Description
An aggressively predatory forest dweller, the Bushwhacker makes up for its small size through patience and lightning fast reflexes.Moving slowly along vines and creepers, the alien sneaks up on prey, and then stabs deep inside using its proboscis. This injects a dose of venom and is then retracted, so that the rows of cheek teeth can grip prey while the small mouth consumes the victim.
The Bushwacker has also been observed to hang in dense foliage and attack land living creatures in a similar fashion as they pass underneath.
This was done first as a pencil sketch before being painted in photoshop.

not only is the concept out of this world but you easily manage to render it in such a realistic atmosphere, that blows me away.... every single deviation of yours is priceless

This is one of the creepiest creature designs I've ever seen. Something about it coming from above... most people don't look up too often. And the stabbing proboscis.

I like this one better than the one with the background tbh. It has more mystery to it. You have an amazing gallery and an octopusobsession. I love it.. Well done

This one reminds me of the "Paramites", from Abeยดs Oddissey ( from Oddworld ), remember? THey have some wicked creatures like this one, very spidey like.
The saliva line there was a GREAT idea, man!
Keep up the great work!

Hmmm...
Looks like deja-vu... But where! Oh yess!!
Those creepy things in Half-Life 2!! They hang from ceilings and they let these long sticky tongues and wait 'til something stick to it and they suck you up to their mouth!!!
I really like it! And yes,''it would be one heck of a scary planet to go and explore...'' BUT with a flamethrower, it just might be one heck of a bloody fun!!!!
