This concept was a fun experiment in building a character from 'parts'. I started off with creating abstract shapes, rendering them out, applying textures etc. I ended up with about six random elements, then on a new image combined them all in various ways, blended them together by liquifying them, distorting, and finally painting over them. Done entirely in Photoshop.
I love how odd the silhouette appears.. it works nicely. The head of the creature seems to shares the color scheme of the thorax of a cockroach. Very cool.
