Robotic Bug : Illustration friday

Had this in the graphics locker for a while, project I never finished properly as I couldn’t work out what sort of environment that I wanted to put him in. Also needs a bit more texture work. He was originally a creature concept for a computer game that I worked on for a couple of months. Mental block…….
In the mean time a frightening fact, there are a quintillion insects populating the planet. Which means that roughly speaking there are 1700 million billion insects for each human.

We’re going to kill ourselves off with nuclear weapons, and intelligent life will evolve from cockroaches. True story. I swear.

P.S. In the U.S.A., I think it’s well over 99%.
