Description
Full-view for details.Created from sketch to finish in Photoshop7
Ive been dying to do a sci-fi monster piece for a long time now and this one has elements that ive been trying to incorporate into a composition for a long time.
I glanced at a few photos of various abandoned factories, camcorders and CDC biohazard suits for accuracy's sake, in addition to several close-up stills of a couple 80's horror movies used to get the expression I wanted for the foreground victim.
Thank you in advance for coming by my gallery - comments are always welcome.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did drawing it.

Well, not that I'm really saying anything new, but I like it, and it IS an excellent piece.
I think the creepiest thing - for me, anyway - is the clear indication that that... THING... Was once Human.

Look I just appreciate you taking the time to even leave a letter!
You dont have to say anything - let alone anything snappy or witty!
I dont know, was he human?
Was he alien?
Both?
Niether... but something worse?
Only the viewer knows this!
I have my own story but I prefer to read the story that others make!
( in my story the creature was indeed human at one point, so our stories are very similiar!)
Thanks for this great comment!

No problem! The thing that made me think he... Or IT... was Human is that the face is actually eerily similar to that of the scientist in the foreground. Especially around the eyes. Was that intentional... ?

Stills are my favourite references, if only because they're more dynamic and you can always use the frames before and after to catch the movement you need, which you've done beautifully here.
Great job!

Reminds me of The Thing... Guys in suits trying to stop the inevitable.
Great texture on the skin, great colours, and great expression on the guy's face.
(The human guy, that is. I can't read illithid faces)
The texture on the suits, the gloves, the wall, the pipes and the... thing. Just incredible.
To not want to fav this should be a capital crime.

Stunning.
Brilliant piece, easily one of my favourites on dA. The sense of emergency really comes through in this.
Am I the only one who is actually creeped out by the staring eyes of the monster/beast/alien?
