Description
My metallic alien creature again. Took me three days to paint this picture. I was inspired while looking out my back door during a mild winter's day. The warm weather created a thick fog that rolled in, making the small woodlot out back look quite interesting.Basically I wanted to show how the creature uses it's highly reflective skin as a form of camoflauge. The creature's skin is made up of highly polished microscopic interlinking scales, giving it a sheen not unlike polished chrome.
The creature ISN'T a robot...and is NOT a blob of shape-shifting liquid metal. It is a living organism, a highly intelegent alien creature of my own design. [/ mini-rant]
Acrylic paint on 16"x20" canvas board.

I feel that is an interesting cross between dinosaur and peacock. A very extravagant creature.
I love the care and attention put on the background as well. You must have spent most of your three days on it.

*gasp* OH! I love this sooo much, it's highly evocotive of Bev Doolittle's " hidden" works, and just as imaginative. Perhaps more so, as this is Sci Fi and completely out of your imagination. Brilliant concept, great job

Your paintings are so spectacular. I love how you reflect the creature's surroundings in it's skin/covering/hide. You painted the snow beautifully. The scene looks entirely believable.
