I love this! I'm Siryl from Tumblr, by the way. It is a mixture of stock monster parts. There's the eyes of a spider, the radula of a mollusc, the suckers of a leech, the teeth of some vertebrate predator, and some kind iguana or fish crest. But for some reason it really stands out from its monster crowd. Instead of looking like a cut-and-paste job it seems oddly believable, and very striking. I think a lot of it comes down to the attention to detail. The fishy-reptilian texture and other little anatomical features make it seem like I'm looking at a real creature I could almost touch. It also fills the frame in an interesting way, and the almost photographic quality of the swamp adds to the scene's eerie realism.
I'm wondering if this is part of some alien ecosystem you've worked out. I ought to browse your gallery. I also wonder, what is that thing where the two sets of teeth meet? Is it a sense organ? Is it based on something from a real animal's head? Is it supposed to suggest a clitoris to go with the creature's vulva-like mouth?

I really wanted to make as phallic/vulvic a creature as I could. Along with scary teeth, and the premise was that it was some kind of predatory leech/lamprey.
So the sense organ was supposed to be reminiscent of both a sphincter and a clit at the same time, passed off as some kind of sense organ. This is pretty much a one-off, so it doesnt really have an entire ecosystem to fit into, just that it is alien and could survive on earth if it had to. I'm really into making creatures as believable as I possibly can, basing them in reality.
Thanks for such an in-depth analysis!
