Fan Casting Four-Legged Insect

Role added by connieblackwood on September 2, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Four-Legged Insect:

One convention animators made with insect characters was to draw them with only four legs, not the six legs they characteristically have. For example, the insect's front legs are hands and its hind legs are feet. One of the main reasons is that four legs are easier to animate than six legs and Law of Conservation of Detail comes into play. Another reason is that in a world of four-limbed mammals including humans, you'll want something for the audience to relate to in your characters and insects with their several limbs have a tendency to squick people out so you'll give them four limbs or instead double up some limbs so at least they function as quadripeds or bipeds.
