Snorks VS Aliens

I updated and "popped" it up a bit to add a little more depth as per some comments. I didn't change much, just some color and shading tweaks...




My mashup is pretty self explanatory:
The Snorks, which everyone should remember, and the xenomorphs from Aliens, which nobody could possibly forget.

I realize the cuteness is all but gone, and I wound up with H.R. Giger-Snorks which are arguably more terrifying than the original aliens. That said I think they're pretty accurate representation of what would happen if a Snork got incubated by a facehugger.

  3. AWESOME!! Nice post Arman! Good movement, and the combo works well. I love that there's multiple Snorks in various poses.

  4. Thats great dude! Like the monochromatic look with small color pops too. Exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping to see with this challenge.

  5. Very Nice... I find it impressive that you have the patience to draw your critters 3 times... and that they all look consistent. I always tend to draw one creature and then find it difficult to repeat the same creature in different poses.

  7. Thanks everybody! I'm liking the composition of this one more then the last. I'm definitely going to choose composition over detail more often. Mark, I hid a few more then 3 critters in there, but the main 3 were definitely a challenge. I'm really liking "detaching myself" from my work after I have a strong thumbnail and just cranking it out. The results seem to be better then taking more time actually.

  8. Nice work Arman! I'm a big fan of your line work. It's reading a little flat to me though. I would like to see a little more tonal range on the creatures. Perhaps even adding some sunlight filtering through the water, catching some of the alien snorks in the foreground.

  9. I agree with Joeyjojo. I think the character up top should probably have more lighting/detail only because he is so close to us in the picture. I think playing with lighting/tonal range would really push it more. Otherwise though, I think its pretty awesome and the Snorks will now give me nightmares
