Thormundar - Lisandra

"One of the last faeries of Thormundar, Lisandra committed a grave sin against her people a long time ago. Now, she lives her days hiding away in a small, sleepy village as a toymaker.
As a race of shapeshifters, no one has a good idea of the fae's true forms, but they have preferred forms; one of them having been dubbed by others as a "'war-form'", always insectoid and bristling with powerful muscles, organic weaponry, and a rock-hard carapace."
A character that I've always wanted to design, but have been putting off for a long time; I based the design of Lisandra's war-form on modern Japanese monster sculpture designs. The shell iridescence was fun to do; making use of hue/saturation layers over a black and white base.
