Small Mindless Insect-Like Creature # 2 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In Sandman Overture, we discover that there is a distant planet where one of the dominant life forms is a small mindless insect-like creature.

These creatures are not intelligent and they are primarily interested only in laying eggs and food, but they do have a tendency to swarm and when they swarm they are capable of making art or “exploring the solar system.”

This is one of those small minded insect-like creatures.

It is visible in Sandman Overture # 1, on page 1, in panel 3.

This is a great portrait from Max. This creature looks vicious and hungry and more than a little frightening. This portrait is really impressive in person. The line work on the body is exceptional and subtle. I also really like the colors that he used. It feels very organic.
