Character reference sketch for a humanoid insectoid creature - in Dungeons and Dragons, this most closely resembles Thri-Kreen. The central figure is a full body pose of a tall character leaning on a longbow. They have long limbs which are insectoid at the joints and extremities, and a short pair of extra arms midway down their torso. The character is wearing a scarf and a small loincloth/belt with thigh holsters attached to it that have pouches affixed. The character is posed in a way that looks like they're waving. Their neck is long and their head is small and bug like, with large insectile jaws. There is a small rough silhouette sketch of them in profile to one side with the hood of their scarf pulled forward, covering their head to look more birdlike. There is also a sketch of their face which is labelled like an anatomical diagram, that clearly shows a design somewhere between a mantis and a tiger beetle. The labels are: "emotive sensory wigglers" to the antenna. "Lightless vacuum" to the compound eyes. "Wiggly mouth hands" to the maxillae. "Nightmare fuel" to the mandibles, which is apt given what tiger beetles look like close up.
A bust of a red and green insectoid character with large purple compound eyes. They are wearing a crow feather scarf and the enormous glossy beak of their headpiece is visible over their shoulder as it rests against their back. Behind them the blurry outlines of mushrooms are visible against the background. There are also very small mushrooms visible on the character's outline too.
Apparently I'm posting lots of #charactercreation art here! This is Vulture, a tiger beetle inspired #thrikreen #ranger #druid #circleofspores undertaker I made for a #dnd5e one shot. I love a creepy bug critter!
