Hello all, been a while since last posted here.
This is a bug character being developed for a local company (a pots and pans factory), which happens to be named Cricket and wanted a matching mascot.
All renders, Blender internal, mostly test renders, hence the low AA and GI sampling.

He is cute and very expressive. But, he doesn’t look much like the Crickets I know. He looks more like a Beetle. the main thing that sets Crickets apart from other bugs are the hind legs. But, hey if this is what the company wants, more power to you.
I like the final shot (Bottom right corner), he looks like he is in love with the pan. LOL
You’re right, it does look more like a Beetle. Solutions started by being strictly crickets and then evolved into more loose depictions of an insect. This is a school project inline with the company contest, and some of my friend’s solutions are so simbolic that you hardly see a bug at all 
Well in my case the back legs were a trade-off between “cricketness” and “humaness”… And in the end the robot solution proved most practical.
Same, but larger pics (excuse the poor AA and AO).
