Description
A very unique commission request, the client wanted a robot carrying a girl like in those old 1950s sci-fi movie posters. After a lot of head-scratching, I came up with a bio-organic creature wading through a swamp. Using photo reference for this lovely captive, I swapped out the dude and put in this metallic green alien with the classic one-eyed look. To make it feel suspenseful and frame the characters, I decided to increase the shadows and only bits and pieces of nature around them illuminated by the searchlight above them. A combination of yellow-greens was all it took for the bog, but I opted to use black copic to achieve a better blend rather than use a gallon of Micron ink. With white gel I managed to give the skin of the girl some shine, in particular the bicep and forearm furthest away from the alien's torso. Overall, my first veture into an original alien creation was successful and a huge confidence booster. Etched on 9 x 12 Canson, of course.
