Heart of the Wild - Environment/Creature VisDev

Environment/creature development work for a personal comic project. Multi-phase fungal life form that begins as an animal-like being and eventually matures into a large, treelike mushroom. It controls a large territory via a mycelial network that emerges periodically as nodes that transmit information back to the central tree.

Design inspirations were the bristlecone pine, turkey tail fungus, and tamarin monkeys.
