The first project of the year was a 4-week learning photo bashing skill. It was to make an Insectile Armoured Character and after I got the topic down I immediately search for pretty insects.
The first insect I have an idea of was a spider but because of its many limbs, I'm not sure how to operate that in to human so I skipped it and go to my second favorite insect. Flower mantis.

First Moodboard: Insect - Mantis
The idea behind this design is to make a Techwear/Cyber ish character with limbs based on a mantis
Process
I choose the picture from the example in the brief. I wanted the character to be feminine.
After choosing I immediately start tracing on the person to get the correct proportion and get the basic pose down.
The iteration designs were not as many as the tribe project but only to get the main point of the design down. I really like the design on the top left but then I got comments from tutors on how some of the deisgn can not stand up properly.
so I draw a straight line through all of them and choose the one with the most balance on it.
Final Design
from just a human with mantis limbs, it slowly becomes a full-on monster girl. I do like the idea a lot and want to commit to it so the sketch above becomes my final design for the insect human! The entire design is to resemble a flower mantis with a colourful Colour scheme that contrasts with the scary body model.
