Description English
The idea for this illustration was to make a retro robot on the surface of the moon. While I was working on it I found out that it wasn't interesting enough so the original illustration ended up as the reflection on the cosmonaut's helmet.

Muy buena, me encanta.

En mi opinion, el extraterrestre podría llegar a ser mucho mejor, más "creepy". Pero igual, increíble

I love when artists use a reflection to get the point across. It's one of my own challenges. Fantastic work!

scuzzo In reply to Teh-russian-uchiha [2009-01-11 23:14:53 +0000 UTC]

because, and this is a very personal opinion, I believe that is the point of art, to let you make things that are not real, to show fantastic things, or even impossible ones. The suit is not a cosmonaut's either, it's an Astronaut's, but that didn't seem to bother you. Other people felt like me naming him "Gagarin" worked as an homage, other people just enjoyed it. It all depends on the eye of the beholder.

Your mastery of the digital medium blows my mind. I honestly have no idea how you can reach such quality (and I tried a tablet, and I found I didn't stand a chance with it).

I remember seeing a (fake) photo like this with an alien in reflection, probably a classic. It is a striking composition. Awesome work!

I still have to try a tablet, but so far drawing with a mouse hasn't disappointed me! Thanx for your comment

Woah, you do all this REALLY with just a mouse? You sure are impressive! I can't even do any of this with a regular pen or brush...

It takes longer to do the illustration, but I'm used to the mouse, plus I find working on Mac with a mouse is more precise than the PC (I have both)
