So I slowly started to work on a personnal project. I'm going for something that's like dark fantasy or horror with some weird creatures.
I decided to start with my own vampire creature. These were my first ideas after doing some research. But I eventually wnet back to the drawing board because I was not feeling it.

So after I got some feedback, I started to think a bit more about what kind of creatures they are, how do they live and all that kind of stuff which I hadn't really done originally. I was just thinking of ''let's make some cool looking creatures''. So having gone through that thought process I finally came up with this new design, which is mostly inspired from owls and monkeys (especially orangutans)

And as a bonus, here's a small animated version of the mouth of one of my original design. I'm thinking of keeping a similar idea.
