Description
Some alien arthropod for Creature of the Week. I ripped off the design from a Discovery Channel alien lifeforms special that aired many years ago.This is a pretty old picture, done before I got into digital art.

I was about to ask if this was inspired by "Anatomy of an Alien" until I read the artist's comment. Damn, I wish that would come out on D.V.D.
As for the actual drawing, I love what you've done with the jaws. Were they inspired by some real insect?

Yeah, that was a great program.
The jaws weren't inspired by anything in particular.
Thanks for the comments!

It looks like some sort of hypertrophied Hallucigenia descendant.

That's a fascinating theory.
Thanks for the comment!

I taped this show back in the day but i can't seem to find the official DVD for it. I wish I could find it.

Yeah, I loved that show. Must have watched my own taped copy of it two dozen times! Good luck finding the DVD.

Didn't they call it the "Sputnik Bug" on the show?

...That kinda rings a bell, but I really don't remember.
The bug without the spines was called the "Splatter Bug," though. I remember that.

I remember that show! Anatomy of an Alien, right?

Yes, indeed. I loved that show! My love for the show doesn't excuse me from ripping it off, though. I should have come up with my own idea, or at least changed this idea sufficiently. I mean, I even made it the same color as the bug from the show!

I used to do that, too. Don't feel too bad.
