Description
This was another project for my digital imagery class. We had to illustrate/design a cover for a book called "Invasion" by Isaac Asimov. We were given the specifications that it must feature a boy and a girl, an alien invasion, and that it must be set in Lancaster county. I was really excited about this one, because I finally got to utilize an idea that I've had kicking around in the back of my mind forever - corn monsters with giant eyeballs. Plus I got to go back and work in my usual digital style, which I really haven't had a chance to do since I started school.Nothing says Lancaster county like corn. Believe you me.
Illustrator for the lines and Photoshop for the colors. 15+ hours, completed in one mad stretch because I was having computer problems. There was type on this for class, but I took it off because I like the image by itself.

I love the lighting here, and my favorite part is the fact that the two children are holding the corn holders as the weapons LARGEST CORN HOLDER EVAR. Great job!!

This is a really great, professional-level work. And based on an Asimov-theme, too.

Thank you! I've never read anything by Asimov, so I was really flying blind.

What better kind of invasion than the one next door?
Very creative. (Just don't show it to little kids, they won't eat their vegetables even more )

You'd just have to explain that it's genetically modified corn. ;D Fear your vegetables, children!

...or maybe it would make them actually eat their veggies. Think about it, little kids love beating monsters, if they think veggies = monsters, they'd eat them more.

Very enjoyable. I'd read a book that had one eyed corn monsters. There is a lot of life and movement in the fiigures, and plently of tension and excitement in the composition.
