Again, glad to see a few more original designs. Entries #42 and 43 look very good and may work for us. Without screwing up the basic style and symmetry, I'd like to see if you can change the bug so it looks less like a hermit crab and more like a weevil. The droopy abdomen and a nose that is also too large and droopy don't work too well. Thanks.
Damien: Your #42 and #66 are clear favorites among the group we got feedback from but we still need a bit of work on the shape of the bug. The smaller nose helps on entry 66 and #42 needs that change, but on both the abdomen needs work. We like the side view profile but would suggest using a shape that is more like a fat almond or a peanut m&m rather than the hermit crab shell type shape you've got. Take a look at the weevil photo in the brief and at some of the more realistic entries that were submitted for a guide. On entry 42 get rid of the eye. On both entries The legs could use a little work. I know you indicated that you could make these types of changes after the contest, but is that an extra cost?
