Description
A scorpiontaur (and the last critter) for theAnkur RPG bestiary !

I haven't really had a chance to draw many insect/arachnid/creepy-crawly critters (we call 'em goggas here in South Africa) so this was a bit of a challenge. Hopefully I didn't commit too many obvious anatomical errors there. While doing visual research I realized scorpions actually have very wimpy legs, so there's some DNA from coconut crabs and jumping spiders (which terrify me) in there, too.

When Christopher requested the scorpionman be wielding a blaster I was freaking overjoyed because I love that stuff but I rarely draw it in a finished way: all that wonderful, comic book, retro sci-fi stuff, we're talking 50's style monsters, rocket ships and such things, so w

Note: he's on a clear BG here because the original is isolated.

I have an art blog for sketches and WIPs, if you are interested in how these things develop.
