I love Avalon Vales

Here you go! My full bug Kai design!

Tw: mild body horror

Honestly this was so fun! I tried a few different things, like bug body part or extra stuff like a tail (that I didn’t keep).

I leaned more towards the centipede concept, with markings of where the transformation would have continued. I saw some nice interpretations making him more like a moth, but I didn’t like it for my design.

I still wanted to combine him with a more "positive" insect, so I chose a firefly (pretty fitting). The parts around his wrists and ankles can glow whenever he wants to, it's not that different from when he uses his powers (I've read that fireflies glow sometimes to show that they are not tasty, to attract certain prey, and for mating purposes. The first two fit with the Land of Monsters, and the last one gave me the fun idea of Kai glowing when he feels flustered).

My final design has the full body insect and the firefly characteristics. Also I hc that his mind is intact even if he looks like this.
