Close Encounters

A concept illustration of an alien creature I did for fun and exercise.
I started it in Painter and finished the texturing and coloring in Photoshop.
The symmetry tool in Painter 12 is real fun to start a drawing.
I do these kind of paintings rather intuitively and let the drawing lead me the way.
While I am drawing and painting I start to fantasize on how and where this creature lives.
Perhaps he lives in a deep murky ocean on a faraway world, and communicates with light and ultrasound, who knows...

The initial underpainting was done in Painter 12 using the symmetry tool with the dull conté, oil pastel and scratch tool.

I did this painting in Painter XII in approx 75 minutes.
I did not go into deep detail, just trying to establish a nice atmosphere.
