So I tried for find the source for current and I couldn't (tried both Sauce Nao and Tin Eye combined with Wayback Machine). So some suggestions.

From Magic: The Gathering (Treacherous Pit Dweller):

From the painting "St Francis Borja at the Deathbed of an Impenitent (1788)" by Francisco de Goya public domain but I cropped it a bit for use at wiki size:

From Seraph of the End:

Not against keeping current though if we can find a source as it is simple and to the point.

I did wonder if the original source is just a public domain demon image combined with a generic head silhouette, the looks not far off but not exactly unlike Eurynome, from the 1863 edition of Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire infernal which is in the public domain, so combining it with this image from Pixabay's "okay to remix so long as you aren't making commercial use of it" license gives me this in attempt to replicate current:

[tdown]1.1, because it looks like the demon is stealing the guy's soul rather than possessing him.

1.2 or 1.3 works.

[up][up] Agreed. Either 1.2 or 1.3, slight preference for 1.3.

Yeah, 1.1 is the weakest of these. It was actually more of a struggle than I would have thought to find something that worked well to be honest.

1.2 is the best, but the problem with it is that it focuses more on the exorcism than the possession part. 1.3 is completely unclear to me, and 1.1, as stated above, looks more like the demon is stealing his soul.

[up] Looks like he's just putting on a supervillain outfit, especially since he already looked mean in the first panel

There are some tells (his eyes look reptilian and he's much paler), but those are very subtle.

Given these options, I don't hate the remade version in 5. Nothing else looks that great to me.

Wait, can we use the art in 5? The wiki is commercial use for the owners.

[up] The Pixabay part is only the head silhouette, the demon is from a public domain work just to clarify.

Calling for 1.2. It's in and tagged, caption besides the painting name?
