Mortasheen concept sketch dump for April-May
🕑 Added 2023-05-02 23:42:50 +0000 UTCA few miscellaneous monster sketches from the past few weeks, by far not the only ones but just some favorites I may develop further in the future. These include:
-A ceratopsian Ectosaur with a bit of insect in its skull design, not sure about this one, I like it but it's not quite hitting that Ectosaur ghostliness for me yet?
-A monster inspired by both "The Tingler" and "Fiend Without a Face," producing brain slugs from a skull-like central nest. In the corner is also a sketch of how I'd interpret the Crawling Eye from the film of the same name.
-Doodles of a blobby monster actually made of sand and seashells, or a colony of mutant foraminifers or maybe an Ectosaur based on fossil plankton.
-Kelp Mermaid?
-A monster resembling a pair of long, ghastly arms that emerge from a small bag. Couldn't resist giving it "pac-man ghost" eyes. I thought perhaps the boils covering its arms are full of acid, functioning almost like a jellyfish's stinging cells. This feels like such a fun little monster to draw it ought to be kind of "important" or "iconic." Almost want to save it for its own smaller project than Mortasheen, but I don't know.
Comments
The tingler/fiend feels like a really neat homage while also still feeling like it's own unique spin. Would it be one of the new "Warped"?
Definitely dig the ceratopsian ectosaur, definitely feels like the dinosaur niche most blatantly missing from them. Maybe try giving it a rounder, more beetle-like body with a more goofy little ghost tail?

bag with arms is great
