Insect Head WIP

So, I recently got Umarak, and with him my first shadow trap. I built the shadow trap, and saw that the mouth looked kinda insect-like, and I started tinkering with it. An hour and a hornless Umarak later, I came up with this.


Front. Oh, and don’t mind the stand, just a way to pose it.

Side. I used the horns to make “eyebrows” of sorts, to add character.

Other side.

See what I mean about the mouth being insect-like? Also, the skrall armor on the bottom makes a perfect holding place for the bottom jaw.

Yeesh. In person, reminds me of something from A Bugs Life. Dunno why.

And the connection, which is just a socket.

So, what should I do with this? Here are my current ideas:
1: An ant like figure, with multiple legs.

2: An upright figure, like Randall from Monster’s Inc. (lotta movie references here…)

3: Give up

Awesome.
And mildly terrifying.

You make that seem like a bad thing. I’ve never seen that creature… did you make it?

I don’t mean that it’s a bad thing or anything like that.

Suuuurrreeee you haven’t…
Just kidding, don’t take that seriously.

No, it was a moc made by @Darknova3529

Yeah, I kinda worded it as if I had. I don’t usually look at mocs all that much, I only see other people’s mocs when I post my own.
ANYWAYS, any ideas on the body for this… thing?

It looks really cool! But it looks more like some kind of horned demon than an insect. I know of no insects that have an upper and lower jaw like that.

Here’s his head without the horns. I definitely see the demon side of it. Maybe with Umarak’s dark red spikes as horns.

Without the horns, it looks like a deep-sea monstrosity. With them, it looks significantly more insect-y, and I rather like it.

Actually, I can see that.
@Novel you should try making an angler fish or something, (Now that I think of it maybe I’ll make an Angler fish)

I definitely see that with the curvature of the inika shoulder armor.
I added some spikes and a visorak foot, maybe it could be a dragon?



If I was gonna make a fish out of it, I would go with a piranha. The mouth is more like a piranha’s than any other fish, and the inika shoulder HUGELY improves on that look.

I think it looks a bit more goblin shark-like, given how its jaw seems to jut out when it opens its mouth

Holy jesus on blue lightning kush that is freaky

This monstrosity, as well as several others, is why I refuse to go into any water deeper than the public pool.

Dude, you have no idea. Even in pools, when I see that blue haze in water where you can’t see past, I get freaked out to the point of leaving the water. Irrational fears are so fun. Anyways, it’s kinda off-topic.

Maybe I should make a piranha. If I get a creature or a beast, maybe I can make a whole school. Or maybe bricklink them once they get cheaper.

It looks kinda like a dragon head. I like it.

The original, or the one I tried to make look like a dragon head?

Both, but I like the original’s horns more.
