ContaminANT was born in a toxic landfill soup of discarded biochemicals, used diapers and partially depleted uranium. From a television at a security station it learned of a beautiful place called 'Yellowstone National Park' and now it wants to experience life beyond the landfill. But with government agents hot on the trail, ContaminANT will have to learn to adapt in order to make it there alive.

edit:
Added enlarged images- they appear a bit fuzzy, but I hope it's worth it.
For some reason the first thing that popped in my mind when reading "alien insect" is one of those monsters in japanese super sentai shows for kids. (you know, power ranger stuff)

60x60 with 12 colours total
I've reused my purple/blue transition from my previous space invader (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/JellyFish.gif) entry, since it makes for a groovy alien color scheme. (Well, atleast I think so :P)
A mantis. I made it in a hurry and the pose is rather boring, but well:

It's Crikey Cricket. Poor guy, no matter how hard he tries, nothing ever seems to go his way. Not even his spiffy suit and tie helps.

Last minute entry...maybe a bit too last minute ;)
So ever wondered what those pesky little bugs look like that seem to eat your computer from the inside?
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/Misj_SJ_090812_Bug.png)
Line-art & Sketching: Painter X
Colouring: Photoshop CS3
Size: 224x202
Flat-Colours: 7 (plus black) the layer of the static glow has the same yellow and red from the bug, but at different transparencies.
Shadings and glows were done using effects-layers in photoshop (and I didn't count them in the colours); should this be considered a breach of the rules please look at the non-shaded image below.
Some additional images:

Lineart Original Flats No Shading No Lines
EDIT:
I've added this sketch of a little baby-bug. Because that's where it all started (both for the bug, and for the drawing). It's a girl ;D

Ps. I like the big, black, alien-like eyes on my bugs.
Pps. And considering the way my computer currently behaves, I wouldn't be surprised if bugs really ate microchips.
Alrighty!
Nice to see a good amount of entries, and very nice ones at that!
To select the next host I generated a random number, which fell on EdLoen.
(In case Ed can't host I did a backup generation which fell on FruitTree, so I hope he can step in if need be).
Nice round!
Congrats Ed!
A win by rando-gen, hahah, ok =).
Thank you, and great entries everyone =) Now to come up with a good topic....
