Original Parasite Eve storyboards will blow your mind (literally)

The intro scene for Parasite Eve on PSOne didn’t call for every audience member of a packed opera house to spontaneously combust on a whim – every exploding pinkie finger was planned out by a twisted art director and put onto paper before it was recreated on-screen. Those very storyboards have now been shared with the just-as-twisted world by artist and former Squaresoft employee Marco Antonio Velasquez III.

It may make us equally twisted to share them again with you, but we’ve never run this thing on a premise of morality, so enjoy these pencil sketches of flayed human flesh, straight from Velasquez’s DeviantArt.
