Incredibly creepy. Probably shouldn't have read this in the dark at midnight. When it happened it caught me off guard pretty good. beer didnt help that either.

This is brilliant! O_o
So this is more like a short story with an illustration within it rather than comic book.
I love it though, very much. <3

Thank you! That was the idea. It was a short text story I wrote based on a dream, and we though it would make an interesting Motion Book... not a comic at all! I think this format allows for a great many possibilities!

Wow, maybe that dream I had a long time ago could make for an interesting story, and that's exactly what I've done. It's not an actual story yet, but I'm brainstorming on it.

Dreams are THE BEST place for inspiration! Hope you manage to put some form on to it and craft a story as I did!

EXCELLENT! That was our goal...it's a creepy story from Liam's book and it translated SO well to the Motion Book format. Cheers!

Oh, this was terrifying and disgusting, but so fascinating at the same time! I can't say I enjoyed it, exactly, but it was very good, and I couldn't stop. It also shows very well that writers can make use of motion books, as you've said. Oh boy, I think I'm in for some nightmares tonight.

This is so amazing that it started to rain right in the moment when the story ended! (Seriously, it's really stared to rain here.)

I'd love to see something else like this, not necessarily a continuation, but something with the same art style and world.

Actually there is another story by myself and the artist, Dave Lupton, called 'Death and the Myrmidon' which you can also find here on dA in the Motion Book section! Hope you enjoy it! It's a little less scary and more fun...

i've expect something better. text is very important. ok i know but for me the Metawhal Alpha is wordy.
it was scary in the beginning

Hey there. I guess this kind of work isn't for everybody, but we wanted to show the WRITERS on dA that there is room for them as well as artists. This story was a text story originally, and not illustrated. Most of the other stories are less wordy, and more sequential. I hope you have found some you like better!

Thank you so much! We were very keen that it wasn't all comic-based storytelling, but that writers could create motion books too.

Great story altogether. The Ending was a bit flat tho.
But really - It's hard to get 'fantastic horror stories' anymore, and the whole plot reminds me a lot of the darker tales by Roald Dahl (much more even than Lovecraft's fiction - but you managed to hit the exact point where both of them meet thematically. Also I feel constantly pointed to some portions of TSR's Planescape setting, where - in some places - it would be commonplace to have the corpse of a god pop up at your lawn (some people in the Outlands even built their houses into dead god's skeletons 
Anyway. The whole thing merges a lot of things I like together, therefore I'd like to read/see more of it. This also is the first time, I feel urged to give you a tip of some kind.
Well, thank you for doing awesome stuff.
