Description Along with my depiction of Sniper ([link] ) which i did during my days of reading nearly all of Neal Asher's novels back to back, i felt like visualizing one of the nastiest alien races in sci-fi.

The Prador are essentially big bad space crabs with spider like attributes that enjoy the taste of human flesh(preferably rotten). Here is what i see being a Prador 1st Child. Having many stages in life before becoming a full adult, these 3 meter wide beasties are often leading their much smaller siblings into battle, usually carrying 2-4 guns at a time.

This is brilliant. I'm a Neal Asher fan myself and this is just how I pictured the Prador. Hope you do more stuff like this 'cos this is great. Any chance you've done a picture of Dragon? For the life of me I can't really picture what he looks like.

I'm personally hoping for Jay Hoop/the Skinner in all his mutated glory and/or Sable Keech's undead cyborg form.

Only just discovered Neal Asher but I'm absolutely loving his work so far. A picture of Jebel Krong would be cool, preferaly stiking a gecko mine to a Prador carapace.

Ah, the Prador... such delightfully nasty bad-guy aliens! Psychopatic warlike cannibal space crabs who like to eat humans, and blow up really good with shaped-charge limpet mines.

Or a well placed APW

I was thinking the next depiction of a Prador would be an adult eating one of its kin.
