For something in the out of the ordinary file we have the Jinmenju.
Jinmenju (人面樹, Jinmenju) is a strange tree with human
faced fruits called jinmenshi, human-faced child. The tree is said to be
found in remote valleys from the south of Japan and China.
The fruit of the tree looks like
a human head. It doesn’t say a word, but it is constantly laughing. It
is said that if the fruit laughs too heartily, it falls from the tree. Most people think of yokai as some kind of monster, but the Jinmenju is a
type of yokai called choshizen, or super-nature, which includes
mysterious plants and animals.
when I was searching for images of what this tree was all about, I came across this one -
While I suppose hearing constant laughing while you're walking alone in a dark forest can be creepy, looking at the model from CMON's Rsing Sun miniature game gave it a horror face more like the girl from the Grudge -
So I sort of split the difference and used the red fruit color for the horror face. Two layers of foam, some Sculpt A Mold, and static grass, and this was a quick build and paint up. Thanks for looking.
