Insectoids

Next for a character design is an Insectoid. I've only had meager experience doing anything insect like so therefore this once a again another design to become familiar with.

Insects typically have a carapace or some form of a crapace that is chitinous in nature. It is designed to protect but at the same time is usually ridged, with small plates of armour overlapping each other so as to not make movement difficult.

My first few sketches, the insectoid seemed a bit too humanoid so i decided to adjust some of the limbs.

 The waist area is thinner and so too is the area connecting the thighs to the pelvis. Additionally the torso has more depths and is heavily plated.

 The creature moves with some degree of agility to effectively traverse the canyon like regions they reside. Additionally their amour is relatively thick but strangely lightweight. Genetic manipulation can be thanked for many of these features as a result of tampering with the species.
