The first one that I made was one that could look however it wanted to, one that didn't have to be plausible in the modern day world and one that didn't have to make sense. As a result I created this:
This creature is a mix of a few things, both real and fiction. The device that holds onto the creatures waist is actually based on one of the first models of wheelchairs / walking aids that was designed in the early victorian era. The creature has no legs, a bloodied stomach and stumps from being rubbed against the leather of the chair and the seat. The creatures arms are long to enable it to drag its weight and its face is covered by a thick black lock of hair.
The second monster I created is in fact fully capable of being a reality. It isn't a monster as such, it is just a human suffering from extreme elephantiasis of the legs, skin calcification of the spine and a malnourished frame. Once again the face is covered, this time by a veil which would suggest that the creature doesn't want its face to be seen but this also hides its intentions. Originally when designing this creature its legs were covered in blood on the inside from where the elephantiasis had caused the skin of the inner thighs to rub raw but I felt this not as realistic.
I've had quite a lot of fun designing the two creatures though if I had to choose I would say that designing the less realistic creature was more enjoyable than designing the one that could exist in real life. I almost felt sorry for the second creature I had designed as i know that people do suffer from diseases such as the ones I've drawn and they are ridiculed and labelled as monsters when they are just human beings.
The next monsters I design Im going to try to evolve further into something just as terrifying as these designs only in different forms, maybe something that symbolises insects etc.
