The Warslug

This is another entry for the biweekly contest at the theme this time: Heavy as hell.

At first I wanted to make a conventional vehicle with wheels or caterpillar treads, but then an unusual chain of association started to happen. it was something like this:

Heavy as hell....hm...big....big is bulky.....bulky is....slow....slow things...turtles are slow...snails are slow......slugs hmmm slow....big slugs.......big alien slugs......no....big heavy as hell alien WARSLUGS!!! *mad evil cackles*

So that was the birth of this paintings idea. I just inserted some alien insect race to squash, so the warslug had something to do....


Time taken: around 15 hours
Software used: PS and Painter
WIP: [link]

edit:
Since so many commented on the name Warslug. Yes, it actually is a warsnail, but let´s face it: Warslug just sounds cooler. And in comparison: The Death Star would not be a star either. More like a moon or planetoid, asteroid or whatever. The Death Moon? Death Planetoid? Just doesn´t have a cool ring to it...
