Finished character design commission! There's a bit of an interesting development of thi character so join me for a designing journey!
I was contacted to redesign an insectoid character, the commissioner didn't have a particular idea planned but gave me full freedom to work with whatever I wanted.
Here are some of the reference files I got:

(by Daf - on Twitter)
I decided I wanted to take the character through 3 different concept lines: a more bug/sci-fi route, a draconic route and a "furry" route. Here's what I came up with.

The commissioner decided on the draconic style with a few tweaks. So afterwards it was time for colors!
I wanted to keep a similar palette to previous pictures of the character which ranged in the black/grey/purple colors. So here was a first draft


Hopefully you found some of the description interesting, but this is basically what goes on when I design characters!
