I was recently inspired by a very talented young man Teyon, who is also a mod for the Hexagon forum here! I have been sketching this beast over the last week. I want to do an animation, too big to post here (Plus I want sound!). The concept is ala Starship Troopers, marines fighting a bug race, on their home planet, the top of the sketch shows the main critter, in front of a hive dome. This bug would be at least 4 stories tall, and could take out a grav-tank with one of those long claws. If it were a creature in a video game, it would be a "Boss". Yes I know, this is a ROUGH sketch, it was never meant to share, nor do I consider it art on it's own, but if you ever wondered (Yeah right) how I come up with some of the strange things I create, well they all start with rough sketches like this. Here you can see my thought process, things scratched out, variations.... I was inspired by Teyon's wonderful work, hopefully this will motivate me to take this project all the way. Hope everyone is having a great long weekend!! ; )
