I love the hands. The two, inner, digits (the fingers) are forward and narrower set than the, splayed thumbs behind.

I'm not sure if I've seen that before. I think it works really well and the artist seems to have given some thought to the anatomy.

I also like the mandibles (mouth fingers, whatever) they look like they could grab prey or are derived from an ancestor that used them to capture small prey.

Of course, when you have hands that can wield weapons then who needs mouth fingers?

Have you see his Grunts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJHghuDaqpQ

They look quite like arthropods, the 4 "crab" eyes are a nice touch. Even though I prefer my Grunts cuter, I can still appreciate what he has done.

I like my Grunts: cute, likeable, and a pleasure to kill ;-)

After killing every last Grunt in the room, just b4 moving on, I'd say, "Pleasure doing business with you gentlemen. See you this time tomorrow". I actually like Grunts, fighting them was always fun.
