Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy : Mantis

Mantis design I did for GotG. Fun projet to work on !
I tried to incorporate Praying mantis symbolism : Shoulder armor are based on the insect eyes, and her chest details are similar to a real praying mantis head. Her fighting stance, using her arm blades, also mimic a real praying mantis. Her long black braids also ressemble a mantis' antennas.

You can see the final 3d model here :
