HEY! If you like this, you can order a portrait from me when my slots open (only 50.00 CAD) note me if you're interested c:I just want to get this out of the way, I don't consider it a compliment when something I created from my imagination "looks just like" someone else's creation. Sorry if that's blunt, I just don't want anyone's toes to get stepped on :>
ANYWAYS! So, I am very, very passionate about alien life forms, creature and character design. World building is possibly my favorite thing of all time. And Ia haven't had the chance to do any world building in a very long time (quite a few years)
Last night I got some inspiration right before bed (of course lol) so I stayed up till 4AM painting this, I am very proud of it, and it felt sooooo good to go back to my roots again.
I'm going to be working on my professional portfolio, and you can certainly expect more things like this c:

I'm not sure what to think of him, he's kind of cute and kind of ugly.. the shading is great.

Likely because it's an alien design, a lot of people find it difficult to get comfortable with things that don't look human-or like an animal from Earth.
Or he's just ugly/cute! XD thank you c:

Ah, I am an alien designer haha, been a long time-but after this I'm never going to stop XD

It's strange enough to be alien, but human enough to be relateable. A very difficult balance to strike.

That's great! I hope to achieve that balance even with the strangest aliens c:
Ah I have this;Β drawwithlaura.tumblr.com/post/β¦
May help a little bit, but beyond that I painted in the markings and set it to Overlay I believe, and then I erased some spots, darkened some others with a saturated orange red to make it look more natural c:
