Insect Design.

Insect Design.

I was given the task of creating a insect creature. I started by gathering images from google and making a mood-board with them. From those images I then sketched some key parts of the insects. Then from those sketches I created three conceptual insect character designs. I picked my favorite one and created a blue print model sheet in Photoshop. After this I then painted the final design using Photoshop.

This insect can grow up to one foot in length. It uses its wings to draw in its pray as they have a hypnotizing affect. once its pray is close it fly's down and stings it using its large stinger. the stinger has a poison that courses the victim to be paralyzed. then a large, long and thin needle like peek protrudes from between its pincers on its face which it uses to drain the victim of there blood. It also has two scythe like arms that it uses to defend itself against larger pray.

Im happy with this drawing but I feel its a but to dark. to fix this I would use the dodge tool on the face. this will draw the viewers eyes to the face. I would also slightly lover the opacity on the wings so there not so vibrant.
