Bungisngis

A Filipino mythological creature that can be described as a giggling cyclopes. Bungisngis comes from the word “ngisi” which means “to giggle”.

The concept of this design is also from finding the word “bungi” in Bungisngis. “Bungi” is what you call someone who has teeth missing in Filipino. From there I figured it’d be a more interesting design if my Bungisngis had a false eye made from a gap in its grin, rather than a real eye.
