Starship troopers style bug aliens

Related to a recent Reddit post and comments in it, I think it would be neat to have an alternative sprite/model for a biter/spitter which is modelled after/exactly like the Arachnids from Starship Troopers.
The main bug things would be the biters, and some variant of that could be the spitter style enemies.
These art assets would then be made into a mod which creates a few new "Unit" entities using the new artwork, and then overrides the types of enemies spawned at the spawners. The mod could be made as an additional enemy or can override the vanilla biters.
Are there any artists around here interested in doing this? Would need spritesheets for idle, running, and attacking. I assume there are already many Arachnid bug models out there on the internet that could be popped into Blender or whatever and some spritesheets produced fairly quickly.
