Description "DE-COM-POSE!!!"

D'Compose - the Undead Horror.
Probably the more interesting of the Inhumanoids, D'Compose is some kind of rotting, skeletal, Dinosaur-like creature. Gonna be blunt here folks. D'Compose is probably the REASON why the show was cancelled. Don't believe me? Y'know all the things I mentioned in the Teaser's Description? Well, 90% of those things came from D'Compose. Well what did you expect parent's to do when a monster on a children's cartoon OPENS its Ribcage and traps people INSIDE?!
Of the main three - D'Compose is Second in Command, and second-toughest. (Tradition of being voiced by Chris Latta?) And in good ole Starscream Tradition, he sometimes would go off on his own and change his alliances.
As I mentioned before with the Ribcage technique, D'Compose has some pretty disturbing abilities. He can transform people into giant, undead, zombie monsters just by touching them...Nightmare Fuel for a week. He'd use this ability extensively to create minions to battle the protagonists for him. It's quite a grim fate, but luckily there is a cure. Like most undead vampires, Sunlight severely pains, weakens, and sometimes stuns D'compose, and can revert those he's Zombiefied back to normal.

D'Composed was the second of the three I made. And not gonna lie folks - It. Was. Hell. Doing him was the main reason I considered NOT doing the wave. I had no idea how I was going to do him, and it took me a while to find a sprite that I liked. I finally hit pay-dirt with the Geon Sprites. In the show, his arm never had many signs of decomposition other than the yellow color, but I had a really fun time doing the open wounds and exposed bones on the arm. The ribcage I'll admit was a bit tricky - I thought about having the exposed internal organs like his heart and lungs, but they were either too large or clashed horribly with the bones, so I settled on showing some exposed intestines in the lower portion, and personally, I think that it looks just gory enough.
The legs, my GOD I hate the legs. It took me a while to get legs that were thin enough for the sprite. I like how I got it looking like they're falling apart, piece by piece.

So in summation, Undead Zombie-Disease Carrier Dinosaur voiced by Starscream Himself - D'Compose is sure to keep your children up for a month.



(Okay - I seriously wouldn't be able live with myself without mentioning this; when I first got into Inhumanoids, I was temporarily living in a very crappy apartment with a roommate - who didn't take care of his refrigerator, bathroom, or trashcan. So needless to say, the hallway near said items or places REALLY stank. I only ever noticed the smell of horrible decay, when D'Compose was onscreen and using his Zombie Technique. So now, D'Compose (and sometimes the show all together) is permanently associated with that god-awful smell. But for some reason it also added to the effect the show had on me while watching it - it became less of a cartoon and more like an actual experience.)

I think between D'Compose and Gagoyle the parents groups of the time went ape shit writing letters to the network to get the show cancelled.


Great job, you really captured the screaming, rotten look of the character

Indeed. Much to our everlasting shame, the parents succeeded. And Inhumanoids was never touched upon again.

The main thing that sealed the Inhumanoid's fate was the toy line not being as big a seller as Hasbro wanted. Had the toy line taken off and been as popular as GI Joe, Transformers or some of their other cartoon/toy shows Hasbro would have ignored the parent groups like they did with GI Joe and Transformers and keep on going. 

Honestly had they put more effort into the toy designs I think they would have lasted longer.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Yeah I mean parent's groups were all bent out of shape about GI Joe's violence and because the sales of the toys and comics were so strong Hasbro pretty much ignored them. The most they did to placate parent's groups was put PSA messages at the ends of episodes. M.A.S.K. did the same thing to avoid being hassled as well.

Out of the 3, this is the most well done.

I heard about this series on and off. But after reading these bio's I might give it a look.
