Umbrada - Creature Suggestion (need artist)

Yeah need artist.

About Umbrada Eggs
Umbrada eggs are often found hanging from rainforest trees, dangling precariously on seemingly impeccably thin branches. However, they never fall off. Neither wind, storm, nor rain knocks an Umbrada egg off of their hanging place. This is because of the outer skin of the egg, which is a thin, rubbery substance that protects the Umbrada from all environmental stress. When you think about it, it’s basically an egg jacket.

More about the Umbrada
The Umbrada was originally made as an ill-thought-through April Fools prank from a SAR Center employee. His marvelous idea? Making an umbrella with teeth that, when you close it, bites your hand. Clearly, this “prank” wasn’t taken too lightly, both by his coworkers and the umbrellas themselves. The Umbrada had developed Teasense-like animate qualities and quickly began hostile. After a week of going to the nurse every 15 minutes, the Umbradi finally fled the building and flew off to the jungles, where they now sit among the flowers as tantalizing traps, ready to snap.

You can get Umbrada in black and, for a limited time, in rainbow colors!

Pings!

@jello

This is an interesting idea. 😱 Definitely would be fun for April fools. XD
IDK if I'd be able to really help with the art though, as I'm not the best at inanimate turned animate objects

@prairie basically it’s an umbrella with shark teeth

wigglytuff • 3 February 2018 at 11:21 PM

@jello what does it look like?😸

chamot • 3 February 2018 at 11:29 PM

@jello

Is this what it would look like final stage? Don't ask, it's probably not what you were thinking...

@wigglytuff @chamot

I think it is an umbrella, but with teeth around the edges, that way when it closes it would bite whatever is under it.

jello • 3 February 2018 at 11:59 PM

@chamot holy cow, it looks great, never thought of it like that!

@wigglytuff the egg has an umbrella handle on it, one of the stages is it in like a chrysalis form (just closed) and yah

chamot • 4 February 2018 at 12:11 AM

@jello Thanks for the compliment... By the way, how many stages does it have?

jello • 4 February 2018 at 12:13 AM

@chamot It’s typically egg plus 3 more

chamot • 4 February 2018 at 12:43 AM

@jello Here is the thingy I drew, last evo was posted earlier. By the way, the second evo is meant to be the umbrada running away/hopping away.

Edit: The things on the inside of the umbrella in the first evo are teeth just so you know. It might be a bit unclear.

@chamot nice! I feel the 1st evo should be a bit skinnier...

chamot • 4 February 2018 at 12:54 AM

@jello I feel a bit dumb, but where should I make it skinnier?

jello • 4 February 2018 at 12:57 AM

@chamot so, you haven’t drawn an egg stage yet? If the closed Umbrada is the 1st evo, then make it less bulbous. It kinda looks like a pepper.

chamot • 4 February 2018 at 5:40 AM

@jello The thing that looks like a pepper is the the egg form. Sorry, I had no idea what to draw for the egg so that was kinda what happened

jello • 4 February 2018 at 1:54 PM

@chamot so that is the egg stage, cool. Make it more round towards the bottom, look at a Honk egg. It’s the most basic egg, so it’s the easiest outline.
