This peice was inspired by the only nightmare ive had in a long time, a rather weird one actually, i dreamt this particular "bug" along with its tiny offspring devoured half of my left hand. I woke up only to find my left hand was sore, hence the reason this peice was inspired. Weird huh?
I drew this entirely with my wacom graphire 3 Tablet, aparantly it doesnt look like i did.
Love the detailing in its legs. It'd be great if you could give the shell that amount of detail too, more cracks and evidence of rubbing where the plates meet. At the moment it looks a little like he's covered himself in bits of log or something. The lines on the shell are currently what gives it away as being tabletwork.
I can imagine a swarm of these getting along really well in a prehistoric jungle. I can imagine the kinds of sounds it'd make too.
heheh expect more of this particular bug in future... i need a name for it though, and i need to create a picture of what made it spawn into my hand, some weird purple plant lol
