>>24826059Much like another anon said, this is one of those designs that's trying its darnest to make a concept work, but gets more complicated the more it tries. Making a fake based on a Jack In A Box is fine, but when you also try to throw Santa Claus and nut crackers in there, you'll end up with more than what you can chew. I'd say focus exclusively on the Jack-Box part, since that will leave you with room to make it seem like an actual creature, and not some weird creation whose habitat is restricted to toy factories and haunted circus tents. Also, see if you can make the base stage capable of moving around, even slightly, perhaps by having loose ribbon ends that lets it drag itself over surfaces?
>>24826325The design seems real nice, although the stages seems to be all over the place. Veeeeery similar in Parasect in concept, even if shrooms invading ants are the more renowned example.
>>24831657The last stage really needs more body to work with, that enormous head would leave it prone to falling over at any moment. Or you could go full octopus and give its vines much more gorth, maybe even thorns as well. Another problem is that I see no clear theme or concept with it. Right now I'm just seeing a big jaw with vines, maaaaybe a centaur if I look really deep, but nothing that stands out as creative.
