Bookish Creatures

The film I am working on has asked they crew to try and create some creatures that are inspired by books. And by that I mean the actual shapes of books. 

So I decided to try and create a snake like creature and took inspiration from a Cobra and a Venus Fly Trap and used open books to get the shape. The directors also wanted a creature based off an Arthropleura, which is a prehistoric centipede. I struggled a bit with this one because I couldn't find a way to make the books work with the body of the creature as it didn't really capture a centipede body. So I tried another one and decided to do a mixture of the first draft of the centipede and the cobra creature, and I'm much happier with it.
