The theme was tentacles this week, and I did what any self-respecting horror nerd did - I looked to H.P. Lovecraft for inspiration, along with H.R. Geiger, Bosch, and once again those daft old B-Movies.
I started off with a mood board, just to get my ideas flowing.
The first design I came up with is this - the Tethkrall. It's a small, bat like creature that dives onto it's prey. From there, it crushes their skull with its tentacles, and then uses it's Lamprey like mouth to suck out the brains.
I like to think of this as "what would happen if Lovecraft and Spongebob had a baby?"
The answer is pretty horrific, but still my favourite design of this task.
Finally, something remarkably different. I wanted to do a more light-hearted variant of the Tentacle man, so I chose the B-Movie stereotype of a man being turned into a creature because of some sort of nuclear accident. Behold, THE WERESQUID!
I laid this out like a poster, and the layout takes inspiration from Forbidden Planet. All it needs is a title.
