Hey guys!!! Just started another assignment at uni and thought id start a thread to document the experience and
hopefully gain some good feedback from all the artists here on polycount

PREMISE:
Humans are invading an alien planet, the aliens are insect like in there appearance and resemble Praying Mantis'/Scorpians. They are not hive based, they are individual, however they do work as a team to some extent to kill the invading human army.
They are as intelligent as insects, so your basic survival skills, collect food, find shelter, defend shelter etc.

This character will be modelled for use in a game engine (Gamebryo in this case) however it will also be used in a short film (based on the humans invading the planet), as such the art director of the short film (who is also a student) will be in charge of where this character goes however as it is my own assignment i do have quite a bit more say in its appearance than i would if i were working for a client. (Complicated senario, be interesting to see how it works out haha)

Now if you've managed to get through all that I just thought id upload some ref images so you guys know what direction im gonna start with, then ill begin uploading silhouete sketches too. (I will also post the art directors comments should i recieve any) Maybe you guys can help me persuade him if you disagree with some of the decisions ;)
