Description
"Hey, Pa, lookit what's comin' in from the east fields.""Huh. Reckon those r'the biggest aliens Ah ever laid eyes on. And none too friendly, from the look o'that longarm."
"You reckon we aught'a call the hands down the center bunker?"
"Reckon so. Ahso better warn the sherrif, if they ain't jammin' the wideband..."
You can set your story in THE FUTURE....You can fill it with exotic giant alien chicks, far off planets, unimaginable technology... But if you tell that story long enough, you're eventually going to come across that story's Hicks, Yokels, and Rustics! Becuase there's got to be someone that grows the protien that gets refined into those super-cool food pills you imagined up...
Just showing off the Rustics of the Legacy-Verse. They're high-tech Rustics, with a hight tollerance for the wierd, living on some far-distant colony world, but they are still Rustic in spirit!

Well at least they're mellow about the situation it sure beats panicky people who go to shooting without even thinking about what they're shooting at. I have to say they seem a little too mellow. Are they growing something other then food on that farm?

Ah, thanks. Comming up with the commentary is usually as much fun as doing the drawing itself.

Well, that's something that never seems to change. Aliens being found on a farm field, lol

Except these aliens would make 'crop angels' rather than 'crop circles'.

ahhhh, a very neat reverse of the 'New Toy' situation, to an extent I imagine, but amusing none the less.
Texas born and raised myself, but there aren't an true farms nearby, but there are a few small ranches in this part.
At least the hats survived WW3

Farmers will always have hats! I'm just glad they're recognizable the way I drew them. Cowboy hats are hard pretty incracate and hard to draw...

nice picture
and yeah... crazy farmers wonder what'd they'd do with the farm... just stay and tell them not to send the food to the arms?

I'm imagining the Alaereen are just passing through on thier way to a more important target. But there might be some more drawing possibilities here...
