The Emeraude Locust

[BlackboltJohnson]

This is the 5th (and possibly final, I'm not sure) addition to this series I'm working on.  The premise is simple: how many cool looking MOCs can I create using only 2 colors: black and trans green. All of their names will feature the French word "Emeraude", which means emerald.

 

The Emeraude Locust isn't the biggest, or the strongest, or the fastest member of the group. But he's probably the toughest and most tenacious.  His species is really difficult to classify, because he is partly bio-mechanical, partly insectoid, and even has some features commonly found in plants.  For example, is that a nose sticking out of his face, or just a thorn?  Wait, is that even a face at all?  It's hard to be sure.

 

We do know that the protrusions from his back aren't wings in the classical sense.  They're more like the fronds of a fern, except they're razor sharp and nearly indestructible.  He can't fly extremely well with them, but they work great for amplifying his super leaping ability.  They're also great for gliding, and can be wrapped around him to provide a jacket of impenetrable armor.

 

When the chips are down, and there doesn't seem to be much hope left, just be thankful if the Locust is on your side.  Because he can turn the tide of battle through sheer will alone, even when it seems like there's no chance of victory.

Great design as usual. Loving the hands with Bohrok eyes and the wings with skeletal chestplate. It reminds me of this year's elemental creatures, due to its - relatively - small size, compared to the other emeraude creations, at least.

Well I do like the colour scheme you've been using, it's an excellent model.

Those feet look a bit unstable though, I'd change them.
