Space and Environment Project 2: Secret Lair of an Insectoid Soldier

Today I pulled out of the mysterious blue boxes the words "Insectoid" and "Soldier". I'm very pleased with this combination as there are a lot of possibilities which come to mind pre-research of where I could go with the lair and basic character design as well as its profile. For example concerning the soldier aspect, soldier possibilities range from soldiers of the American Civil War (1861 - 1865) or before, to World War I and II, modern soldiers or even futuristic soldiers. In my research and design process I will avoid thinking generically as much as possible and the insectoid aspect will of course be of much importance to my lair and character designs. The sheer amount of different insect habitats will also play an interesting and vital role in lair design...
