I've laid down 3 ideas (for now).
1. Snowman
Two children making a snowman. One is an alien in "summer" clothing. The other is human, in very warm winter clothing. I will need to adjust the perspective a little.

2. Car Sale
Car salesman selling a used human car to an alien whit 3 tentacly "feet" and tiny arms. Salesman is smiling eagerly.

3. Soccer
Alien and human children playing soccer in the street next to the fruit shop. One of the aliens are tackling by blowing at the ball as it doesn't have legs.

[Monsoon]

I like the first one with human/alien children playing in the snow....however, I have met some car salesmen that were all 'tentacly' like in your second one. Good luck to you....

[elmasfeo]

For me the car salesman one is the funnier of them, I like your ideas, hehe, but maybe I'd change the point of view to a lower one...
Good luck with the challenge Valentina! :)

I have an idea, but I still have to figure the angle.
The idea is of two old people remembering the old days when they were young, either talking happily or looking in a photoalbum.
This is the alien "granny". It was going to be a quick doodle, but I got a little carried away. Aliens are fun to draw, and she got so adorable!
I think I need to give her more wrinkles?

I couldn't find any interesting angles of the "grannies" talking and laughing, and the idea itself didn't seen so good.
Then I though of this idea here whit the two ladies riding a motorcycle (possibly steampunk) at full speed, and it seemed far more interesting.

A rough sketch of the motorcycle.

[walrus]

What a fun idea! I'm quite charmed, can't wait to see more! :)

[GaeasHerald]

The alien grannie looks sooooo cute. I also think the angle works fine.
Good luck :)

[SteevieWoo]

I'm sold by the granny, she looks really in character so I don't think she needs more wrinkles.
ooooohhhh I wanna se more of this, yeah!:drool:

[zlux]

hehehe
the Alien Granny is very cool

good luck! :thumbsup:

I'm working on the background, but not putting in that many details yet.
I don't want unnecessary details to scare me from working on the grannies and their bike

I've never really done vehicles so to stay more on focus on the bike, I clean up the lines and draw the bike and grannies more detailed. This reveals the importance of the clouds as well, but I'll get to them later.

[greenpizza]

hey! your idea is funny, i like it!, maybe you can use a little of perspective in the motorcycle like you did in the motorcycle concept image :) it can give you more impact i guess...but nevermind, i saw that you are focus now in the front image...is also more funy, good luck!...

[LadyMedusa]

I felt like I should make the picture more interesting, without having to depend on the shapes of the clouds as well.

Staring on the sidecar and moving on to the motorcycle. Still have to do the seat in the sidecar and add dirt, as its not brand new, and of course work a little more on it owerall if I get the time.

[INIX]

Hey nice concept i like it , hope to see more progress of it , loooking forward n goooood luck val :D

[LadyMedusa]

I remove the colored sketch layer to focus on the alien granny.

[jeromoo]

Indeed, I'm so charmed already! I love the idea of alien and human grannies riding out the remainders of their lives! I'll watch your future updates! All the best!

[editablepauly]

great concept art, you did so much with just stick figures! very fun stuff to look at

[LadyMedusa]

So far the background's fairly quick work. I'll add flowers in the grass, and I can't really say that I'm looking forward to that.
I got a fluff-brush that I use for hair and grass. And I make up the clouds quickly.
I need to do something about human granny's hair. First of the color, and curls don't rally make a sort of "Bad to the bone" image on an old lady. Shes getting a skull ring or skull earrings though, which will certainly help. I've seen many elder people wearing quite many rings, so naturally these ladies will do as well, that on the other hand, is something I look forward too.

Is the air in from of them too empty?
I might add something there, a spaceship perhaps, or a chopper of sorts.

[Slav]

thats pretty funny. thanks for sharing your work. keep it up!

[INIX]

owww cute as ever :D well pretty humor too :d i like it :D specialy the granny , i think u need a lil more darker shadows. n the alian grannies hand is kinder mixing up with the head , thts wot i think :d well hope to see it finished :D i wish i got some time to work on ma idea other then keeping it in ma mind :S hehe

[Ferx]

I've given human granny a new face, as I wasn't too happy about the other one, and now she got cooler sunglasses too.
I've also started on the clouds, fixed a little error on the sidecar and put som flowers on alien grannys purse

[LadyMedusa]

I finish the clouds and the dust.
I also made a soft light layer using mainly dark red, dark blue and light blue, this way the colors get more vivid and theres more contrast.

These two grannies have been friends all their lives. One day they decided to do something new, something they hadn't done before; They bought a nice used Omega Motorcycle and took it out for a ride.

[varma]

Congratulations on a great accomplishment!
Love the colors!
Too much "møller's tran" for the grannies?
Never fails!!!
