Do the inflatable bladders help with the jumping and or landing process?

probably not, they're meant as display/vocalization features only

For sure! I really like how you combined traits of most terran speciesΒ

I still hope the creature looks as its own thing, even though the jumping legs look very suggestive

Oh yes! The different traits are mixed together really well to form a totally new, astonishing creature

thank you! I'll try to keep the pace up
as weird as it may sound, the things on he end of its tail are the ears. (don't ask. XD let's say that they just felt like they belong there, looked weird everywhere else. besides, it is easier to hear things that are trying to sneak up from behind... 
the mouth is the bulge behind the tentacle arms, the jaws open sideways and each of them looks a bit like lamprey's mouth, except the tooth layout and shape is different, and each of the jaws/mouths has a separate esophagus. Imagine there is a sternum-like bone running along the underside of the whole front half of the animal, it connects to the ramming bulge in the front and ends behind the median legs. It'll make more sense when I complete a diagram of the basic internal anatomy, but that'll take a while.

Srtange. I was thinking of a creature that would be like rhinoceros-grashopper hybrid and wanted to call it Ramhopper. Y U rob my ideas XD
I really like it.

Hey, I'm just kidding.

what's stopping you from turning your idea into reality? I am sure your interpretation would be something distinct and unique!
I will maybe even change the name of this creature, I feel it's too suggestive, this is just a placeholder name as fas as i am concerned... XD

What's stopping me... well.. to be honest it's amount of ideas/sketches/projects I have to draw/develop. Even though during the last year I've drawn more then ever before there is still a LOT to do.
