Classic Monsters Design #1: Jabberwocky

Just finished the redesign of the Jabberwock, so here it is.
Once again, did all the concept work on pen and paper. You can also see the poem itself to the left of the sketches; it was there that I did my analysis of it and extrapolated what I could about the creature itself. From there, I focussed on sketching designs that reflected that description.

Design Sketches for the redesigned Jabberwock

You can see the end result above. My vision of the Jabberwock is a long, serpent-like beast that crawls on all fours, quietly snaking through the trees as it goes. It's fair to say that this is a rather radical departure from how it is usually depicted, but despite that, this design still retains a few elements from the original, namely the whiskers and the two 'hair' tendrils. It also still has wings, though they've now been downgraded to fins on its back (this Jabberwock cannot fly)
Next up is Cthulhu. Expect tentacles.
