Inspired by the pumpkin carving events of yesterday I decided that today I would create a design for a pumpkin creature. The pumpkins we used were picked from a pumpkin patch so I decided to design a creature that would stalk such places in an attempt to find prey.

The creatures head is designed to resemble a pumpkin in form and texture while its body is camoflaged with leaves and trailing vines to blend in with the surrounding plant life. I am pleased with the design of this creature. I feel like I was able to capture an interesting and intimidating presence as well as providing context within the drawing to indicate scale.
