Mortasheen - CLAMPIRE revamp preview (Patreon)

I think of Clampire as one of the most fundamental Mortasheen vampires, but was never quite into the design I gave it. This new design is modeled after the swimming larval stage of certain bivalves, which really do have two big wing-like lips with a single pair of eyespots! I've combined this with the intense colors of some tropical scallops, made the shell spiny and nasty looking, and I've reimagined it as attacking with glochidia, the parasitic larvae present in some freshwater mussels.
I've also attached the photoshop PSD file if you want to take a look through it!
SUDDEN UPDATE: I wasn't quite satisfied with the eyespots, they were just too flat. Now it has more bulging eyes in its membranes, and the membranes themselves are softer colored with less internal inking. I also gave them blue tips for more color contrast!
