What color is the seventh eye?

Conventional wisdom says that good creature design usually involves simple, memorable silhouettes. Here are some messy, overcomplicated ones instead.
Here’s the rest of the Starman family!
You can find these in 1080p on ArtStation: www.artstation.com/artwork/rRJr02
My guess is that most (if not all) of them are too loud to be particularly good desktop wallpapers, but the size is right in case anyone wants to try.

STARMAN
A bit of EarthBound fan art to exercise my less-developed digital skills (3D modelling, vector art, etc)
Applying some digital paint to a spread of monsters from my sketchbook.
Many of the blogs that I follow have been making statements about the new content rules, so here is mine.
I will continue to update this blog (and my new creature design blog) as usual for the foreseeable future. If you take issue with the new rules and will be leaving Tumblr, then here are some other places that you can find my work online:
ARTSTATION — https://www.artstation.com/chriskotiesen
DEVIANTART — https://www.deviantart.com/chriskot
TWITTER — https://twitter.com/chriskotiesen
FACEBOOK — https://www.facebook.com/chriskotiesenart
I have a habit of neglecting the Facebook page and I’m still trying to get a handle on Twitter, but I update the first two pretty reliably.
Tumblr’s automatic content moderation seems pretty overzealous right now, but I know that it’s hard for a computer to do this kind of curation accurately. I found that 21 of my posts have been flagged, and I have requested a review of each. Hopefully I didn’t miss any.
