The hidden truth of the first train - The Iron Monster

October 16, 2024

The basic idea

  • when I was on the train to the base the train I was on made a few noises, one of them is an moan like sound that you will hear animal in pain do or something else for that case
    • The idea is maybe an part of the train has some kind of a flash (goo) monster like monster that acts like the fuel source of the train by consuming other alive things like other passengers or their pets -The monster eat the alive things and burns them inside of himself making them into steam that powers the train
  • Extra points if I can pass some cat or dog being ate, usually that hunt people, people like their pets seeing them dead kills them inside

The drawing will have the meat monster in the train engine with leftovers of past passengers and one passenger finding it out, standing in the middle of the room(only his outline will be seen). This art piece can connect fantasy, horror and reality. Making it as close to a Lovecraft horror as I can make at the moment.

All of this could be a really cool animation Frames will go like this:

  • An bird view of the train
  • Close up to the engine room
  • A passenger opening the door for it
  • Seeing the monster
  • He is taken inside
  • Door close
  • View leaves to the outside
  • Back to f1 with the bird view

Extra info from reality

steam engines (trains) were also referred to as "Devil Wagons" or "Locomotive Demons" by some who were skeptical or fearful of this new technology. The first train was named "Locomotion N.1" the monster can be named "Locomotion Demon" or "The steam devil" or just leave it unnamed for extra secretly effect.
