Description
Bestiary artwork for Endless Realms, a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.
Like the djinn, this creature started off as another! I was asked for "an exotic psionic from the dream realm that floats and has tentacles, capable of mentally enslaving others to create thralls" - it immediately made me think of mindflayers, except I knew I wanted to make mine as NOT-mindflayer in appearance as I could, while still fulfilling the details of the art director's request. Inspired by things like brain-sucking Metroids and the terrifying flying Medusa from the old Ecco games (that thing freaked the hell out of me as a kid o_o), I made a PSYCHIC DEATH JELLY OF DOOM 8D However, the art director just couldn't buy it as an intelligent slave-driving dream-creature, and felt it was better off as a fearsome life/mana-draining jellyfish of the sea. So there you have it!
