@Pubes Thanks, I hoped so. I didn't do any exploring I pretty much had one idea and am rolling with it.
@Leo I haven't played with brains in a while so I hope it pays off!
Insectoids are heaps of fun to get creative with - I'm trying to stick to more deep-sea crustacean designs, and the brain bowl comes mostly from the fish with a bioluminescent dome on its head. Deep sea critters are always so alien anyway it's another world in and of itself. I thought putting the emphasis on the brain and not the body would bring attention to intelligent alien life and not just a creature.
Chipped away at some more this morning. Done away with the mantis-prawn pincers in the abdomen and replacing with a batch of eggs. I dabbled with costuming but it was just gimmicky on the form, I couldn't picture them wearing clothes and instead just decorating themselves like decorator crabs, so keeping with the crustacean theme, I'm thinking of doing a living coral wrap-around, something organic.
