During my talk with Alan on Friday, he suggested I find inspiration in nature to study and better understand the creatures I was trying to bring to life. An example was to study trees for the Leshy, and try to find faces in the bark. On Monday, I went for a walk in Blean Woods near Canterbury for inspiration.
The branches on this oak are how I imagined the Leshy's horns to look.
The Leshy is described as pale, so it made sense to base some of his attributes of birch trees which are naturally white.
The roots of this uprooted tree were tangled and bound in dirt, something I could incorporate into the Leshy's design.
