This was inspired by a drawing done for

[link]

The artwork for this is impressive, it gave me an idea to draw a Tyranid-like Sentinel Carnivore from the game Warhammer. This monster is a Sentinel Carnivore combined with the DNA of a Tyranid.

Like a Tyranid, this beast also has six limbs - four arms and a pair of wings instead of legs. His head armour forms the typical carapace on a Tyranid's back. His main pair of arms have enormous sabre-like stabbing blades, and he fires a Sentinel beam. He has backward pointing serrations on his wings, so when he brushes past vehicles and soldiers, it causes bloody injuries and damage.

Tyrannis flies at high speed across the battlefield close to the ground, inflicting horrific injuries to enemy forces. His presence invokes maximum fear and terror, demoralising enemy troops. He is also named Black Terror, due to the dark colouring of his battle armour.

I forced the perspective of Tyrannis in this drawing, so the back of his body would look smaller and his hideous front end seems closer to the screen lol.

Update as of 8/6/09... WTF???? NOOOOOO!!!! The image looks utterly TERRIBLE!!! WHY is it so horribly pixellated at this size??!!! This is a godawful way to display art - ESPECIALLY LINE ART NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
