were-insect spider concept
I have the ideas of werebeast people for a long time, and I got some time to work on my idea of were-insect spider. this concept of human transform into creature hybrids always fascinates me, how to maintain the human behavior while mixing in animalistic living habits.
by utilizing texture xyz and detail normal map i was able to create fairly detail texture for the humanoid body. and using refraction, opacity and height maps, the spider silk clothes was able to achive a organic look to it without dense polygons.
when startled or enraged, the mandible would unfold, intimidating her enemies like a beast bearing fangs.
can't judge a spider by her cover.
the mandibles can fold into her mouth, to have a less intimidating appearances, the concept of diplomacy and civilized manner should still show through her behavior.
using clothes to show the level of human intellect even though she has went through transformation.
the silk should maintain a feel of translucency and jelly like opacity. since spider silk is more glue like rather than fiber.
even though she is a spider centaur for now, she still can utilize her human shape language to seduce prey, or friend.
