BA1a Insect Bodies

Creating insect body silhouettes was interesting. Knowing that insects only have three body segments, six legs and can be pretty much any shape otherwise was interesting. I wanted to create something imposing, the sharp edged form suggests aggressive characteristics.

This first silhouette looked a little too ant-like, form not strong enough.

I liked the assertive qualities this form suggests, being that is it quite aerodynamically shaped. This would make the insect more maneuverable at high velocities.

Over-paint of the previous silhouette, I kept the same exo-skeleton style as used in the leg designs. I feel like this design lacks depth and interest.
