Ooooh... that first one is a lot more organic than I'm used to seeing from you... fits well within the ZW series! It's a really menacing design, though! I would love to have a model of the insect, though. There are still so few bugs and fliers in the line, and your design looks sleek and deadly.

Is the top one supposed to be a squid, while the bottom one a wasp? I suppose it could be some sort of jellyfish, but I feel that the segmented joints evokes more of the looks of a Kraken. I love your use of highlights/shading. I'll have to look at that while trying to shade/highlight. I love the top one, and how he has an almost War of the Worlds kind of look. But I feel that it needs a lot of long-range weaponry.
Tactically speaking, it looks like it could be a carrier Zoid, with a Hrimfaxi-like array of missile launchers and retractable missile and AAA batteries, as well as VOTL Zoid launchers.
Do you have access to a digital art program like Photoshop? I've found that working with Zoids is a lot easier if you can alter/refine the design in progress (on the same canvas). I can't help but picture a version of the wasp as a sort of gunship, similar to the Hammer Head from the New Century Zoids era. I think that the missile launchers would look better with gunship-style ordinance racks/pods mounted on the sides of the abdomen, while in the place of the stinger would be a Death Stinger-style cannon, with a stinger-like bayonette mounted under the tip of the barrel.
Of course, adding additional features is a PITA if you can only use pen, ink, & paper, and there comes a time when it is time to call a design finished.

Thanks. I'm using Paintshop to work some details, and mke try to choose the colours, but most of the work is on paper, with ink. But that doesn't mean I couldn't be able to add something to the drawing. I alreadu did that in the past. The first one is a jellyfish. It is an animal I saw on a tv show, but impossible to find a photo of it. I understand what you are saying for the wasp, but adding big guns on the side would have make it thicker, it is not really fitting for a wasp. And don't forget my designs are always OER, so not always full with guns everywhere like some NJR.
