>>55802732I can go into a lot of detail but basically the 'character' itself is actually invisible tentacle monster that lives in a pond in the forest, it feeds off people as soon as they step into the pond by slicing them apart (invisibly of course and that's the part I really want to be animated) and the way it lures people into the forest and ultimately into the pond is through an artifical human which is the character I'll be but the two are linked but seperate identities (imagine the relationship between god and jesus except, for the purpose of eating people).
The character I have in mind is a bishi type, clean but not feminine but not giga chad masculine either. Alluring blue eyes, dark hair in a typical anime style covering the forehead and some wispy strands over the eyes. Fashion sense is sort of a mix between Rick Owens, male gyaru and some western street fashion (primarily black with flowing elements). I want it to be mysterious but believable that people would find this character fascinating and captivating enough to follow them into the woods for a makeout except they're being lured to their death. I'd love to add some subtle blood or gore motiffs as well since I'm an edgelord but I don't want to overdo it.
I really want there to be some sort of hair/head accessory but I don't want to fall into the generic types like this anon said
>>55802679. My initial idea was for a pair of antlers (canonically when the pond monster formed the character [people had stopped trekking through the woods since things like railways had bypassed it], it had forgotten what a human looked like but had an old tuetonic knight winged helmet nearby and thought that humans had antlers and just used some old deer antlers laying around) that had a crown sort of dangling off of it because I thought that would be a fun bit of animation but I fear that the antlers would be too large and take up way to much screen realestate compared to the character. But I still really want some sort of animated head accessory.
I'm probably not explaining it very well but I do have a clear idea in my head.
