One of my favorite subjects to draw is characters. Male characters, female characters, you name it. However, I'm also quite fond of drawing creatures and thinking up ideas for eerie monsters.
I'm a fan of surrealism, horror movies and games, so one thing leads to another. Not only do I enjoy a good, scary creature design in my favorite media, but I also like to throw my hat in the ring and design some.
For this one I wanted to design a creature that would look weak from a distance, "frail" if you will, so the scrawny, faceless humanoid creature fits that bill, but opon closer inspection, the viewer would notice the huge claws and realize... "something is up. It might not be that frail."
I was inspired by the creature designs I saw in games from Fromsoftware. The Japanese studio nails this type of monster design: the feeble-looking creature that can rough you up when you get close.
