M4 CP - Design Competition (Part 1)

The competition I am entering has little to no restrictions other than size, so coming up with an idea in a sea of options was pretty challenging. At first I thought I wanted to do a portrait-type project, with interesting designs and textures. These were the first few sketches I came up with:

After sketching these, I just wasn't feeling it. It just didn't feel creative or like anything I felt like drawing. I was bored, and it felt like work. So, I decided to just doodle, and as I was doodling I drew a girl with a really long neck.. which eventually turned into a snake body. This gave me a little spark and reminded me of the carnival sideshow posters and exhibits that I've always been so fond of. 

While drawing these I was having fun, which makes me feel like I might be on the right track. I'm going to take inspiration from vintage sideshow posters with the colors, fonts, and image style, but instead of showcasing a single "show" I will be making a collage in an almost "flash tattoo" type of way.
