Insectoids! xD

Insectoids, 2 week Uni assignment!

I really enjoy working on character design which makes this exciting for me xD.

First I created a mood board about insects...
Yea... xD
It helped me figure out the approach I can take with human like insect forms.

Insects parts of the body are fundamentally  different in the way their bodies join together.
This means that to make the Insectoid character
I need to look how to change the human body connects.

For the first part of the design I want to find a form I would like to work to the end.

Here everything is rough... I just want to get the proportions of the character down and create an
interesting silhouette.

Each sketch took about 30 seconds... pretty much doodling xD...

Kinda run out of space on the previous canvas xD so I moved on to the next one...

On the first one I already had some good Ideas with context... but I still wanted to explore more.

Out of the initial Ideas I picked out 3 that I liked the most :D

I blocked in their shape so I can just work around it to create a gray-scale painting..

I will pick out 1 of them and add colour to it as well as orthographic views of front side and back.

I decided to develop the one on the left as my final character design.
