Description
Something from my sketchbook I decided to color. He is holding a charm that is styled to look like the head of a flying insect like creature that has long eyestalks. It's meant for good luck, he's trying to sell it to you.Related content

His head strongly resembles that of the Sangheili from Halo, tbh. Did you base his head off of them?

No, they were inspired by spiders. I noticed the resemblance in this piece as well, and have updated them since then.

Can you show me the updated version, pls?

Forgive my shortness but I am very tired and it's not that hard to look through my gallery, I don't appreciate feeling like I have to provide evidence to you about whether or not my art is different enough from something you think it looks like. There is a resemblance because there are four major mandibles in view, but beyond that I'm not going to argue with you about why you think it looks the way it does.

Sorry. I just really like your art. It's not that I am wanting evidence, and I didn't mean to offend you.

I understand.
I still like this alien's design a lot though, and I think the Sangheili-ish head really suits him.

I suppose you could go for a penguin-like stub tail. Butt breathers? XD They're even more arthropoid than I thought!

I am still modifying them, but I like the idea of a penguin tail, seems so cute xD

Wow...simply wow. I love all the little details, it lends him so much character! One does not need to be told what he is or what his character is, all one needs to do is look at him to see who he is. That's what makes our artwork stand out against the crowd is the characterization and storytelling you put into your works.

Thank you so much! It makes me really happy to hear that!

I love the little details! It lends so much character! You don't need to read his character, you just have to see it which really makes this character driven piece stand out. It's beautiful! ^3^

Thank you! Doing full blown lineless work takes too long, and I really like sketchier looking art too, so I figured I'd start drawing MORE instead of spending forever on one picture.

Okay cool i can just imagine meeting one of theese guys from the earlier pic they seem a tad aggressive are they bigger or smaller than the gapuri?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are about 1.2 meters at the shoulder, about 1.6 at the head. Give or take depending on the individual. It's hard to compare them to the Gapuri for size reference.
