SciFi and Fantasy Art: Micci-Mickie

Micci-Mickies are odd creatures. They share many characteristics with both arthropods and mammals. They have an exoskeleton, compound eyes, a segmented body, and a very primitive respiratory system, but they also have a primitive backbone and furry legs with internal bones.

They display a degree of higher intelligence through the use of tools, language, and complex, even abstract mathematical concepts. However, their intelligence and thought patterns are so fundamentally alien that communication with 'standard' races is impossible, even through magical means.

"Sir?... There is a Multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder...here, allow me.....!" That's what this reminded me of the instant I saw it! The perfect alien multi-legger! Decidedly NOT what I want to find under my covers-EVER! I gotta do more of those sort of things...my Ralidan's getting old now......The idea of a composite Inner backbone with an exoskeleton falls in well with the evolution of my own Klagosians, they have a sort of Spinal tube to facilitate protection of the Spinal chord.....Cool. Two references to Star Trek on one picture.
I guess I need a little more biology under my belt. I'm just going off what I learned in grade twelve. *decides to take a trip to the library*

*Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, left foot, trip!* Aw dangit!On a semi-related note, does it wear shoes, or gloves?

OH YEAH!!?!? Ya' finkyer 'aaard enough Mista Mick-o Mumbo-Legs?! I'd like to see you figure out how to use...... *fumble fumble*..... THIS!!!! *brandishes random object that just so happens to be an oscilloscope* [Sorry..... just had a Physics exam... I can't help it...] Huy! Can't he just wear mittens? You wear those on your hands don't you?

Meep!A brainy alien centipede!I'd just love to find one of those in my garden 2.

Yah! This is really neat. I love it when people make up original creatures instead of just drawing the typical dragon or gryphon. Which is ok, mind you, but it's great to know that creativity still exists among fantasy artists. I love the feet and hands especially! It is a bit humbling to know that a centipede could probably beat me on an IQ test, I must admit.

Imagining it trying to do the Conga. Reminds me of that millipede in one of those CGI bug movies from a couple O years ago! But, it's different enough too! KUTGW

But it's feet make it look kinda cute too!
11 Apr 2002:-) Rebecca 'Bekki' Marie Kent
You always do such cool coloring jobs. I like the feet/hands on this guy - makes me think of some comedy sketch I saw once that's too bawdy to relate here. Anyways, it's cool. I love his furry little things at the front too, but the third set of legs is my favorite, with the hands and everything. Another satisfied customer.
What goes "thumpthumpthump thumpthumpthump thumpthumpthump thumpthumpthump thumpthumpthump squish?"
A centipede with one soggy shoe.

Wow. That's really creative! I love how you've thought about the physiology of it.
