Description
A short cartoon incorporating some of my favorite aspects of biology and horror. Internet discussion of nightmare fuel, creepypasta and the uncanny valley have all contributed!They're meant to be nameless and mysterious, but I did give nicknames to all the creatures so I could recognize the files, of course. In order of appearance:
-Bogglemen
-Goliathan
-Muzzle & Gnawbaby
-Dumbo heads (inspired by the Ocean Sunfish, but it's probably not obvious)
-Gaper and Sophagus (based on blobfish and basking sharks)
-Chuckleheads!!! (also my favorite obsolete insult)
-Void snort
-Sex angler (lol, yeah)
-Scrutiner (pretty much just the face of a deep-sea hatchetfish)
-Spore angels (inspired by Clione, a type of sea slug)
-Pucker & Nosey (actually based on "Pob" and "Noseybonk" from 80's television in the UK)
-Peepers
-Grumbler
-The swallower

And that's what I usually expect to see every time I watch one of those deep sea documentaries and see the guys piloting those dinky little subs in an almost infinite blackness.
This is great work; beautiful even!

nightmare fuel indeed, good that i didn't watch with sound Oo;

Aw, I think the sounds are more than half the creepiness, going by other feedback

It certainly has a note of those classical horrors I saw, and a fleeting dying dream too :3
I have been checking your other pictures, and it's really good work :3 sorry that i didn't have any words to comment with, lol

"that is the scariest f****** thing I've ever seen in my entire life" (Nick form the parody Left4speed2)
Not really, but it surely is one of the most original horror short I've ever seen. Totally love and well deserved DD.

Wow 8D amazingly creepy ...it actually got my heart beating kind of fast with the appearance of the Bogglemen...
^^ the blend of all odd creatures and disturbing aspects of human biology is excellent for elevating the Creep-meter >w< You did a very good job making these monsters ^^
It reminds me a bit in feel like some of the crazy monsters in Kentaro Miura's "Berserk" It is a manga and If you have never read it...I would recommend it ^^ You would probably like it

I do love Berserk's surreal demon hordes (my favorites were all the verminous slimy things in the troll caves)
