Currently, she is uploading the pre-production work to her Website/DeviantArt, Website/YouTube, and Website/{{Tumblr}}. Proper production of a 3-5 minute computer animated scene is expected to commence in the fall.

“Monster Boy” is an animation project currently in the works at Bournemouth University. It is based in a world where humans carry invisible “monsters”. These creatures are always attached to their bodies in some way, and represent all that is negative about that person’s personality. Their forms are impressioned by aspects of their host, but exist in a plane entirely seperate to reality. They cannot affect the real world, nor can they be seen or heard.

WOG said it was three versions. Also, moving a few things to their correct pages.


* TheDanza: Christopher Niosi (aka [[TVTomeAdventures Kirbopher]]) as the character Chris.



* DevelopmentHell: The story has gone through at least four different variations.



* HeyItsThatVoice: The storyboard animatic on Youtube has [[WebVideo/YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries ShadyVox]] as the Boy and [[WebAnimation/{{TOME}} Kirbopher]] as Chris, while Nexus is voiced by none other than Creator/LittleKuriboh (using his [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Frieza]] voice, no less!) it is currently unknown whether they will be permanent additions to the voice cast, however.



* WordOfGod: Since the series is still in the early stages of development, most of the information about it can be found on the creator's deviantART and tumblr accounts.

Minor tweaking, and moving the webcomic thing to the description since websites shouldn\'t be listed as tropes. And the link was also dead, so found the replacement. :>

The main character, however, breaks this mould when he first becomes aware of his monster, the self-titled Vex, at age 13. At first, the boy can only hear his voice, but Vex is quick to reveal himself, and the idea of monsters, to him.

The story explores the lives of the three main characters, their lives, and their monsters; it addresses topics such as bullying, loneliness, social awkwardness, loss of loved ones, etc.

The boy discovers that, indeed, he is not alone. Everyone he meets has a monster of their own design, yet are completely unaware of them: his teachers, the school children, even his own parents.

As Vex will explain to the boy in due time, these monsters seem to appear to humans in times of turmoil, and represent their current situation. For example, Chris is suffering greatly from an inferiority complex and artistic frustration, of which Nexus is quick to remind him.

!!Monster Boy provides examples of:

* ABoyAndHisX: More like a boy and his amorphous mass of darkness which happens to be feeding off of his negativity.
* AliensAndMonsters
* AntiVillain: Viola's monster is said to feed less "fervently" on its host's emotions than most monsters, and actually seems to care for her to some extent.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: To a point, Nexus.
* BigBad: The creator has implied that the "villain" of the show may actually be [[spoiler: Chris]] or, more specifically, [[spoiler: Nexus controlling Chris.]]
* BlobMonster: Vex is an amorphous mass of shadows that "stands" at about eight feet in height and is [[AccidentalNightmareFuel covered in faces with rapidly-changing expressions.]])
* ChildHater: The monsters seem to primarily target children.
* TheDanza: Christopher Niosi (aka [[TVTomeAdventures Kirbopher]]) as the character Chris.
* DeadpanSnarker: Nexus is a particularly malicious example.
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: What Nexus apparently has in mind for Chris.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Chris. No matter how many times Nexus destroys his artwork, he just keeps on drawing.
* EmotionEater: The monsters function as this, feeding off their respective child's negative emotions.
* EveryoneMeetsEveryone: In the pilot, Viola meets Boy (though off screen), Boy meets Chris, Nexus meets Boy, Chris and Viola meet Vex, Boy sort of meets Emese.
* HeroicAlbino: Viola.
* HeyItsThatVoice: The storyboard animatic on Youtube has [[YugiohGXTheAbridgedSeries ShadyVox]] as the Boy and [[TVTomeAdventures Kirbopher]] as Chris, while Nexus is voiced by none other than LittleKuriboh (using his [[DragonballAbridged Frieza]] voice, no less!) it is currently unknown whether they will be permanent additions to the voice cast, however.
* InkSuitActor: While it could be unintentional, Chris ''does'' look a lot like Kirbopher. Also see TheDanza above.
* InvisibleToNormals: The eponymous Monsters can only be seen by a select few individuals.
* {{Jerkass}}: Nexus.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Chris. To a point.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Chris and Viola.
* MeaningfulName: Vex (meaning "to annoy" or, more fittingly "to bring distress") and Nexus (meaning "chains").
* MissingMom: Part of Viola's backstory.
* NoHuggingNoKissing
* NoNameGiven: The main character's name is never given, so the creator and the fans simply refer to him as Boy. Apparently his name will be revealed eventually, but that may not be for a while.
* {{Troll}}: Nexus, Chris's monster, is essentially this, constantly belittling Chris's art and messing with him in general.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Chris, Boy, and Viola.
* WordOfGod: Since the series is still in the early stages of development, most of the information about it can be found on the creator's deviantART and tumblr accounts.
