The Hive

Originally done as a background for a picture I was working on, I found the background took away from the subject rather than enhancing and adding to it - plus this just didn't seem to fit with the subject at all (A great example of my drawing getting away from me). Still, I did like it and decided to post it as a separate thing. Those little guys in the back (I call them xenobugs) are really just curious guys that munch on bioluminescent mushrooms that grow in their hives, which makes them glow pretty brightly and transfers to their eggs as well. 

I was watching Let's Plays of Alien: Isolation while I was drawing this. I'm pretty sure that's to blame for this.
