Something that horrifies me about the meat planet is this: If it was in orbit even as far as the moon, it could EASILY see individua faces in a crowd. An eye more than a mile or two wide, or even hundreds of miles wide as shown, would be so much more powerful than any telescope we've ever made. It could hunt targets across galaxies. It could be looking at you right now.

His artwork involves normal landscapes being contrasted with the wreckage of gigantic machines for one reason or another (Electric State specifically notes them as WAR machines), and it's as beautiful as it is haunting. I sorta think it'd be nice for him to get more exposure, kinda like what you did for Alex Ries with your Birrin video (I'd been following him for a while before then).

A creature that rides on the bottom of Santa's sleigh or comes up from the sewers and makes its bed around the Christmas tree. It attacks anyone who tries to take the presents from under the tree (meant to keep the kids away until everyone is ready) and someone has to fight it (my grandfather and then my dad) and send it back down the drain.

Scorn, an upcoming survival horror game is coming to PC and Xbox on October 21st, 2022, and I think that the bio-mechanical nightmare that is Scorn's industrial planet would be an awesome addition to the Curious Archive. While the world of Scorn may be a little too brutal for you, if the game piques your interest, I’d love to watch an episode all about your travels on Scorn and learn alongside you about how the world works and what it might have been before its inevitable fall.

The "Facade" reminds me of Parasyte: the Maxim. Manga turned anime, alien parasites fall to the ground, infecting a number of people. The "normal" life cycle of the parasite has them infecting people's heads, replacing them with the parasite which is polymorphic, highly intelligent, and largely hostile to humans on an instinctive level. There are plenty of examples of the parasites eating people in their entirety. The parasites then go on to adopt their host's normal life. Really fascinating story. Now, I just wonder which came first: did the Facade mimic Parasyte, or did Parasyte copy the Facade?

We have such cool projects like this in existence and still get horror movies that rip off each other rather than being new and original like this stuff.

I follow this guy on Twitter, and he gets me EVERY time! It gives me some Ayami Kojima (artist of the Castlevania game series) and Junji Ito. He blows me away every time and I hope to look up to him for giving me many more pieces of inspiration for my own artwork and fantasque story writing.
