Thinking about the Klade, as I do, finally tried to sketch some ideas and get a rough handle on their armor...Ā
Not quite vibing with it, close and gonna keep fiddling, leaning on a more Killer Moth-meets-Kamen Rider energy with Father Timeās descriptions of insectoid retro tech and ācockroach gas masksā in matte black. Slight touches of the Dalek illustrations (sadly uncredited) from Doctor Who and the Daleks Omnibus, a big source of lore for Parkinās Dalek and Klade bits.Ā
(Comparing a cockroach to wasps and/or hornets is, yāknow, silly, but I wonder if you could play with the idea that the Kladeās insectoid design comes from other evolutionary ladder rungs between them and the Daleks, and maybe the Mutant Phase and its insect mutants was part of, or could be, a more natural process...)
