I did this as a commission for a cd cover, but without any instructions, I could decide what to paint (it just should fit to the title "Invasion" and should be with aliens). I didn't have to sell exclusive rights to them, so this could also still be used as a cover for a science-fiction book or something else (except cd-covers, of course).
This was a lot of fun, because I wanted to do some more alien landscapes for a long time (but didn't have the time and inspiration to do that).
Acrylics on canvas, 41 cm x 55 cm
Edit: I added some details: a plant in the shadow on the left and a skull and bone behind the leg of the creature in the foreground. I think now it's better.
Wow, nice work!! I love the intruiging creatures, mushroom trees, moons, the golden spaceship, and the purple death laser. I wonder who's piloting the spaceship, and why they are invading- they could be humans, for all we know...
Looks cool, now what an awesome commission that would have been "paint what you want, get money for it and re-sell it if you like"...a deal dosn't get sweeter than that awesome and scary looking creatures, and nice lighting and colours too - makes it look like one of those really old-style alien world depictions
