Description
Not sure how to feel about this redesign, on one hand it is a more solid and remakeable outline and sillhouette, on the other hand I think I lost some of the concept from the last time I drew her, particularly a lack of focus on leg power in exchange for pudginess.
Old design had a smaller torso and longer legs and arms, there's something importantly distinct in that that I forgot and started from ground up. She looked more agile and athletic, good strong legs.
This one feels like if she got older and heavier.
Funnily enough I always thought of making an original subspecies of the Raths that had even more distinct sexual dimorphism to the point the rathian is like flightless like a Tigrex or Diablos or Espinas but more manuverable like it can rake its tail across a larger distance like a broom, and maybe shoot out a greater range of quills.
Generally make that subspecies supremely more terrifying.
So yeah I think this won't be the last Rathian x Arcee design I attempt, but she does look nice enough, Im definitely keeping the barbarian armor design with minimal regression to the older design.
But I should give her open toes, the wing blades on the calves, maybe also the hip quills... tail is better here, and so is the fur around the neck, not sure on the shoulder armor.
In general having less complex parts in this makes her more natural feeling.
Though this being Transformers the parts are probably supposed to be a bit complex.
