This is a photoshop colourisation of a pen & ink drawing I did a couple of years ago of your typical cliche'd 'grey alien'.
I tried to get a subtle irridescent effect n the skin. The background is simple because I couldn't think of anything more complicated that would work too well.

Personal Portfolio Piece.
About eight or nine years ago I had a dream and when I woke up I remembered this 'scene' more vividly than the rest. I don't know 'what' the dream meant. All I remember was that the clowns in strange jet-powered-retro planes were harrasing the two frogs who were pulling the snail (?!).
The next day I sketched this scene out and since the year 2000 it remained as a pencil sketch.
Then just before Chrstmas 2007, I embarked on colourising the sketch in Photoshop. I'm still very much in the early stages of getting my colourisation process clear in my head so this piece was a good learning exercise for me.]]> Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:05:01 +0000 http://bliz.cgsociety.org/gallery/454439

This Alien image is a colouration of a pencil image I finished a few months ago. Most of the colour is flat coloured photoshop layers set to 'multiply'. The highlights are the only opaque bits of brushwork.
This is the first attempt at 'colouring' one of my pencil images that I've been happy with the result. I'm very enthusiastic about treating some of my other pencil images in a similar way.]]> Mon, 22 Jan 2007 15:58:25 +0000 http://bliz.cgsociety.org/gallery/326939

Pencil drawing coloured in Photoshop
A Religious being of unknown religion. The basic inspiration to do a religious alien piece came to me from a painting by Wayne Barlowe entitled 'An Elytracephalid'.' ]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 22:23:27 +0000 http://bliz.cgsociety.org/gallery/326525

This is a 3D version of one of my pencil sketches, the image was created induring 2002. I created the lighting for this before I knew how to light efficiently (and before I got taught the 'spinning light trick'), so I would save a lot of render time if I were to do it again =]- ]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 00:44:56 +0000
