SciFi and Fantasy Art *New* Cray Huntsman by Nicholas William Kole

This will kick off the latest series of Mieville inspired work that I'm uploading. China Mieville is truly a genius...half-lobster. half-man...the cray were always the most fascinating race from The Scar for me. The old pic of the Cray simply wasn't good enough at all: A race so cool deserves a better illustration. It's the same character from that amazing intro in 'The Scar': 'At the edges of the shelves of rock where cold, light water gives way to a creeping darkness, a he-cray scrambles. He sees prey, clicks and rattles deep in his throat, while he slips the hood from his hunting squid and releases it. It bolts from him, diving for the shoal of fat mackerel that boil and reform like a cloud twenty feet above. Its foot-long tentacles open and whip closed again. The squid returns to its master, dragging a dying fish, and the school reknits behind it.' -China Mieville, 'The Scar'
