Description
A predator the very top of the galactic food-chain...I let myself imagine what kind of senses and powers this species hold, but if I put them down into words I fear it might spoil the mystery.
Photoshop, approx 13 hours... I guess. A simple form baptized in brush-generated textures set this one off.
Grrr...

Top of the food chain? It looks like a lobster. I'll eat it.

They will become a threatened species as soon as humans discover it.

I guess I don't really like the creature, as much as its seen 'ower'. That and bugs are fairly resillient, so thus yes I can see one of them taking on a insectlike form. Nice rendition, good style and coloring. :3

Aw, I kinda like the idea of it being really small and having hordes of them. Trained predators, attack! ♥

I must say that the lightings are pretty amazing. really I like them; I'm just not too fond of the shades being all blueish, I don't know why though..
I just, well I like shades to be completely black when it comes to monsters and beasts, don't know why... I simply do; or anyway that's what I am blaming for my not-liking-the blue, then agian, maybe black would be too harsh for the type of lighting you are setting. anyway
great job I must say

Interesting opinion... completely black shadows only almost exist in space where there is nothing to reflect the light. But I understand your reaction. Before I started painting seriously myself I shared the same opinion. Now I like colours to much to use black extensively. In this specific painting I think the blues adds an extra-terrestial touch that I enjoy. Thank you, Mischx!

Awsome design. How big is this guy supposed to be, if he's at the top?

Thank you LordDraco3. Size is never an issue. (almost never...). But he's not short enough for 'shorty'...
How about twice the size of a horse?

Ahh, okay then. You impressionistic style (at least, that's what it reminds me of) made me think for a little while about the light around his mouth. I thought...maybe a nebular or star was being devourered?
But that resolves that issue, lol. I suppose something is getting microwaved to death by some kind of energy blast, then?

WOAH. That is really cool looking!
I love the design, and the little tiny details with the textures really pull it together. Wow.
