And the meek shall inherit...

So I entered the 'Creature of the Week' challenge over at conceptart.org, and it turned out to be more of a challenge than I thought.   Design a Bipedal Insectiod; no gear, no extras, no eye candy of any sort.  Just a straight up specimen of the species.  Simple enough, no?   Well..perhaps not.  You'd be surprised how much little extras like clothing, gear, etc add to a character or creature's overall design.  Not to mention, insects are probably the most diverse species on the planet.  Then there's the maddening array of colors to consider...oy!   I decided to base my concept on existing specimens, but without simply patching various parts together.  It needed to look like something that maybe could actually occur somewhere, somehow.  Anyways...coming to a picnic near you...
