horror warning ^v^
Just felt like drawing some horror today, very fun ngl and shockingly easy
So you know that post about the not deer I made?
So I had two thoughts,
Imagine Amity Parkers just adopt not deer all the time, as they're great guards against intruders, don't really eat humans unless desperate, are pretty dog/wolf like in nature so they're pretty chill with humans altogether, and are easy to care for since they can live off ambient ecto (which Amity Park has a lot of since the portal opened) and eat most human foods.
and that there are more "not" animals, and the smaller the actual creatures are the bigger the not version is and the opposite direction, not-whales are smaller than bacteria and protists and not ants are literally star and galaxy sized, godzilla was based off the not lizard, but was scaled down so they could make it attack the city instead of just step on said city like a rock in it's way.
Since I haven’t posted in a while
here’s so drawings I made in class, but I will go MIA again because I am working on a project and I intend to to do it right! Sorry for the random absences!

Gore, Violence and Blood under the cut
What a mess
The hunter brought his rifle to rest on the edge of the deer blind's window. Two young does stood frozen in the floodlight's beam, framed by tangled oak and kudzu... Wait, was it two, or three? There were three pairs of eyes. But what was... Was he seeing things?
Not Deer Phenomenon
Humanity has many "powers"—yet again, I fail to bring myself to explain the quotation marks. As the humans would say, figure that shit out yourself—, and to me their uneasiness is one of the most fascinating.
Maybe it's a result of their Paranoia, but humans just know when something isn't what it looks like. They can absolutely be deceived, of course, and the ability to detect deceit varies greatly from human to human. But when something doesn't look, doesn't sound, doesn't taste, doesn't feel right, then you can count on it not being right.
"Something wrong is not right" they joke
Deathworlders instincts, most likely. Many have explained to me they just feel it "in their guts". They have also explained to me about the "uncanny valley", and how they're wired to recognize not-humans, which usually tend to be corpses or people who have lost their minds to diseases like rabies.
But that "power" goes well beyond recognizing "not-humans". They call that the "not deer phenomenon", and bring forth many tales—as they do, yet another "power"—of such.
"It'll look like a deer, sound like a deer and act like a deer. But then you keep looking, you keep listening, you keep watching, and..." they always pause here to make sure I'm following "... Well, something is not right. It's going to be something minimal at first, something you only notice when you're really looking"
"and then?" I ask, no matter how many times I've heard some variation of the exact same words
"When you see one thing, suddenly you're seeing all. What starts with you noticing that the legs are a bit too tin, ends with your hair standing up and your heart speeding up because you can see it now"
"The not deer"
"The not deer"
"And do you know what it is?" I ask, knowing the answer
"Nope. No idea. Could be a shapeshifter, could be a skin walker, or an illusion. Whatever it is, what's left to do is to leave without looking back and pray it didn't notice you saw."
Needless to say, many shifters have complained about being found out by humans.
