Emergency!



One of my very favorite movies is M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. It still scares me every time I watch it. Since this week's Illustration Friday topic is "Emergency", I decided that an absolutely frightening situation would be appropriate. The alien invasion just slightly beat out my nightmare of being chased by velociraptors (which I have had repeatedly since I was about nine years old.) I used the house from Signs and even put Bo on the swingset. She doesn't even see the aliens attacking!

Busy, busy week, but I'm finally going home tomorrow! Hopefully I will be able to post fun things from PA.

Have a great Thursday!

  16. Amazing illusion of depth even while utilizing an abstract perspective on the house and swingset. textures are juicy and the colors are sweet. I really love this one, the tilt, the fence lead-in...your illustrations on fantastic. Definitely bookmarked!

  17. Thanks everybody! Wow, I'm really not used to people actually looking at my stuff - the comments are much appreciated!

    Ry - I do use photoshop for everything that I do digitally (which has been all of my most recent work). I have a few sets of custom brushes from friends that help with texture and I tend to use lots of layers. Thanks for asking!

    I do believe her dA goes by the name of BabyEmber. But also, I'm not sure if it's the genuine Brittney Lee or someone who draws in a similar style. Sorry if I confuse you, and once again sorry of this is incorrect.
