Weird Creature

I was looking back at some books I read as a child and found the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series. The illustrations by Stephen Gammell never ceases to illicit a feeling of unease even as an adult. So I decided to do my own black and white illustrations with weird monsters as a homage to Mr. Gammell.

Looks like a broccoli monster, but I actually searched Antarctica undersea and found some weird anemones that looks like puff balls. The lighting in the image made the indentations at the base of one particular anemone to appear recessed, creating distorted face-like features.
