"2005 - Tanau" by Kent Christian Jensen

SF&F Picture 8 out of 38 by Kent Christian Jensen


	The tanausian mega insect can reach a body wheight of 6 ton, they are massive herbivorous creatures that lives in herds which helps them protect themselves against the bigger predators of their homeworld. I designed it after a spider and the behind is inspired by a grashopper (didn't think it would turn out so elephant like)

20 Jun 2006	Anne Wipf	Loading... A grasshopper ? How did you obtain this result ? Very nice drawing, nevertheless. Kent Christian Jensen replies: "well its only the behind/tail part thats more or less perfectly identical to some grashopper "tails" behinds, whatever its called hehe. And about how I obtained this result, let me explain. First I saw a picture (closeup) of some giant spiders "face", which inspired me to try and make some giant insect monster, then while sketching I found reference material of other insects and one little grashopper had some nice details I fittet into the sketch especially its behind. SO after a while this creature emerged. and viola! A giant insect monster of coolness.Anyway! im very glad you like it and thnx alot for your comment."
2 Oct 2006	Dragonlover	Loading... it has 2 mouths! i would like 2 mouths because I'm always hungry...
28 Jan 2007	Graydon Hayes	Loading... Although normally large mammals have always been my favourite, lately giant insect-like creatures have captured my imagination. I love the way it has Half Claw-legs at the front obviously inspired by the grasshopper. Gret Picture!
