Photoshop - Insectoid


For this two week assignment we have to design and create a concept for an insectoid character and then produce the result in the form of a character design sheet similar too what a 3D model artist would be given with a front, side and 3/4 view. Below are a bunch of my initial idea sketches none of which are to any degree of high standard due to the fact they are just quick sketches to find pleasing forms.



I then took a few aspects from some photo references I found and tried to create a character from them. However I found the centipede like bottom half to be too much of a common theme and hence discarded it, I did however like the idea of horns on the head similar to the beetle. And the idea of an series of eye like patterns such as moths and butterflies have. 






Environment - Forest caves
Size - Human form (5ft 11) with Insect legs (6ft 1)
Role - Mystic for tribe
Aspects
-Long second set of legs for increased field of view, stabilizing
-Wings for flight also used to attract mates, colours of wings seen as attractive
-Carapace over chest act as natural armour
-Stinger, as a weapon, as a light(fireflies)
