I've set myself an 'Alphabet Challenge' for 2018.
Each week I will move through the alphabet and make a piece of art related to whichever letter I have reached. It might be a tv show, film, character or vehicle - whatever pops into my head.
Moving along we've now reached 'O' and I wanted to go classic with something a little obscure to see if anyone would get it and the Ovions from the original Battlestar just sprang to mind.
We had some good guesses and ideas this week but no-one got the right answer.
These creatures were mining Tylium for those with the cubits but also had a nasty tendency to capture people who came to their planet and let their young eat them as they grew from their larval state into full grown insectoids.
I wasn't happy with some of the brown tones I used to start so I just went over them with the darker greys and added some layers and they came out much better. As I had other more complex projects to do at this time, which you'll see some of next week, I didn't spend as much time on this one so it's not my best work either.
Done with polychromos pencils and built up in layers, utilising my pressure application and layering techniques, the picture consists of 19 colours.
The Ovion queen's carapace was done with white, ivory, dark sepia, nougat, brown ochre (dark), cinnamon, Venetian red, black and cold grey 5.
Her eye was done with white, ivory, light yellow glaze and zinc yellow.
Her clothes were done with white, ivory, cinnamon, Venetian red, black, cold grey 5 and burnt umber.
Her mesh was done with white, ivory, brown ochre (dark), cinnamon, Venetian red, black
Her chair was done with ivory, nougat, cinnamon and burnt umber.
The Ovion servitor was done with brown ochre (dark), black, cold grey 4 and warm grey 6.
It's mesh was done with dark sepia, nougat and cold grey 5.
The bowl of food was done with ivory, raw umber, Payne's grey, sanguine and warm grey 6.
The background cloth was done with white, ivory, dark sepia and bistre.

Completion time: 10 hours 19 minutes.
