This is part of the Butterflycity illustration series. It depicts the scene when the Crawlers decide to build their own queen as a response to the Butterflies' Queen arrival. However, something goes wrong, the crawlers engineers don’t do the right calculations and the creature-machine-building comes out as a hybrid zoomorphic creation that would turn out the butterflycity world into a realm even more complex than it already was.
While working on it, I got a bit inspired on two main aesthetic references: the style of painted illustrations done by Simon Bisley (a comic book artist I was a fan of when being a little kid) and also by the machine-like creatures called Zerg from a game I used to play quite often back a decade ago: Starcraft, eventhough I always found back then that the graphics for such an awesome game were a bit weak. Well, nowadays cg technology allows us to do much more complex renderings and visual creations, as the one you see here. Hope you people like it.

This is not a set of separate illustrations, it's actually the same large illustration shown by parts (details) I selected. The original piece is meant to be enjoyed not only as a whole, but also part by part, that's why I took so much time to work out every single detail of this massive rendering.Because of copyright reasons I won't post any larger version of the full poster, but you can find out more about this project at http://paretti.cgsociety.org/gallery/
