Brainsucker Bust - Bloodborne (Stitch Ver.)

Version 1 of 2 for my brainsucker bust, version 2 found here with a large tentacle instead of a stitch towards the back of the head. Comes in 2 sizes and is pre-supported.

Credit to the Bloodborne character artist team over at Fromsoft for the design, Charro Zuck for the pre-supporting, photography, printing, and overall support, and Zullie the Witch for getting me interested in this character in the first place.

Lore:

The Great Ones are Lovecraftian, multi-dimensional beings beyond the comprehension of man. 

They are god-like beings, so far beyond the capability of human thought that even trying to comprehend them beyond the shallowest levels of human thought would drive even the sanest men to sheer insanity. 

When the corpse of the Great One Kos, or Kosm, was discovered on the shores of a small fishing town, it was teeming with parasites unlike any found in humans. Invertebrates, or phantasms, had been proven to be able to commune with the Great Ones and channel cosmic energy, but these were different. These were directly connected to a Great One, seeping it's life force. What was it's connection to it? What was it eating? Did they exist across the planes of existence as well? What would it do to the human mind? Could it be the next step to ascending to a greater level of existence? 

Perhaps these questions were the driving force to implant a phantasm in the minds of Yharnam's least fortunate, those who looked to the Healing Church and the Choir for aid.

 Found sparsely around Yharnam and the ruins beneath it, the brainsucker seems to feed by attacking other humans and taking their insight, their knowledge of the beyond. It could be true that after the parasite completely took over the mind of it's host, it started controlling it by pure instinct to search for whatever sustenance it found in the body of a great one, in order to survive. It could also be true that the mind of the host is still intact, working symbiotically with the phantasm, feeding it in return for the ability to understand the knowledge it steals. Or, perhaps, it's goals with it are simply beyond human understanding. 

Whatever the case, what it takes from you, you aren't getting back.

This model was pretty difficult for me, as it was my first real experience with organic sculpting, and required a lot of revisions. 

Good luck printing, hope you guys enjoy.
