Mock up drawing ideas for humanoid creature.
My idea is a living plant \ pixie creature with its limbs actually being sticks and leaves. I like the idea of using a silver fern as the base for this creature since it is unique to New Zealand and and has been a known icon for generations. ” The undersides reflect moonlight, making them useful aids to navigating bush pathways at night.”* perhaps this character could be a spirit of the forest guiding the lost traveler at night.
A big inspiration for the characters appearance is the art style from the film Epic produced by Blue Sky Studios (references below) however I would like a more whimsical and possible ghostly appearance than the art style from the film.
