I'm the artist that came up with the concept drawing. The perspective has one leg in front of the other. They came to me in the beginning of working other this and told me just to come up with something cool. And yes, they told me to watch from Minority Report. Oh and the eyes? Oh well, didn't think we needed thousands of eyes, or 8 eyes, or whatever a spider has. ]]>May 4th 2008 1:43PM
