Takadox is probably my favourite Barraki, so I thought I’d take a break from drawing Vezok and give the mantis some time to shine. Probably spent 2 - 3 hours on this over the course of two days; quite a lot of that time was spent putting it through various filters and cleaning bits up.
This is meant to be a fully organic interpretation, so the lack of any robotic bits is intentional.
This drawing is legitimately terrifying. All those hairs/spikes both evoke their original ABS plastic inspirations and do a very good job of screaming “stay away”. I’m a bit sad to see Takodox’s distinctive brow be forgotten in favor of the more xenomorph-esque head, but still, fantastic work all around.
@legomaster1378 Woops! I meant 2 - 3 hours, I’ll fix that now!
And thanks! Come to think of it I could have given him a bit more of a brow; I’ll admit I wasn’t actually looking at the set when drawing this, it was just done from what stood out from my memory of Takadox. The main thing I was focusing on with the head is capturing that creepy smirk.
I might come back to this one another time, but next I really want to give Krika a shot.
