I think you're still in the process of figuring out the designs, so I hope it's not too late for me to comment that, your Great One design is beautiful, but not in a "Bloodborne" kind of way. The design looks like something I'd find in a nature setting (seeing you've referenced mantises and really colorful orchids). Maybe that can work out if you twist it in such a way to be dark and cryptic.
Great architectural references! Don't forget to compose at a 16:9 ratio!
Thanks. I know what you mean about it having a kind of beauty and grotesqueness, that's actually what I was kind of going for. I think if I play around with the colors right I might be able to give it that bloodborne feel. That was actually kind of my idea. Having a kind of mix of both because I am not used to drawing anything even remotely terrifying so it has a touch of my own style in it.
I am still playing around with the design. Because I don't usually work in this genre I am just looking at other artist's that do and taking notes here and there about what makes a terrifying monster. I wanted my creature to have legs that look almost human, but having four of them and having them be insect like makes it grotesque. I just need to find some more to push it further in that bloodborne direction I think.
