I wanted to test out Clip Studio for animatics, so I used one of my newest story ideas: "One Last Encore" / "Một Encore Cuối Cùng"

For those of you who are new, here's a story blurb:

Tài is a dead 70s musician that has the choice of either being eaten by the moon demon, Quái Nguyệt, or running a Bolero monster music show under him. Tài isn't done being greedy for the spotlight- so he's going to SING!

Enjoy! 🌜🎙️

raw, next question.

[whump-galaxy]

“How often do you eat? Can’t be often enough, looks like you’re competing for twig of the year.”

“It’s not like getting blood is easy. This place is full of cameras and mics. Biting is only gonna lead to more scrutiny.”

“Since when are you scared of humans? You used to terrorize for a living!”

For anyone who wants good recommendations of (relatively) recently published stories like these I’d recommend:

Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda

Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova

The salt grows heavy by Cassandra khaw

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo (not a literal transformation into a monster but magical realism early film alt-history about an actress who chooses to play monsters)

An education in malice by S T Gibson

I might add to this later but these were at least the couple saved on my phone

too many stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for pretending to be something you aren't and losing yourself in the process. not enough stories about turning yourself into a monster as a metaphor for choosing to openly embrace yourself even if it's strange to other people

The Ikugan [Filipino mythology]!

On the island of Mindanao in the Philippines, there are tales of a mysterious group of humanoid creatures with long tails. They are called ‘Ikugan’, which roughly translates to ‘tailed men’ and they were notorious for their ferocity in battle. Their raids supposedly drove the people on Mindanao back from the Agusan valley to Surigao. After a series of vicious raids, the Ikugan creatures disappeared without a trace, satisfied with the destruction they had caused.

Ikugan have an ape-like appearance and are covered in fine, soft fur. They are also said to have disproportionally large hands and feet, perhaps to climb trees more easily. It is said that this species harbours a deep hatred towards humans.

Their characteristic tail is used to hang from trees. When a human victim passes underneath the waiting Ikugan, they drop down to attack.

In 1931, during the American occupation of the Philippines, some of these stories were recorded. It was theorized that the monstrous tailed invaders were actually the real-life Moro people, whose raids devastated the island in the 18th and 19th century. These warriors were known for their particularly long swords, which had the appearance of tails when sheathed. There is another theory that the stories actually originated from the late 12th century, when a group of pirates raided shore settlements. These raiders supposedly threw javelins which were attached to a rope, which may or may not be the origin of the story about humanoid creatures with long tails. This is unproven and remains a theory, however.
