During my undergraduate years, I began to conceive of creating a monster universe, a world composed of various deadly predators. The 1942 project was the first character I created. It had distinctive antlers and a pair of huge, sickle-shaped forelimbs designed for cutting and harvesting the lives of prey. When the idea of creating this universe was born, I had already envisioned being able to make an individual animation for each of them in the future. Therefore, I decided to start with the 1942 one and create an independent animation for it, as my final major project and also as the beginning of my personally designed monster universe.

This project was not only to complete the setting of the story background that I had initially established, but also to be the first step for me as a creator to continue creating independent animations in my monster universe in the future.

Background

The setting of this story is in the near future. The experimental entity 1942 is a biological weapon that Morph Spectrum Company is about to deploy on the battlefield. It breaks free from the cage, kills the researchers and security personnel, and eventually is eliminated by the robot “Nullifier” sent by the headquarters.

Nullifiers are the mass-produced armed robots of Morph Spectrum. They are specifically designed to suppress any potential riots caused by biological weapons. Equipped with a variety of lethal weapons developed by the company, Nullifiers can handle various complex situations and eliminate any target.

In order to better integrate the characters into the background, I redesigned the material of the 1942 experimental subject. I will elaborate on my inspiration in the next chapter.
