The Sting, Industrial Design ballpoint pen concept art

This is an art of mine I did long ago. A design for a pen. University project.
I tried to implement my knowledge in biology, and ergonomics to create this "Giger-ish" ballpoint pen.
I am really proud of this one. At the time I was really into biomechanics and insects.
Strange right? But the insects have the perfect specialization tools.
The insect body evolves to do simple and specific tasks. It is estimated that the class of insects originated on Earth about 480 million years ago. Insects evolved from a group of crustaceans. The first insects were land bound, but about 400 million years ago in the Devonian period one lineage of insects evolved flight, the first animals to do so. The oldest definitive insect fossil, Rhyniognatha hirsti, is estimated to be 407 to 396 million years old. Global climate conditions changed several times during the history of Earth, and along with it the diversity of insects. The Pterygotes (winged insects) underwent a major radiation in the Carboniferous (356 to 299 million years ago) while the Endopterygota (insects that go through different life stages with metamorphosis) underwent another major radiation in the Permian (299 to 252 million years ago).

Most extant orders of insects developed during the Permian period. Many of the early groups became extinct during the mass extinction at the Permo-Triassic boundary, the largest extinction event in the history of the Earth, around 252 million years ago. The survivors of this event evolved in the Triassic (252 to 201 million years ago) to what are essentially the modern insect orders that persist to this day. Most modern insect families appeared in the Jurassic (201 to 145 million years ago).

In an important example of co-evolution, a number of highly successful insect groups — especially the Hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) and Lepidoptera (butterflies) as well as many types of Diptera (flies) and Coleoptera (beetles) — evolved in conjunction with flowering plants during the Cretaceous (145 to 66 million years ago).

Many modern insect genera developed during the Cenozoic that began about 66 million years ago; insects from this period onwards frequently became preserved in amber, often in perfect condition. Such specimens are easily compared with modern species, and most of them are members of extant genera.That's why the tools they've got are just fascinating.
My research was insanely long...
Still remember the eyes of my teacher when he saw my concept and said: You know you need to do a 3d model in solidworks for this pen to finish the semester?
I was like: Okay. And never did it.
However now I've got the skills to do this. and even 3d print it.
Hopefully, I will do this soon.
