The Lichen have Eyes

Description

These are brief sketches I did for Fictionist's "Create a Monster Contest." The idea was that in their ever mutating environment various fungus and lichen developed eyes. They use these assets as a way to track food easier through their collapsing forest. When a living or fallen creature is spotted the fungus use their tap roots to follow a potential source of food and then leach on the food source.
I was going for a very subtle monster and have always felt that the forest has a good sense of what is going on. Hopefully Fictionist can use these in her very own way. If my final draft of these fungi is not completed, this will be my final entry.
