User blog:Cottonmouth255/New Inspiration for MH: Metamorphosis!

Salutations, greetings, and many great hellos!

Okay, I've got big news regarding "Monster Hunter Metamorphosis". I haven't drawn any characters in a while, and I haven't worked on any of the storyline, so I was beginning to think I might have to cancel altogether. But just a couple of hours ago, I read another fanfiction over on deviantART that sparked some new inspiration!

Here's the fanfic that inspired me... Primal Fears: Outbreak

The new "Monster Hunter Metamorphosis" probably isn't going to be very long... I'm thinking five or six chapters, certainly no more than ten. Its title is going to be shortened to "Metamorphosis", and it is going to take place in modern-day times. The really cool thing about it is that it's going to be a horror story, something I've never even CONSIDERED writing before!

Here's what I'm thinking...
 * Monsters have become extinct, and humans are enjoying a society much like that of today's.
 * Scientists create a "miracle drug" that they insist can cure any disease or medical condition. In their rush to make tons of money, they don't test the drug properly.
 * Some people turn out to be allergic to the drug, and contract a life-threatening illness.
 * Those who don't die of the illness turn into man-eating savages that resemble the monsters of prehistoric times.
 * Humankind slowly dies off.

(Basically, it's like Monster Hunter meets The Last of Us. Or Left 4 Dead.)

Dark, am I right? Normally, I'd be terrified if I read a story like this, but I'm super-excited about the horror and the mass murders that shall come!

... I think I'm tapping into the darkness within.

'''P.S. I am going to write the original idea for "Monster Hunter Metamorphosis" eventually. After all, there's no way I drew all those characters, wrote that elaborate timeline, or created the best villains ever for nothing!'''
