Ideas for one of Nyx's children, Hypnos - Sleep
-signifying flower for hypnos being the poppy; Hypnos is Nyx's son in Greek mythology- he is said to sleep in a cave where no light can reach.
Hypnos being the cause of everything falling into a deep slumber- however because of this, he was awoken to do so. My aim with Hypnos is to appear serene, but to disturb his sleep will result in chaos.
Originally looked at him being a sloth, but it seemed too obvious. The lower half of the page is mainly focused on a more human appearance with a cuccoon like shape for his bottom half; vines coiled around him and laying in poppy petals, emphasising that he is sleep and that he doesnt move much at all.
He physique was made to be very weedy; considering he is being cradled, I wanted Hypos to be not so much a lazy antagonist, but more of a "dont want to dirty my own hands" sort of enemy.
So in this case possibly vines are controlled by him as a weapon?
