Broodmother is a re-created and changed form of Medusa, where we kept some snake-like features. The artist wanted to create the illusion of a creature rotting into the undergrowth.
The treatment of the wood on her design was inspired by dead trees found while hiking in Moab, Utah. Initial sketches were loose and inspired by insects and arachnids.
We also looked at mollusks, Venus flytraps, tadpole eggs, and different gross fungi for reference to create our unique creature designs.
In the end, we needed the boss to be a large slug-like creature with two arms and a flower on her back, fitting our cultural mix.
