The Clot's third ranked member of the Six highest ranked undead, Carmen's design has changed a lot as her personality has developed over time.
Carmen is a foil to Janus and as such she’s devoted to a fault to the cult, going so far as to maim herself to better fit in and win the affections of its leader. Paired with her brash bravado and a bite to follow up her bark she's a formidable member of the clots upper echelon.
Design Developments
I tried to take the same visiual design elements from Janus's outfit yet give her a different energy to herself.
Her boon is based off of viper dogfish jaws, with some boa constrictor and goose tongue added in for good measure. A change from her original eel based mouth. You can watch the horror short below to see it in action.
V1.0 - The first draft of her design from 2020. I didn't have much of her figured out at this point outside of her role and boon's location in her mouth. This version leaned a bit too 70s.
V 1.5 - A design from 2021, not much thought about her personality had been added since the initial design. I was playing around with what her mouth may look like inside and how to fit it all in there.
Animation Including Carmen
Those in the Clot often make do with what flesh and blood they can get their hands on, those who have risen to join the Six have access to meals second only to their leader. It’s only natural that with time, freedom, and bodily changes each has found their own particular favored taste and texture to fulfill their diets. Among them, Carmen has become known for her hands-on approach to consuming fresh meat, occasionally going as far as to tear into partially prepared corpses. Her jaws shaped to snap onto flesh biting away the mouthfuls. Even if some in the Six find her method a bit crude and messy, there’s no denying that her solution proves itself useful.
