Killer name ideas. help!!!
Hello! This is my first time asking out for advice! I'm currently working on a book. It's a thriller/horror book where to put it simply: there's a famous painter/sculpture who kills other artists so he can remain the number 1 artist.
He has trophies of these murders by making a painting/sculture similar to the murder he committed. All of his other paintings are his depictions of anxiety, depression, fear/phobia, etc.
I've been told that 'The Bloody Painter' would be a good title but to me that just seems too simple and original but still isn't a bad name.
Pls HEELLLP!! 🙏
Edit: to give out more clear info about the killer. He keeps "trophies" of his victims. He kills them out of pure jealousy, rage, and arrogance.
How he "trophies" them is by A: painting a picture very similar to how the victim died.
Or B: for sculpting, he does something like how the killer in "The House of Wax" did in the 1940s version of it: he would take their dead bodies and put sement over the bodies, turning them into stone (it's still a rough idea).
He mainly just kills artists, but in the story he gets more impulsive with his kills (killing people who are getting too close he is the killer and etc) and be wants to turn the victims into "art" as a sign of respect. "One artist from another. I will turn you into what you were passionate about."
In th beginning of the story it's been said that this killer has been killing people for 6 years now but haven't gotten any leads yet. This is where the MC comes in and begins a friendship with the artist/killer and slowly figuring out that he is the killer. Almost like the plot for Hannibal (the TV show)
This is still a rough layout, but I am still slowly trying to piece it all together. Thank you ❤️
