Great stuff Cara. I'm really liking the weirdness of these and can feel the uncanny familiarity we get with them. I think when it comes down to which one we want to push forward next, we really have to look at how you want these creatures to function in your IP.
I like the feeling in 4 and 5 in that they feel more mystical but could also be kind of scary. The long arms in 5 give it more dexterity and I can see having some dynamic action scenes of our heroes being chased by it if this was a movie. Whereas with 4, the danger I'm guessing is coming from the stinger on the tail? I feel like this design works better as a solo creature that you might find in a forest or something rather than in an army coming from a cauldron...
3 feels like it is more in the "evil direction" and I like that.
1 is a really interesting concept and I think that idea of the giant mouth works for the "cauldron born" brief. It's something that gives this kind of mindlessness to the creature. Perhaps something we could try experimenting with next.
2 definitely is weird. If we go with this one, it could be cool to see it in this kind of goofy pose but then also have a really scary exorcist animation pose to it as well. Could work really well.
If you have some stuff from your other classes that can help me get a better picture of your overall IP, we can discuss together next class.

Keep it up :)
Thank you so much! I'll update with some of my other class work soon. :)
