I dig it. Reminds me of a creature in Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. A wretched movie, I am by no means recommending it, but it had a very interesting mannequin sequence.

Thanks Bo. I still haven't seen the movie but I did google their mannequin just to know what not to make mine look like. This is a deformed human that tries to look more human by using mannequin parts (but fails). That's the story I made up as I worked on it.

Yeh, different critters, comparable aesthetics. Mannequins are an oft feature motif of the Silent Hill games, and the movie lent some small, speculative context. There was a mannequin monster, which behaved like a spider, capturing humans and freezing them in to mannequins for (presumably) feeding. It also added mannequin parts to itself as functioning appendages. It was freaky, but again, not worth watching that movie for.
