MANTIS - WIP

Hey everyone!!
Wanted to share some work in progress of a character I’ve been developing recently.

These are some shots of the high-res sculpt after retopology and baking, adding finer details before texturing. I'm really happy with how the sculpt is coming along so far, and I hope you like it too!!

A little bit about the character: I wanted to create a humanoid mutant inspired by Praying Mantises, more specifically the Devil’s Flower Mantis. I find these insects incredibly fascinating, I love how they look both elegant and vicious at the same time. That contrast is what really inspired this character!! My goal was to evoke a sense of beauty and royalty, while still feeling powerful and deadly.
