Sometimes even monstrous monsterthings need to take a step back from being overly bloody.

Right? Just a bloodless vacation or something, strip those bones with some nice salty sea muck :D

Everyone needs a break!

This is pretty effin' neat. I seem to recall Souxsie and the Banshees doing a song based on this thing- or at least had a song with the same title. It was definitely a creepy piece, at any rate. >^___^ Very cool pic, this.

I think I've heard that, gonna see if I can find it! and thanks, he's my fun monster :D

I have the album, actually: it's from "Peepshow". Shouldn't be too hard to find- it's their most well-known. >^___^< Cool-ass song, too, as are "Ornaments of Gold", "Turn To Stone" and "The Killing Jar". Pretty much everyone has heard "Peek-a-boo" at some point, though I doubt many knew just how fucking creepy the lyrics were unless they were fans. LOL But, the rest of the album seems to have been forgotten or underrated except by those fans and the folks who like to catalogue the beginnings of the Goth scene. That band made some fucking awesome music in their day.

*luvs fun monsters.* My only monster is the Dark-dog Night-gaunt I have in my gallery and that thing is only there because it was "practice" art: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3536899/ It was one of those nightmare things that kept popping up in my dreams and the fucker just wouldn't leave me alone. Dreamed about it for literally months on end. Worse were the times the little shit would show up with a whole pack of uglies just like him and I'd have fight them or run. *sighs* Thankfully, I was able to banish the things from my personal dreamscape- I never did find out what they were supposed to represent, though...

Mebbe I should come up with some "fun" monsters of my own... But I actually find it a bit hard to think that way- too kawaii, me.

Cool looking beaties, quite creepy... Dreams are so weird like that. I had a similar spate of reoccurring dreams about a very surreal, well-lit haunted house that I would probably find cool NOW but was terrifying in dreams. All my monsters relate to things that wig me out, but Rawhead is the only one I see in dreams and he's usually much more human and gorey. He also happens to be the only char I don't think I'll ever truely control, so I know what you mean about the Dark-dog being less bad now that you aren't dreaming about them all the time. I'd never want to meet Rawhead, pretty much ever. The other boys would at least be kind and kill me fast LOL! 8c

Eep. I suppose a quick death would be a blessing compared to an agonizing, torturous tearing apart, or being eaten alive... O___o I've had some odd dreams involving houses, too- in one, there was a hallway that, no matter what one did, always ended up with the person going through it in a loop. They'd go from one end, try to get out the other, and then find themselves at the beginning again.

Another "house" dream had me sneaking around the rooms trying not to be seen, for some reason- I lived there, sort of, but I knew that if the "regular" residents caught me, I was doomed, so I hid in the shadows, constantly moving to keep them from catching sight of me. And there were so many rooms in the place- literally thirty or forty of them, some "hidden" from the regular world by twists in the stairwells that you could only find if you knew about them and the right way to "find" them. Sometimes, the secret stairways went through people's private rooms- these were other secret tenants, like me. One of these stairwells always led up to a secret series of rooms that no-one but me knew about, and I'd lair up in there, watching the world go by through the little window that on-one ever seemed to notice was there. Unfortunately, there were times when the stairways had a mind of their own, and they'd betray me by growing narrower and narrower every time I used them until I had to squeeze myself through the tighter and tighter spaces to get to my lair... Eventually, I'd either be trapped in the secret rooms, or I'd be locked out of them, never to find them again. Got that dream a lot over the decades.

I have whole series of strange dreams that played out in story-like groupings. Sometimes, they give me neat ideas for my writing. >^__^<

wow, the resident dream sounds a bit like halloweeen house. There was a room with only water in it and alligator type monsters lurking below a pleasant lily pad cover. The only way through was a clear glass slatted staircase.... ugh i still hate see through stairs to this day! :D

Did you ever write anything based on the creepy residents? Sounds like a cool video game or something!

Oddly enough, no, I never did. I have one story I've been working on that started with a dream about kids being abducted by aliens, or at least they'd disappear if they went were the aliens lived... It was a space-station their ship was docked to, and there'd been this war- the aliens had won... It was kind of a changeling sort of situation because, sometimes, the children came back. But when they did, they were... changed and humanity now had to question their loyalties because of the alien nano-tech that had been merged with their bodies and the living spacecraft they'd been bonded to as pilots. Anyway, it's still in editing stage, and it's one I hope to publish sometime. If you ever see a story named "Fishbowl", that will likely be mine. LOL

I like the video-game idea- you're lost in this massively-huge house, one that keeps changing in floor-plan and danger-level, depending on what choices you've made, and you have to figure out a way to get out of the place. The real "residents" are probably not human, but you rarely see them (you can hear their movements in the background, though, thumps and slitherings as they go about their day-to-day)- if you do, your character dies... Maybe there's some sort of back-story in there, somewhere... Hmmm, gotta work on that, or just write a story based on it...

I have other stuff I've been working on and there's a few examples of it in the further reaches of my gallery- these are three or four years old and involve a race named the A'ao Srii. You might like 'em:

Nice drawing. The way he is kind of curled up in a round burrow, and the loose scattered bones of what looks like a human, it first made we think this was the interior shot of a stomach with skeletonized remains inside of it, though of course, in real life, the bones would be jumbled up due to muscular contractions. Thanks for sharing.
