Brief:

In this new topic, you are going to explore the world of The Mad Hatter. Take the idea of who he is and do a redesign of him in a scifi setting. Of course, you do not need to place him in a world at all, but imagine how he would look, instead of what you initially think of when you read his name.

The Guidelines:

    Must be Human
    Must be Male
    Must have his trademark top hat, which you may also redesign to fit the scifi setting, but KEEP the playing card on his hat!
    Genre is Scifi

Topic

COW #332 Intellect Devourer

Brief

Dungeons and Dragons has it's fair share of weird and wonderful beasties. Some are what you'd normally expect from a fantasy game, such as dragons, griffins, mermaid, etc; while others were just a hard hit to left field. One of those oddball creatures, which we will be focusing on for this topic, is the Intellect Devourer. The Intellect Devourer is basically a brain with legs, sometimes depicted with a canine-like body. As for what it does, it is a parasitic creature. Capable of changing it's size, it will take over it's host and consume the brain (hence it's name), then it will assume the form of it's victim, animating the body to do it's deeds. Your task is to design this brainy creature.

Round Requirements

-must have a resemblance to a brain

-typically a quadruped

-it eats BRAAIIINS!

Concept Description: this creature expands it's body segments to conform to the head of its host wile locking into place with small protrusions located along its body and legs. His mouth tendrils access the victims brain through the eyes, mouth, ears and nose to control and consume the host's brain.

The gunsmith merchant

Brief:

Long ago the world fell apart from a catastrophe which nearly annihilated humanity. The world is now recovering but the damage is very severe. In this broken world, there are no more laws other than common morality among the survivors. Some live in peace, some live to cause chaos and some just want to make money. There is a gun smith who carries almost any kind of gun you would need, even make shift ones. If you want to protect your self, then he is the guy you would visit.

This is a post-apocalyptic world, so you will need to design him accordingly. However, it is not specified how the world ended, so that is up to you.

The Guidelines:

    Must be Human (if you do mutations, don't do anything that would make him/her unidentifiable as human.)
    Can be male or female.
    Must have injuries from the disaster, old or new.
    The genre is Post-Apocalyptic.
