For a long time now, I’ve been trying to develop a species for my Self MOC, Sorano.

I already knew the other organisms of the species would follow a similar body pattern (biomechanical mesh, thin and tall proportions) but I couldn’t find a head design I liked (they aren’t all faceless ).
I then took inspiration from an old Knight’s Kingdom shoulder pad, and developed this:

The “horns” and crest would change from person to person, but the face would be nearly identical in detail.
This was the most important development for me, but I also made a couple bootleg sketches of a full Shintori and what the hand looks like :

These are all concepts, and will change a bit over time, but I just felt like I should post them here.
That’s about it. Critique is always welcome.
