No not really, but ive done a lot of illustration work, matte work for commercial animatics and some comics...I currently work as a graphic designer, but I always wanted to do concept art.

Im on lack of sleep, excessive coffee and two daughters who always force me to be imaginative...anything else falls under the fifth amendment [;)]

My pleasure sir, it was fun to do! Sorry about the hybridization aspect, maybe on the next go around!

<r> Hey Webbco- here is my take on your concept- hope this image fits in with what you envisioned- great idea man!<br/>

Webbco- the only escape would be firepower, and good engines- the best tactic would be to patrol a suspected are with at least two craft, if one were to be caught, the other could engage from a distance to shatter the webs, kill of the spiders, or retrieve the doomed ship's log bouy...

<t> Webbco- no base per se, just loiter amongst debris fields, perhaps their eggs are carried along with cosmic winds, or from supernova blasts (riding the shockwave). I see them more as local hazards as opposed to any great baddies-my assumption would be they inhabit hollowed out asteroids, a sort ...

Thanks man, glad to be amongst you!

Please note, this is my original artwork. Thanks for any and all comments!
