When thinking of my character I try to look for inspiration for it everywhere. This time I actually found it whilst watching a documentary. It was about the rainforest and I thought, why not create a rainforest protector, after all this is what it needs. So at this point I actually researched poisonous plants that you find in the rainforest because i thought this is a way of plants fighting for survival and it fits in perfectly. Some kill you instantly, some damage you if you touch a certain part of it, some make you go blind, there is many many ways in which they do damage which gives my character a range of possible ways attack and defend itself. Also it sets a beautiful environment for my character to be in. That's why I decided to go with this idea. So I started sketching and this is what I ended up with:
It's a mixture of the plants that I looked at; strychnine tree, stinging tree, cowhage, curare, caladium, bead vine, castor bean etc. Not necessary in looks, but also in what they can do
