Something ancient stirs ...
Creepy Cute Cryptids & Creatures was one of the classes Laural Schultze taught at Twist & Shout this year - fast, fun designs meant for linework (because Halloween can be every day if you do it right).
One of the things I appreciated about Laural's class was how she pulled inspiration from beyond the balloon world, bringing in artist tricks to create a 3D face with a long, pointed nose on a round surface, a simple but brilliant solution.
I felt inspired to try his 'hunched creeper' look when I saw those classic images with his unnaturally long limbs. The problem I see now is that without some sort of visible definition as to where the waist should be, the longer arms on a robe gives a "torso only" look, like he's rising up out of some bubbly slime on the ground. Hmmmm...
