The Verdant Woodcutter
It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything large with insects, but I had this cool idea and when I saw the “Crimson Haruspex” by @mysnaileatspizza1 I knew I had to build this.
It’s based on a mantis and takes a lot of inspiration from the Pokémon Scyther and had the idea of axe blades before seeing Kleavor. On a side note, I think Kleavor is really poorly designed as it doesn’t have wrists, a cool detail on the Woodcutter, you can see it’s fingers above it’s blades. The idea is the blades grow out of their arms as they mature.
This was quite a challenging build as I wanted to get as much detail as possible into such a small build. The head is a remaster of my Plague Mech Stinger from waaaay back, it was nice getting to reuse the design (once I fixed and improved it).
The background is “forest concept” by TylerEdlinArt and is taken from their DeviantArt.
