Social Anxietyby *ZestyDoesThings

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Conceptual

“The Social Anxiety monster spends most of it life underground or in secluded sheltered areas, away from human contact. Because of this their skin appears pale and anemic apart from hard plates that serve as as a means of defense.

They will shy away from all contact, even from a fellow monster making them elusive and rarely seen. They are from the same biological family as Anxiety and Paranoia but due to their extreme way of life they have evolved to look quite different.”

This is a special monster design, based on my own experiences with social anxiety. There are a lot of design choices to this monster that reflect me and my own difficulties.

Your monsters are so distinct but all drawn in such a way that they very much seem part of the same universe and belonging with one another. Perhaps it's the color palette on this one, but it reminds me of a pangolin, which I love so much. So I imagine this curling up into a little ball and hiding in a corner of the room, out of sight...but with it's tail still being incredibly visible (even if unnoticed).

Thank you so much

Well, it was based on an armadillo but I think a pangolin is actually more accurate. (ive never heard of them before!) But they curling up into a ball thing is totally what I was going for! Im so glad you were able to read into the design

I love the bit about the tail being so visible!!!

And here I thought I was just going out on a limb with my thought process. It's cool that I ended up being pretty close to what you were going for design-wise. Another excellent job Zesty!

Well I think youve done more than just come close, and you've given me some great ideas to further the design. ( I have a secret)
For something special I have planned in the near future I will be redesigning to monsters a little, and I really want to add some more pangolin influences because I think they are so much more lovely than aramdillos...
Anyway... I didnt say that.. shhh

You're so awesome Zesty!

But don't worry, it's a secret to everyone.

Oh you didn't have to go and draw me....What? That isn't me? Oh well the likeness is unbelievable. I live in a basement apartment which for me makes your description is more true.

I really like the color palette you chose. This monster really seems like it could just fade into the background so easily, which is exactly what it should do. Great work as usual =]
