WHY
WHY WOULD YOU IMAGINE THAT
WHAT THE HELL WOMAN
although this is a really wicked looking monster
STILL WHY

I DON'T KNOW, I WAS AN IMAGINATIVE CHILD.
PLAGUED BY NIGHTMARES AND IRRATIONAL FEARS. I WAS ALWAYS IMAGINING MONSTERS TO COME KILL US ALL.
IT BUILDS CHARACTER.

GEEZ
I USED TO IMAGINE DRAGONS and other mythical creatures :I

I DID THAT TOO. But nothing quite sticks to me like blind terror, man. I spent a lot of nights locked in the bathroom with the lights on.

ooooh, this appeals immensely to the morbidity in me ;u;

Me too. Ahaha~

I want to see it kill something.

Hahah, i bet it makes some fucked up sounds too :'D
....man, now i wanna play my vidermagames .3.

See, when I put 'monster' into google image search, this is the kind of thing I want to see. Not a billion energy drink logos and a bunch of cutesy crap.

Same here, man. ;_;
I don't mind some of the cutesy crap, but they aren't "monsters" to me, at that point. They're more like critters or something. It's a different category of "monster".
When I think of monsters, I think of the worst possible thing I can imagine, and then I think of something worse than that, and then I think of something that could kill that, and I keep going until I basically can't sleep that night.

creepy pasta XD

I really should get into more creepypasta, man. I never read that sort of stuff or participate in those sorts of forums AND I SHOULD.

lol there's also people who read the stories on youtube as well X3! thats where i find all mine X3

I fucking love this thing 8I
I saw it and was like:

COTSPHAOTSHZGXHfgo LOVE THIS THING 8D

OH GOOD. I don't know how useful it is, but IT'S A MONSTER HEREYA'GO.

But it's n awesome monster and it's somthing Hollywood would be all over like like like Lindsey Lohan on the gas pedal around pedestrian crosswalks 8I

Muahahaha! This is excellent. Truly a creature of dreams.

OH GAWD ;o;
FML
Ill have nightmares forever nao.
evil
evillllllll D'X

HUARGH WHAT IS THAT AND WHY IS AFTER MY SOUL?!

Goddamnit Canadian highways. I imagine creepy things too >.> And werewolves.

It's because they just go in a straight line for fucking ever, and it's either big empty open fields or big tall spooky trees on either side. You just never really feel safe on a highway. Yeeeesh. >_>

I am of the prairie, so mostly just emptiness. Which is creepier in the fog or a storm :| OR AT NIGHT.

You'd love the movie "The Mist" based on a Stephen King novella of the same name!

I saw it in theaters when it first came out, and I actually hated it. >_>

YOU MAKE ME CRY

But srsly I thought it was pretty cool. Far from the best film I had ever seen, but I liked its concept OBSCURED MISTY CREATURE THINGS OH MY that's always fun. But I didn't see it in theatres or anything, I got it on DVD in the bargain bin huehuehueheuheue

Conceptually it was awesome! But I think that's part of why I was so disappointed, yeknow? It had so much crazy potential and IT LET ME DOWN.

Ooooh did you see the original The Thing? :D
How ya feel about that thing?

I personally enjoy the macabre mutation thing in it, i have a twisted fascination for "infections" like this, that warp and just utterly kasplat their host.
I also like how it usually retains some semblance of likeness to its host, that really ramps up the creepyfactor in my eyes!
but.... It lacks the sheer HUMANITY to make it really tingle that uncanny valley nerve, like this thing you drew does though... It's so obviously human, but still utterly alien and inhuman... i love it ;u;

I haven't seen it, and I should! It's a classic!

I completely agree. When I design monsters like this, I start with a very creepy silhouette in my mind, and I think about a specific movement that I want to capture, and then I ask "How could you re-arrange a human body to create this?"
It's not an original idea by any means, but it almost ALWAYS yields an original looking and memorable character.

YESSSSS REARRANGING BODYPARTS MAKE FOR THE BEST MONSTAHS!
Im a huge fan of a game series called Dead Space, as they have taken SO many design cues from The Thing!
One of the enemy designs i like most/find the most outfreaking, is this baby right here
You shoot them enough, and they FINALLY die, falling forwards onto the ground.... BUT YOU'RE NOT DONE BECAUSE IT BREAKS UP INTO SHIT LIKE THESE BITCHES which crawl around and jump at you, screaming. And if the head latches onto you, it breaks your head off and slips its tentacles into your neck, taking over your body before wandering off...
I am wall of texting, but i really think that game has some cool designs C:

Just a case in point to finish my foreverlong post of fanliness:
KISS ME YOU FOOL

So yeah, all in all... Uncanny valley makes for some great designs!

*Boards the Nope Express to FuckThatVille*

I think we all have experienced something similar to that. Its just passed off as imagination/paranoia. Some even do it out of notedom. I love the concept of this thing though.

Oh my goodness!! Would you allow me to make a story based on this? Please? I would give creative rights to you for the character, of course, but this inspires me sooooo much!!!!

My gosh, yes of course you may! :D I'm so flattered! Thank you!
Can you link me when it's done so I can see it? I'd love to read whatever you come up with! <3

Thank you~!! :D I'll work very hard on it!
I will link you when I am done, of course!

I used to imagine ALL KINDS of crazy monsters chasing the car when I was a kid. I think a lot of us did, actually- we just never talked about it to each other. Haha.
