This piece was a submission for the Character Design challenge on Facebook, which I did back in 2021.
The theme for the submission was "Mushroom Warrior", which immediately caught my interest as I love spotting mushrooms in real life on dog walks. So after a lot of research, I designed this character. In hindsight, I may have gone OTT with the number of different mushrooms that inspired the piece as there are about 5 or 6 different kinds that I used. However, I really enjoyed the process of incorporating them into the design and working on something a bit different.
