This character was first based on the ecosystem of undergrowth; where there is moss and dirt and strange coloured mold. The time period that influenced this design is the late 60`s/early 70`s, specifically the Woodstock festival. These elements are shown in the flared pants, vest, and fringe details. The character moved to a commune in the forest during this time period and then never left - they became part of the mossy landscape itself.
