Comics - Ch14 10
🕑 Added 2015-02-20 23:38:23 +0000 UTC Chapter 14 Page 10 - http://bit.ly/17mPpXh Let's talk monster design a little bit! In this day and age, it's difficult to come up with something truly original in terms of enemies and monsters in fiction. Spellcross itself is derivative of all the games I've played and loved in my life, so I draw a lot from experience when I design a new monster. For this nature themed Garden dungeon, it's only natural (sorry) that a plant type monster would appear. Now, plant type monsters... what springs to mind immediately is a piranha plant from the Mario games. There's only so many ways to draw a plant with teeth, after all. Maybe the plant from Little Shop of Horrors comes to mind? Anyway, in designing this monster I had to make sure it wasn't too "badass". We're still only in Rank C after all, so there has to be room to grow. In this case the big ol' lips and drool add enough goofiness to offset the fearsome teeth.
