Very very neat work. Actually, that looks exactly like the kind of things Kerberos Productions' lead writer Arinn Dembo probably would like. She's probably the biggest proponent of lovecraftian beasties into their games ^^;

A very nice pieces in anyways : )
By the way, I hope the Lasik gives you great results. I've had family suggesting I do this some times into the future someday so I can perfectly relate to the "curse of glasses dependence" sometimes. My own father also had to get a similar operation because of cataracts recently an now he only wishes he'd known sooner he suffered from such so that he could have underwent the operation sooner thanks to the difference in vision(it was done one eye at a time so he was startled to be able to actually -see- the different between treated and untreated eyes at the same time).

Really cool creature design. The mandibles mouth is pretty funky cool
