UPDATE#01 //refboard and general ideation (01-09/06)
General idea: evil monkey shrine, a mix of the god statues with multiple faces and the 3 wise monkeys (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil).
I imagine the statue being somewhere in the middle of nowhere on a snowy mountain next to a small path, the same way you'd come those small towers of stacked rocks that indicate you're following the right path. Imagine being a traveler and you run into a 3 headed monkey shrine that has an evil vibe over it. (seems like a fun idea for a dnd session too, you run into a 3 headed monkey statue that asks poisoned riddles). I want the statue to have offerings, prayer flags dangling in the wind, and the idol to be adorned with necklaces (made of bones and trickets) and such.
Main material should be course stone, extra materials for offering etc should be rope, wood, bone, clay etc, no metal.
I still have exams at this point so i took breaks during studying to think about this concept, i went through a few ideas, most of them involved monkey shrines, but in the end this one came out on top. I feel like i am slightly running behind where i'd want to be but we'll just make up for that as soon as exams finish.
