So, I'm trying to come up with a ghost.
This one is supposed to be the ghost of a miner, hence the miner's hat.
On the left I have a regular kid's ghost with shroud and chains, on the right that's not the Stay Puft Man, but just a normal dude's ghost (when finished it would be shades of grey/blue and be translucent).
It would try to zap you with its lamp.
Now I don't know what concept I should pursue further.
The shroud ghost, well, looks like a kid's comic ghost and would also be easier to animate.
The ghost dude is supposed to wear some kind miner's habit and would be genuinely creepier. It would also enter its See state by emerging from the ground (the cloth ghost would also not be able fly, he'd just hover over the floor).

Any feedback?

On a related note, does anybody have an idea how to properly depict a flash of lightning or fire emerging from an enemy towards the player?
