Description
On a whim I decided to update this old concept I did when I was 17. Its like a highly derived dragon that's taken on insectoid qualities. I also really wanted to play with more advanced patterns in creatures, which is something I’ve been having a lot of fun with lately.

My god! This is awesome. I can imagine the noises it makes. A clicking noise followed by some raptor screech. Oh this is great!

I can imagine the knight just turning around and walking away, thinking "Nope, not today!"

Have you ever seen any of the Startroopers films? Your Hydralisk reminds me a great deal of one of the shock troop-type enemies, with the split mandibles, and hooked legs. Amazing rendition on the legs and face!

The first Starship Troopers is one of my favorite movies. Its like a perfect film.

Your friend Trey the Explainer was even talking about it in his video about aliens.

already answered you, but I thought the book's adaption might be of some interest to you. ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzPEp… ) Sorry for the low quality youtube link, but I was unable to find anything in a better quality.

Jesus Fuck would you look at all that detail!
Its like a bug adapting to be a dinosaur...

And the next scene has the knight simply running for his life saying "Nope. Nope. Nope." over and over.

I love the stance of the knight off to the side. I can only imagine him thinking "FUCK" when faced with this fearsome horror a few feet from him xD

I hope there are smaller, tamed versions of these creatures.

Terrifying. I would not want to come across one in reality.

Oooh. I like the markings, Particularly on the face. It looks like it'd be one of many that hide in an impossibly large brambley plant

That would be really cool if it hung out in plants with thorns everywhere actually. I may draw that some day. This is part of a gathering of creature designs I want to build up into a world building book at some point.

Do it! World building books are the dream. And it'd make an amazing page spread.

...I would not like to meet that at night....
Seriously though, awesome design!
