Description Part III of "Planets" Series

---
Took the Longest to do, wanted to focus a bit more on the alien rather than the background, but got carries away anyway

Planet Mercury, with it's inhabitant who began the growth of flora through the use of mediation. Thought to be cousin of the steam-aliens of Venus, Mercurians are isolated creatures with frail bodies who use their secondary pair of arms to enrich the growth of plants

Planet Series
Mars: The Collectors
Venus: Sun and Smoke

Wow! There's an awful lot going on here! (: I love how the creature in the focal point is such a contrast to all of the much more vibrant, bright colors around it. Very well done!

Thank you so much. Yeah i wanted there to be a lot of different things to give it a dense jungle feel, while being able to see the creature properly. Thanks so much for the appreciation of the coloring too!! ( took forever ) thanks!

Oh, you are so very welcome! I've only ever done one fully colored picture, corner to corner, and it took me 8 freakin hours. So I'm very appreciative of such things! XD
Keep up the great work!

Wow, very nice. I like the contrast between the earth tones of the mercurian and the greens of the flora. A really great piece.

Interesting. Sure seems like you've been honing in on your creativity quite a bit lately, as this has got to be one of your coolest original concepts yet. What's really great about this is your ability to include a dignified-like presence in portraying the Mercurians hard at work. Reminds me of a stained-glass window in a way, and dang it sure is mighty colorful!

All in all, a very slick picture. You've got it all down dude. Keep it up!
