Before any sketches, I did a bit of research on insect parts to get a better feel of what I could do. For most of it, what I recognised is that most have quite similar eyes/eye shape. Though dynamic as they come.
After that, I went on thinking what kind of character I could make. Something regal or common, or something aggressive and dangerous? I wanted to create something based on their shapes and nature. What I go out of it all was that the insects I studied had certain aspects of themselves that appeared either deadly or defensive. I wanted to make something that was borderline both, and began narrowing down my sketches, combining some aspects.
In the end, I wanted to create a character that was plainly obvious as an insect, with an air of mystery and having something quite sinister looking about them. Having multiple eyes makes them appear to have an adept vision, and multiple small feelers also give that effect of heighten senses.
I also added a small summary describing my character which reads;
This creature preys on those that are barely surviving, guiding them back to their nest by luring them wit empty promises. The Tattered cloth it wears is said to 'apparently' have the ability to transform into misshapen wings. The oversized scythe it carries along with it is rumoured to have come from something that was insanely monstrous, but thankfully extinct.
