04 Incorporate real-world references
At this point we should check in with reality. In order for the monster to look realistic, we need to be very specific in copying nature. Every aspect of our groom should have a visual reference. Imagination is very powerful, but to bring imagined things into reality, it has to be constructed of properties we immediately recognise and understand. The monster will be a combination of elements from the bear, orangutan, elephant, Tibetan mastiff, alligator, human and chimpanzee. Sounds crazy, but it will all make sense.
