finals!

rational

For my creature I wanted to do something alone and sad, living in the fire nation. I came up with this old man who has shunned society and wanders around on the desert alone, using slabs of rock for shelter and cacti for food. Over time the rock and cacti have become a part of him as he carries it around on his back. His quarry makes him seem severely weary. The markings on him are based off aboriginal face paintings, seeing as he lives in the desert I thought that would make a nice touch, and are painted in the colour of desert insects and lizards, dull greens and sharp reds. His mandibles are designed to be able to munch through the spiny cacti and also happen to look like a beard, adding to the old man motif. He is a recluse and loner, living out his life in seclusion, away from all the turmoil of the other natons.

Them cheeky aboriginee

These here are the colours and patterns i was looking at for the creature. He lives in the desert but he's an albino so I'm kind of liking the white with red highlights, only in the pattern of an aboriginal face painting.

Trying to muscle me out is he!?

These are some of the images I've been using to get the anatomy design down. It's a mix of human insect and dinosaur pieces, the human to make the creature relatable, the insect to stick with the whole insect theme, and the dinosaur to give the bone structure some reinforcement. Oh and the camel toe (which was more difficult to find than you'd think) because it wanders around in the desert, so the Recluse' foot is heavily based off that. 

What big insecty things you have!

A HEAD OF THE REST! BAHA!

Face me like a man!

So i tried warping the face out a bit, trying to make it a bit less anatomically correct but still humanoid and i came this saggy dragged down look as though the mandibles on his face are literally pulling his face out of shape.

Oh god, look at that mans beard!

some beard concepts of an insectoid nature. tell me what you think.
