I don't know, i'm not really a very qualified concept artist, but i like to thumbnail/block in shapes for the mood, style, and personality of a character or creature. Then i rationalize it.
Starting with materials and properties and details of how clothing is fitted just seems like work to me. Starting with 'THIS IS BADASS' and then figuring out how the hell it works is a lot more natural and fun, form my perspective. Obviously i keep a general idea of what i'm going for, and maybe look up some rough references before i start working, but i don't really get into detail or logistics until i already have an idea of what i'm working on. Sometimes this means radically altering it because there's just no way to make it fit in the world i want, but it still ends up feeling a lot more organic than when i bury myself under technical details and try to make something cool out of it.
I like to imagine the war preceding the locust thing, between humans, was in fact some kind of a cold war built on an arms race for the manliest weapons in the world.

I assumed it was more of a genocide where they wiped out anyone without a soulpatch.
