This is my latest digital painting that I made for the Uplift contest here on CGSociety.
The thread (includes the sketches and WIPs etc.) is located here: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=235&t=610225&page=1&pp=15

For best viewing click on the image and see the 1600 x 1162 pixels version.

The image depicts the moment of contact between two explorers from very different worlds who unexpectedly meet on an alien planet. I tried to depict the emotional side of such an encounter.

I would also like to thank all those who participated in the contest! Thank you for this wonderfull experience.

The very best of luck to everyone!

Comments and critiques are welcome.

Thanks a lot for your feedback Al-Haitham and Anthony! :)


Here's the story:

Report X3H 39087

Exobotanist Erod Braskoor.

“We were studying the famous and mysterious silicon-based “sand corals” on Zwootik 5. I was taking measurements and tissue samples in sector Zeta 23 when I heard a strange sound behind me.

I turned around and saw an ethereal sphere of blue light only a few meters from me. The next moment out of the light stepped this strange spidery thing as if it came out of nowhere. After a few seconds of shock the voice of my suit awakened me out of my paralysis “Commencing defensive transformation stage one…” I felt how the suit began to transform and all I could do was to think “NO! Stop defensive transformation!”. I don’t know why I thought that, but when I saw the eyes of the creature inside the “spider” I knew, don’t ask me how or why, that there was no danger.

We approached each other in absolute silence. What could words express in such a moment? Even if we could understand each other – words fail in a situation like this; something else takes over, something infinitely bigger than thoughts and words. I know this might sound crazy but in a way I felt as if I was looking into a mirror, when I placed my hand on the transparent bubble of the alien’s environmental vehicle. We may look very different and yet there’s only one consciousness. Whenever we look into the eyes of another we look into our own depths.”
