500th Mortasheen - Oovuleby ~scythemantis

Traditional Art / Drawings / Macabre & Horror

"Mooncalf"

CLASS: ZOMBIE SPAWN

A contender for the single largest monster on record, this gleaming white titan has naturally spawned on only one known occasion, making its way to the planet's then-highest point where it calmly arose into space, never to be seen again. In its wake, millions of long dead organisms were rapidly reconstructed and revitalized, even zombies returning completely to "life" before they began to decay once more.

Clones of the original Oovule rarely survive their first breath of air, and those that do suffer the same strange compulsion to leave the planet by any means necessary, a difficult drive to discourage. How they reconstruct the dead is not yet understood.

It is widely believed that the generation of an Oovule is the ultimate intended purpose of the many symbiotic pathogens responsible for the Zombie phenomenon, making all other Zombie Spawn effectively "incomplete" Oovule or even "prototypes" encoded in viral genes. Whether the virus is engineered, evolved or wholly alien remains a mystery.

500 canon monsters as of 2013!

The name "Oovule" used to belong to a psychic fetus in a floating womb, but that design was absorbed by Tormanshee.

The head and eye perspective on this one is really messed up, hopefully not too immediately noticeable. I bet now it's all you can see, though.

I'm not sure if people will like this injection of cosmic horror into Mortasheen's zombies, but I think they're already far too crazy to be dismissed as a "mutation" or highly evolved "disease." I'm kind of getting tired of zombies with down-to-earth biological explanations. Bring back the WEIRD! I want more zombies created by crazy space rays!

Can I hug it?

You've really outdone yourself for your 500th Mortasheen, and that's saying something.

I love the duality of this thing. Normally harlequin baby related stuff sends me into fits of sobbing, but the kind of angelic-ness of this monster in kind of...Uplifting in a way.

~scythemantis Jan 6, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

i truly like your version of undead monsters, but one question.it is possible to combin the zombie-virus and the vampire-virus?

~scythemantis Jan 2, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

They probably work too differently at this point; the zombie virus (which I think of as many, many viruses and microbes at once now) only affects the original, natural human species, keeping them alive in death as a new sort of organism, while the vampire virus simply guides evolution; vampire type monsters emerge over thousands or millions of years from natural species, and the human vampires or "Ghasts" would now be too different genetically to qualify as real humans, so the zombie virus probably doesn't affect them as much more than a bad cold.
