bones as a material) and Fell (will murder another dwarf and make the artifact out of their victim's corpse). From the popular LP of this game, Boatmurdered, Sankis becomes one of these after retiring as overseer of the fortress, making engravings about various things that had been happening around the fortress, including elephants killing dwarves, burning goblins, cheese, and homages to other images of cheese.

When you first encounter him, some Raiders are attacking him for slaughtering their buddies and using their body parts to paint some rather disturbing portraits.

Though at first glance he may look like your average Mad Scientist villain, he is actually a disgraced architect (real name Clyde DeWitt) who was laughed out of the profession after one of his avant-garde buildings collapsed a week after it was unveiled. Insisting the building was sabotaged by petty and inferior minds, jealous and incapable of appreciating his works, he unleashes an army of giant robots (apparently designed by him with the help of Big Bad Timemaster) to destroy the city and its "hideous designs". And when the heroes defeat those, he jumps in an even BIGGER robot and goes on a rampage trying to destroy schools and hospitals while blathering on how he's superior to Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright. He's quite entertaining.

Mad Artist / int_705bb59a	comment	In Vampire: The Masquerade, the Nosferatu clanbooks mention some of them making an art out of killing, intentionally employing tropes from slasher movies when stalking their victims. Such Nosferatu are nicknamed "Leatherfaces". The Tzimisce are quite fond of doing this by using their unique talent of Fleshcrafting to "improve" both themselves and their victims. The Toreador antitribu of the Sabbat follow a similar path. Like their cousins in the Camarilla, they're absolutely fascinated by beauty and defined by art... it's just, their definition of "beauty" and "art" has been altered to include "a masterfully executed flaying." One character in the Devil-Tiger Dharma book for Kindred of the East is a Japanese performance artist who had herself torn to pieces by hungry dogs as part of a piece combining escape artistry and video art to commemorate the futility of human struggle. This was entirely intentional on her part, her only concerns in planning it being artistic ones. Her return as one of the Wan Kuei appears to have helped her recover somewhat. Vampire: The Requiem has the Architects of the Monolith, a bloodline of the Ventrue who believe in Geometric Magic and think cities have power. Combine the general tendency of the Ventrue to go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs under mounting odds with blood sorcery that allows them to draw strength from the city, and...

As for the "mad" part...you're an eldritch cultist, that comes baked in. The Ghoul in particular focuses on art, with their ascension requiring them to consume corpses and use the recovered memories as inspiration in their paintings. It's also someone subverted, in that painting can consume Restlessness and produce Contentment, making art a surprisingly good way of keeping yourself sane. And Double Subverted if your painting inspires Fascination, which causes you to go insane from the other direction.

His madness may not stem from his art, but they definitely run together at the time of the game. The best part? According to both BioShock: Rapture and BioShock Infinite's Burial at Sea DLC, he was just as loony BEFORE he was spliced up. The game also features Dr. Steinman, a plastic surgeon who eventually got bored with having to make "the same tired shapes" over and over again, then went crazy from ADAM abuse and started to fancy himself "Surgery's Picasso".

The comic version definitely is, if stand-up comedy is considered "art", as his constant goal is to make people laugh as he kills them. Arkham Asylum: Living Hell includes mad graffiti artist Doodlebug, who makes his paint from human blood, which he uses as part of a long-running plot to free a bunch of demons trapped beneath Arkham Asylum. And don't forget Professor Pyg from Morrison's run, who uses surgery and chemicals to turn his victims into mind-controlled slaves with doll masks glued to their faces. The final issue of Batman and Robin (2009) has Batman, Robin and Nightrunner confront the Man Who Laughs, a French counterpart to the Joker who had a Glasgow grin carved into his face when he was a child by his father when the latter was inspired by Victor Hugo's The Man Who Laughs and in adulthood kills and mutilates people as his own depraved method of creating art, even getting back at his father by cutting him to pieces and keeping him alive in a tank to transform him into an exhibit.

Nail Bunny actually implies that Johnny was messed up before losing his ability, and still did horrible things to people, but for different reasons. The fact that the thing-behind-the-wall is sapping his creativity might be worsening his condition, but only because he was seriously messed up to begin with. The process usually just drives people to suicide, as Senor Diablo points out, not murder. There's also Jhonen Vasquez, the creator of Johnny. While not nearly as psychotic as his creation, he does have hypnophobia, and throws around terms such as "Moose", "Meat", and "Chihuahua" in his creations. Of course, there's also the matter of what he has created.

His sphere also covers creativity and the arts, with it being said that he invented music on Mundus (the mortal plane). Naturally, those who fit this trope are indirect followers of Sheogorath. Of course, being an unpredictable Mad God, he's as likely to torment them as he is to inspire them, but still.

Mad Artist / int_9e2f90f4	comment	Mr. 3, high-ranking member of Baroque Works from One Piece, had the ability to emit wax from his body and used it to entrap victims in interesting poses in the name of art. Similarly, his partner, Miss Goldenweek, would then paint the resulting statues. She also used her paints to create "color traps" in order to emotionally control and manipulate victims. While the two of them, want to eliminate their targets in the most stylish way they can, them being artists, they (or at least Mr. 3) are cunning enough to have been promoted in their organization above physically superior fighters. A more direct example is Giolla of the Donquixote Pirates. She has the power of the Art-Art Fruit, which allows her to turn anybody or anything into her artistic vision. In addition to instantly nullifying the effects of any weaponry and most Devil Fruit powers once they become afflicted by her creativity, she can embed opponents into her works of art, killing them and turning them into part of her "permanent collection."

Mad Artist / int_bff01809	comment	Followers of Slaanesh in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 exhibit shades of this at the least, and prefer to go the horror route in subject matter and medium. Serena D'Angelus in the novel Fulgrim uses her own bodily fluids to supplement her paint after being corrupted by Slaanesh. When that doesn't prove satisfactory she murders someone and adds their blood to the mix. The artwork is eventually used to trap Fulgrim's soul when he is possessed by a Daemon. Fulgim later turns the tables and traps the Daemon in the painting instead. There's also an alien species mentioned in the background that has this as their hat. They consider everything, including war, as an artform. As a result, they tend to go to battle wearing brightly colored armor with weapons shooting technicolor deathrays and have battle plans designed to create the most artistic result, even if it would mean that they would lose. The Tomb King necrotects are ancient architects who were entombed within the pyramids they built for their kings, and have the Hatred rule because they're so mad that during the centuries they were dead their monuments have suffered from erosion or pillaging. Ramhotep the Visionary in life used to drug other architects into a stupor so he could complete multiple great works as their "assistant" while leaving them to be buried in his place, and wants to raze other civilizations to the ground so he can build necropoli over them.

She is definitely not appreciative of the "living work of art" that he shows off to her (Alicia, Jack Napier's girlfriend, who has been physically and emotionally scarred such that she has to wear a mask as a result of what the Joker did to her). His minions join in, splattering paint on works of art in a museum gallery and otherwise being creatively destructive. The Dragon even takes this a step further, slashing open canvases with a sword — until the Joker stops him, admitting that he "kind of likes" one of the paintings (Francis Bacon's infamously macabre Figure with Meat). The premise is so absurd that it's hard to tell if the Joker truly believes that he and his men are "improving" the artistic pieces or if he just wants to destroy everything in sight out of bitterness at his own disfigurement.

He wants to revive a Time Lord dictator by building him a new body, but is far too concerned with both the body and the methods being used to build it being beautiful. He has decorated his house with home-made sculptures of heads which the Doctor comments he finds a bit disturbing, and it's implied that despite his stated reasoning, the real reason he becomes dead-set upon using the Doctor's head in his project is simply because he likes the look of it. The main villain of "Paradise Towers" was Kroagnon, an insane, intellectually-snobbish architect who filled his buildings with booby-traps to kill anyone who tried to actually use them and "spoil" their aesthetic beauty. "Bad Wolf", already a parody of reality TV, had a futuristic version of What Not to Wear hosted by two robots with, er... unconventional fashion ideas. The Doctor meets Vincent van Gogh in "Vincent and the Doctor". While Vincent's mentally ill, he isn't dangerous.

He is also obsessed with creating art pieces out of people he kidnaps by absorbing them into his pots, making them into twisted plant-like sculptures, with the victims being fully conscious and kept in state of perpetual pain and suffering. He's so passionate about his art that he even lets it take priority over his natural drive to kill and eat humans, as when he's confronted by a swordsmith who's completely immersed into finishing forging his newly-crafted sword, Gyokko focused on trying to get him to pay attention to him, rather than to kill him on the spot. Interestingly, the second supplementary databook reveals that the ornate pots he creates are regarded as genuinely well-crafted and beautiful, to the point that they're sold in the human market for high prices, thus giving Muzan a way to gain income in legitimate ways.

A subplot involves a less murderous artist calling a serial killer a hack for making art of others' deaths rather than his own, and challenging him to a dual suicide, to be judged by posterity. The killer doesn't respond to the challenge, but shortly afterwards, he's hit by a car. Nobody's sure whether it was a murder, a suicide, or an accident — and ironically, he does create "art" by raising such a question.

Mad Artist / int_dc72c82f	comment	While Fallen London occasionally brings The Set up, it's in Sunless Sea that they are properly characterized as an extremely vicious gang of artists who moonlight as the most dreaded pirates in the Unterzee. One of their ex-members is one of the recruitable officers, and known only as the Merciless Modiste. She is unparalleled when it comes to creating beautiful and awe-inspiring clothing, but she's also a fan of carving up people with her beloved knives. If you want her to teach you about stealth you have to outwit her in a game where losing means getting stabbed. And don't leave pets in her reach if you don't want her to skin them and make amazing coats out of them. The Modiste herself speaks of a few of her crewmen, such as the Perfidious Composer, who made entire Operettas out of her Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, the Ender of Critics, who enjoyed using knives as dull as the critics' wits to end them, and the Silent Sculptress, who did something so awful with clay and bone (keeping in mind Clay Men are a thing in this setting) that she got exiled. Last, but not least, there's the Pianolist, the captain of the vessel who gives The Set their fearful reputation: The Irrepressible. The single most powerful zubmarine beneath the waves, it's reasonably sturdy, and also packs extremely dangerous weaponry, the centerpiece being a cannon that fires Irrigo paint, which destroys the minds of the crewmen whose vessels are painted with it, and also has a dedicated breakfast nook. The Pianolist usually keeps it around the Gant Pole, presumably to give his fellow Set members either zee-monsters or eerie and unnatural colors to work with. The only time you can speak with him "personally" (using the Irrepressible's speaker system, that sounds like an old gramophone) he demands two previous crewmembers that left The Set, which he considers betrayal, and your own betrayal of them would be a delicious irony. Hand them over, and after a few horrifying noises and an unusually terrifying Vivaldi performance he'll hand you back their hearts made into pianola sheets, which is perhaps part of why he got that name. Not every insane artist is a part of The Set. Sunless Sea has an underwater cigar shop known as Rosegate, whose owner has plans to create the very first underwater cigar, one that can actually work, and be improved, in zee-water. This process requires several acts of cruelty to properly gather the flavors the tobacco needs, with one last touch of Human Resources, and if successful he outright tells you he will light the zee on fire with his new cigars.

Mad Artist / int_ef7b3325	comment	Shortly after the Fantastic Four gained their powers, the Human Torch fought a guy named Wilhelm von Vile. (Seriously, that was his name.) Originally a rather incompetent counterfeiter, he found a set of magical paints that could bring anything he painted to life. The Torch defeated him and supposedly destroyed the paints, but he showed up much later (about thirty years) in Web of Spider-Man #73–76, where he used his paints to awaken the latent mutant powers of two unsuccessful performance artists, then enhance them, and form a team called the Avant Guard, with the goal of plunging New York into an ice age as their insane version of a "masterpiece". They were defeated by the combined efforts of Spidey and the Torch.

Mad Artist / int_f17aa1a7	comment	Bravely Default II has Folie holder of the pictomancer asterisk who in her quest to get high quality paint for her magnum opus has among other things: participated in the invasion of Musa in order to get her hands on the earth crystal, used the earth crystals power to force the growth of several massive trees within the city of Wiswald, destroying public infrastructure and leaving many people homeless just to extract yellow paint from the bark of these trees. Killed Mona and used the despair caused by her death in order to brainwash Mona's parents and loved ones so that she could use Mona's dad Roddy's resources in order to have him create high quality blue paint and lastly secretly kidnapped and killed a lot of people in order to harvest red paint from their blood. Oh and the painting she created using all this unethically sourced paint also happens to be an vaguely organic looking cave mural that fights alongside Folie during her boss fight.

Mad Artist / int_f17c3b1d	comment	When you first meet Kent in Dead Rising, he's merely an egotist photographer who challenges Frank to take specific pictures of him. The second time you meet him, he demands an "erotic" photo, showing a bad side. By the third time you meet him, he's clearly lost his mind, and is preparing to hand over an innocent human to a zombie so that he can photograph the moment of zombie transformation. At this point, Frank interrupts and attacks him (appropriately enough, he's a boss fight — bosses in Dead Rising are called "Psychopaths"). Kent's last request is that you photograph his corpse.

Mad Artist / int_f554e011	comment	Downplayed in Rin's route during Katawa Shoujo. While going through a bad case of artist's block, Rin tries new methods to help her gain inspiration. Methods such as smoking, not sleeping at all, not eating enough and generally destroying herself for the sake of becoming a real artist. It culminates with Hisao catching her masturbating, leading to her requesting he help her finish. In the scene afterwards, he gives her a minor What the Hell, Hero? over the whole thing.

Coat of Arms, creates her own version of the Young Avengers (who later change their name to the Young Masters) as an art project examining the nature of superheroism. Lisa is a True Neutral person whose only interest in superheroism is artistic. Besides herself, this team included two genuinely good people, a Punisher wannabe, a size-changing neo-Nazi, and a robot that said neo-Nazi reprograms to have views similar to her own. She is also a fan of Norman Osborn. She later appears in Avengers Academy helping Jeremy Briggs remove and redistribute all superpowers in the world because she thinks it will be a piece of "performance art" even greater than the Civil War.
