>>10096920>>10096977Thanks anons. Definitely gonna go for the orchid mantis colours I think.
Also started to work on the head details. Using some beads for the very most basic shapes, specifically the eyes and the "double buns" (which may also be eyes). Obviously I'll be adding more detail with putty, including across the entire figure, this is just to get the basics down. Thinking of going for a blend of Transmetal 2, Kamen Rider and Guyver/Iczer for the overall sculpting style.
One bit I'm not sure on is how to do her mouth. I don't wanna just leave it with the stock mono-lip (I actually never liked that mouth, and I say that as someone who loves Animated Arcee as a design) and I'm torn between giving her a more abstract insect-y mouth or going with something a bit more feminine? Any ideas are welcome.
