I am absolutely sure Pokemon fans have immediately recognized this at first glance. Every Pokemon fan knows about the creepy unsettling Gengar, and you did a wonderful job of showing it in this extremely simple design.

The subtle change between the two eyes makes a whole difference than if they were identical. What's more, its silhouette is very well done and with a few zigzags, you managed to capture Gengar's outline perfectly. But what's the most important part of this piece is its teeth. Usually, Gengar has this huge grin that can only be rivaled by Electrode's. You replaced the teeth by the word 'nightmare', which has to be the smartest concept I have ever seen, even though it is quite simple.

Even for those who have NO IDEA about the existence of this ghost Pokemon, they'll immediately associate this with a random nightmarish creature grinning at them.

All in all, this is a quite straightforward design (the line for the outline, the two eyes and its grin), but it is extremely clever. Even if this didn't have a DD, I would definitely be buying it. Great job and I wish good success on your future designs!
