Cutesy Monster Ideas

Very rough ideas for creature designs. I'm not sure if the right direction is here but well, it's the brainstorming phase.
I'll be drawing loads and loads of these in the future; do tell if any of them look like they could become something with further development, or if you feel like a particular type of creature would be right for what we want to do.
I myself think the optimal style would be slightly more cartoonish or "heightened" than purely realistic, stretched as far as possible while still fitting the live action plate; shapes concealed in the shadows, odd limbs sticking from behind the benches, beings that would look silly in daylight but seem moody at night.

Notes for future designs (just to write them down somewhere):
- someone with a glowy thing in the chest (but tries to hide it)
- fog monster creeping on the floor
- a flock of little ghost fellas that float straight through the bus
- a creepier take on the masked one

  1. The birdman looks good , maybe something further can be developed. I don't know about the 8 legged creature , would it fit in the bus ?

  2. The ghosts could be good like those dementor creatures in Harry Potter, being black and dark rather than the illuminated white... although they might not stand out at night. The bird man is my favourite, that teamed with the crows feathers on the material page would be good. I guess the 6-legged guy could be an idea as a shadow... as Tomas said may be too big for a bus... or that could give it a comical effect.
