There’s new insight into how Masahiro Ito created Pyramid Head for Silent Hill 2
. The artist took to Twitter to share the art that led to the enemy’s final look. While the characters’ roots lie in his Strange Head series of paintings and a prototype appeared in his piece “3328,” Ito specifically cited “3310.” Here’s a closer look at “3310” with Masahiro Ito’s commentary. He specifically mentioned it as some entity James could have encountered in the water. In a follow-up comment, he noted that Braveheart’s executioners also inspired the opponent.
"3310", a painting that I did after finishing making the 1st Silent Hill in 1999. I was thinking the object of in the middle of this pic as a character that the protagonist encountered in water from an story-idea for the SH2. This figure became Pyramid Head eventually. pic.twitter.com/eJgDUgrhZe

Here’s Masahiro Ito’s “3328,” which shows multiple Pyramid Head-like creatures on the sides of the painting.

Finally, here are his “Strange Head” pieces.
The first piece is the same figure that I painted in my art student days. From 1994-1996 paintings.https://t.co/Bdd7Dgxn5G

People will soon get a chance to see Pyramid Head again, as a Silent Hill 2 remake is in development. It is in development for the PS5 and PC. Silent Hill 2 is available on the PS2, Xbox, and PC, with a remastered version on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in Silent Hill HD Collection.
