An aggressive predatory forest dweller, the Bushwhacker makes up for its small size through patience and lightning fast reflexes.

Moving slowly along vines and creepers, the alien sneaks up on prey, and then stabs deep inside using its proboscis. This injects a dose of venom and is then retracted, so that the rows of cheek teeth can grip prey while the small mouth consumes the victim.

The Bushwhacker has also been observed to hang in dense foliage and attack land living creatures in a similar fashion as they pass underneath.

This was done first as a pencil sketch before being painted in Photoshop. Used standard brushes.

Hope you enjoy
