Artist's Comments

Finally finished.
The legs are in bronze,the exoskeleton is in stainless steel.
My best reference photo was by Igor Siwanowicz,a fellow deviant artist...(better known as Blepharopsis)
[link]
Diameter 7.5 inches.
And yes ,it is true that this is NOT an insect but a crustacean.
It bears an uncanny resemblance to the newly discovered bathynomus giganteuse (18 " long marine crustacean found in 2000 ft. depth)...
Not to be confused with a SOW BUG which has two short stickery "tails" and does not roll up into a tight ball like the PILL BUG or armadillidium vulgareous.

"It's an ugly planet. It's a bug planet!" -Starship Troopers...actually, this is beautiful, like medieval armor...the hammerhead is a little disturbing...do we really want to cross sharks with these things? And...just me needing sleep, I think...I kept looking at this wondering why it was in a glass...then realised...no glass. This is my brain NOT on drugs...it looks so peaceful curled like that...I'd love to see a larger one...articulated...hanging on the wall in my Father's nursing home...

...on second thought- not my best idea...

seriously. it IS beautiful.

Very cool.

I feel a desire for a palm sized one that's articulated, to play with....


:giggle: And why can't you make something I don't like for once? :giggle:

We called them rolly pollies when I was a kid, then I moved to a place that called them pill bugs, then another place that called them potato bugs, lol. This is beautiful, I love it.
