Default Re: Inuk, Land of Ice and Spirits

I've run into a bit of a problem.

The Kajutaijuq, a new national summon, was going to be introduced tonight.

In-game description: The Kajutaijuq is a massive female spirit with an enormous head resting upon two stumpy legs ending in three splayed toes. Thunder strikes wherever she walks and she takes great pleasure in devouring lone Inuk and other unsuspecting victims. Her presence is said to be indicated by streaks of bad luck, strange sounds in the night and broken tools.

Info:
50 hp
Size 4
Ethereal
Undead
Trampler
Amphibious
Stealthy +20
Assassin
Incurs 5 unrest a turn
Only has a head and foot slot

Notes:
Flavour! Intended to be a mid-to-high level summon for assassinations and thuggery. The lack of slots should prevent her from reaching true SC status. I'm thinking maybe the HP is too high for an assassin because it basically dooms any human-sized or low-damage commander to die - does anyone have any feedback on what else they'd like to see added?



Now for the problem - I can't make a good sprite for this darn thing. There are no good 'large head' sprites in the game - the Colossal Head is the closest thing, and I've spent hours trying to get it to look good with everything from titan feet to Shambler legs. I'm still not confident enough to make a sprite from scratch, so I'm turning to you guys for some help.

Could I possibly get some advice on A) where to find a big head for spriting purposes? Or, if someone feels so inclined, B) if somebody could maybe knock up a sprite for me to use in the mod. I hate to scrounge off you guys but I love the story behind this unit and I don't want such a cool concept to go to waste
