Something a little different to share today as I bring back the weekend OC spotlight! This time around, a few fairly simple creature designs I mocked up, while I try to recover my footing in the realm of digital drawing. These are a pair of slime characters I've been toying with in my mind recently; a duo of siblings I've dubbed Mimic and Primer.

Taking inspiration primarily from common slime enemies out of Dragon Quest or Chuchus from Zelda, narratively I also wanted to spice these two with some Majin Buu and Symbiote-like characteristics. It all started a few months back when some friends and I were drumming up various faux enemies for a faux game-y type setting, and one of my own first ideas were the Blots - inky slimes who are generally more of a pest than a threat... until they manage to merge with a host, like parasites, coating and overtaking their forms to become significantly more intimidating and even powerful.

Eventually that developed into wanting some individual representatives for the species, and thus Mimic and Primer were born! While Mimic is bit more of a dim-witted glutton who follows her instincts, Primer skews along a smarter and more villainous bent, slotting into a more comfortable role of authority between them. Still, I liked the idea that he nonetheless has a slightly more protective nature towards his sister of sorts, seeing as she acts more on impulse than he does.

Anyway, that'll do it for this weekend, so hopefully I can find something to do with these two eventually.
