bug dude and chick

Howdy, all...

These guys still need loads of work, but what do you think so far?
Need some (not so gentle) direction...

I like it...the muscular tones could be defined a bit more unless you do not want the male bug to be ripped...

The female bug looks amazing...are you going to animate them? You can even turn those cute looking bugs and turn them into monsters...

this reminds me of "A Bug's Life"...keep up the good work....

Hey, E.A.

Yes, they will be animated. I'm working on morph targets, and will be rigging this weekend. Also trying to decide a better texture. I'm thinking maybe black and red stripe-y exoskeleton part, and the inside lighter color maye translucent pale yellow, where you can faintly see "innards". But no definite plan yet.

The muscle definition is a good idea, should be better tone, but without going bulky. I like that. I'll work some more on that too. Also, I tried adding "ear-holes", you can barely see them in the one shot where they are together. I didn't think it worked, so I ditched it, but I still think there's something missing... any ideas?

Thanks for the muscle tone idea, and good luck posting your images. Don't give up. Can't wait to see them...

A cartoony render. And please, for all of them I would like your opinions and suggestions

Here's a rough idea of the stripe-y black and red I was talking about...
I kinda like it, but maybe the red should be indented slightly?
Any ideas, guys?

Whoops, my bad.
It helps to attach a file...
