| 1 | ''[[http://www.drawnbypain.com/ Drawn By Pain]]'' is a free twelve-episode WebOriginal series mixing [[LiveActionTV live action]] sequences and animation. It centers on Emily, a young woman whose life turned very surreal indeed after her [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] attempted to beat her... at which point the superheroine who she drew as a distraction came to life and slaughtered him -- and then her loving mother. |

| 5 | !!''DrawnByPain'' provides examples of: |
| 6 | * BloodlessCarnage: {{Averted}}, her powers work inside the victim's mind, so any hits would register as raw pain despite the animated blood spurts. |
| 7 | * ClusterFBomb: Not enough for VulgarHumor, but enough to be (semi)realistic. |
| 8 | * DeathByOriginStory: [[spoiler: both of Emily's parents are killed in the first episode]] |
| 9 | * DefrostingIceQueen |
| 10 | * EnemyWithout: [[spoiler: Fear and the Wolf]] |
| 11 | * {{Flashback}} |
| 12 | * FreudianExcuse |
| 13 | * OminousLatinChanting |
| 14 | * PowerBornOfMadness |
| 15 | * PrimalFear: The source of her powers,[[spoiler: and the reason they start turning on her.]] |
| 16 | * SuperHeroOrigin: [[DeconstructedTrope Dear God.]] |
| 17 | * SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism (decidedly on the cynical side) |
| 18 | * ThereAreNoTherapists: Apparently, seeing [[spoiler: her mother beaten to death and your (step?)father die - supposedly - of a heart attack just before doing the same to her]] isn't reason for Emily to have gotten professional support. |
