About Zooliminology

Zooliminology is a project created to explore the surreal aspects of liminal spaces and create hypothetical fauna that could live in them. This project is created explicitly to avoid horror tropes commonly found in liminal art and media nowadays and aims to use the more surreal, strange, and sometimes silly aspects that can be found in liminal spaces to have a different spin on the genre. Zooliminology provides a gallery of artworks exploring different places and creatures in the Far Plane, a plane of existence found outside standard reality.

Feel free to use the ask or message feature to ask further questions about the project or suggest possible pieces. However, please note that suggestions are not 100% guaranteed to be used.

in the details tab for the longlegs plushie page it says “some heights may vary due to hair, or additional accessories”

does the plushie even come with either of those? does ‘hair’ just mean the fabric? im confused

[I assume that's a catch-all and meant more so for more complicated plushes, like humanoid ones that have accessories.]

[For everyone who missed the Longlegs Plush that DEFINITELY ended yesterday...]

Backrooms Movie

[Usually, I would post this on my personal blog, but I watched the Backrooms movie on Monday, and it made me realize I really need to lean back into a level of surrealism that's probably been missing from my stuff for a bit now. Along with some little lore snippets that I haven't dug into enough!

Also, without spoilers, Backrooms is pretty much everything I could hope for with liminal horror. It does something incredibly interesting with the premise of the back rooms of reality, which I haven't seen in ANY liminal media before.]

[Only THREE days left for the Longlegs plush! If you want it, move fast!]

Is it okay if I use some short clips from your series in a youtube video? I have an "Artist Shout-out" segment in the videos I make. Just a short portion where I plug another person's socials and explain what about their work is inspiring to me 💙

[Go ahead!]

Hi, I'm a fan and am currently making a Minecraft mod about the Far Plane and the Zooliminology creatures for fun. I wanted to ask if it would be fine for me to publish it one day on various mod platforms and to post about it on social media.

[Yes, just please credit Zoolim where able!]

[zooliminology]

but are they real plastics or pseudoplastics

They are 'real' plastics. It is unclear how they came to be within the Far Plane, but they are chemically identical to manufactured plastics on Earth.

[zooliminology]

[An olive branch for Stuff Taking Time... a few assets I've whipped up for something y'all have been asking about for a long time.]

[zooliminology]

what about microplastics you are wear gloves shed microplastic big danger crunchy microplastic into far plane?

Plastics are a naturally occurring material within the Far Plane.
