Found Character 01

 

Inspiration

My inspiration is actually very simple, just like when I was a child, I would think of the clouds in the sky as the appearance of some monsters. Here is a picture of a dandelion I picked while walking my dog in the garden.
Don't those black dry leaves at the bottom of it look like the legs of some monster? Plus those countless petioles. Makes me feel like a Cthulhu-esque monster. Lots of tentacles and weird shapes.

Sketches

I first drew a rough shape based on my photo. And the nose and mouth of the glasses are added to the original center position. Those rhizomes made me think of some electrically charged elements, while the tentacles underneath made me think of many spiny structures. Its mouth is like that of an octopus or squid, with a huge cavity and full of teeth.



More Theory

Depending on the properties of the dandelion, this monster doesn't need to be huge, but there are many, and it has the ability to split. Just like when a dandelion is blown by the wind, many seeds are born and multiply. To sum up, this is a large number of monsters that appear in groups. They can firmly grasp the prey with their tentacles, release an electric current to paralyze the prey, and then eat the prey with their mouths.
