Have you ever seen a photo of a planet made entirely of living flesh? Or an insect-human hybrid that can control minds? Or a thousand-foot-long sea serpent that emerges in Iceland every year? These images might look like they come from some long-lost paranormal case file. But this is actually the work of the brilliant artist and worldbuilder Eduardo Valdés-Hevia, who has spent the last several years bringing to life a menagerie of nightmares.
Brought to life through a combination of old photographs and new elements, Valdés-Hevia’s art merges history and the surreal, with images that feel like they come directly from classified historical documents. The artist creates stand-alone images as well as richly detailed series with dense, interconnected lore. So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll investigate the monsters and madness of these dark case files.
Now, prepare yourself for the terrors of Valdés-Hevia…

Something that horrifies me about the meat planet is this: If it was in orbit even as far as the moon, it could EASILY see individua faces in a crowd. An eye more than a mile or two wide, or even hundreds of miles wide as shown, would be so much more powerful than any telescope we've ever made. It could hunt targets across galaxies. It could be looking at you right now.

I get the feeling we're seeing an influx of artists like Eduardo, who adopt the Eldritch horror caught on tape and posted online style of horror, as a result of the fact that actual videos of paranormal stuff usually tend to be faked or too low quality to know for sure if it's real or not. We as a people yearn for the paranormal after years and years of looking for it and as a result artists are appearing that reflect that desire. And that desire is in turn itself a reflection of our fear of bigger, and worsening problems that we are currently facing and that appear to be coming our way in the real world. Giant creatures in the sky are basically the Eldritch horror equivalent of COVID, this big unstoppable unknowable thing that can take millions or even billions of lives without even trying.

The "Facade" reminds me of Parasyte: the Maxim. Manga turned anime, alien parasites fall to the ground, infecting a number of people. The "normal" life cycle of the parasite has them infecting people's heads, replacing them with the parasite which is polymorphic, highly intelligent, and largely hostile to humans on an instinctive level. There are plenty of examples of the parasites eating people in their entirety. The parasites then go on to adopt their host's normal life. Really fascinating story. Now, I just wonder which came first: did the Facade mimic Parasyte, or did Parasyte copy the Facade?

I think an artist like this would like a family tradition we have for Christmas. My grandfather made up a creature called the Hyperwatamus which was described as part Hippo, part Alligator and part something else. A creature that rides on the bottom of Santa's sleigh or comes up from the sewers and makes its bed around the Christmas tree. It attacks anyone who tries to take the presents from under the tree (meant to keep the kids away until everyone is ready) and someone has to fight it (my grandfather and then my dad) and send it back down the drain.

Very cool! If you're going to be doing more GENERAL art and worldbuilding projects, might I recommend the works of Simon Stålenhag? He's made a few art books, and I actually have one, The Electric State! His artwork involves normal landscapes being contrasted with the wreckage of gigantic machines for one reason or another (Electric State specifically notes them as WAR machines), and it's as beautiful as it is haunting. I sorta think it'd be nice for him to get more exposure, kinda like what you did for Alex Ries with your Birrin video (I'd been following him for a while before then). One of his books, Tales From the Loop, was even made into an Amazon Prime series!

This Chanel, all videos on it, your narration and the projects you showcase are superb, it's honestly one of the best subscriptions, i get thrilled when you post a new entry to the archive. Also, Eduardo, real nice work, some images evoke something in my guts, its amazing, and the mystery you created about your pictures is a work of art.

@1:13 That is the most chilling image. It's a creature that isn't evil or malevolent. It's a creature that is likely fueled by pure instinct. However, because of its nature, it would be perceived as evil. It's goal isn't to harm or terrorize. It's goal would be to simply feed and perpetuate its own existence. A human would be seen as nothing more than prey for the sake of sustenance. And it's impossible or almost impossible to stop nature. Thank you for turning me on to this artist.

Hello Curious Archive! I absolutely love your videos; the Curious Archive is one of the greatest KZfaq channels for exploring speculative biology projects I’ve ever seen. A very interesting world that I've been dying to learn more about is a world set in a nightmarish universe of odd forms and somber tapestry. Scorn, an upcoming survival horror game is coming to PC and Xbox on October 21st, 2022, and I think that the bio-mechanical nightmare that is Scorn's industrial planet would be an awesome addition to the Curious Archive. While the world of Scorn may be a little too brutal for you, if the game piques your interest, I’d love to watch an episode all about your travels on Scorn and learn alongside you about how the world works and what it might have been before its inevitable fall.

OMG I stumbled upon this video a while ago and then a long while ago I started thinking about it and wanted to watch it again and for the life of me I couldn't find it again and couldn't remember the name of this channel and I am stupidly happy I stumbled across it again! Definitely subscribed this time, I learned my lesson.

The Megalomorpha project reminds me of another speculative horror from the series Lost Tapes. In one episode, an astronaut is pulled over for driving erratically and admitted to a hospital when an alien organism that has an almost similar life cycle to the Megalomorpha eats her from the inside out and then wreaks havoc in the hospital before escaping into the sky.
