hi everyone!
i never did somenthing like this, participate of a world contest, and i’m so scared ^^ … but i’m excited too!

the only reason for this scene is that i wanted to do something with aliens … and i think its a strange behavior this kind of relationship ^^

i hope you like it
i hope i like it ^^

#3

a little change of plans!

i think i was a little bit anxious to submit my entry and i didn’t explore others ideas!
but this one i will carrie on … i promise ^^

the idea here is showing how a point of view can make mistakes … “Will a child playing with a inoffensive toy scary the invaders and save the world??” … the message is something like this.

this idea is more difficult for me … i have no experience drawing children.
…thinking better, i have no experience with aliens neither … or with contests which have a lot of great artists!!!
but this is the main idea for me … gain some experience.

ps: sorry my bad english … i’m trying :smiley:

#5

I like your ideas. How do you plan on doing it? 3D or 2D?

Voce fala bem inglês. Better than my Portugues.

#6

thanks for your comment … now i feel more confident to say something :slight_smile:

i will make in 2D … i’m just starting to learn 3D ^^
but even in 2D this gonna be a big challenge … i’ve never made something huge before. :smiley:

#7

i made some studies for the aliens!
i think that is the way!

#8

this is the boy!

i will fix a few things (or a lot ^^) when i put the colors!

#9

the concept had some little changes!
i wanted to get their faces and the body expressions and the scene became a kind of a mid shot!
but a like this way … i’m still think if i will put others aliens or the window … i think it’s more expressive keep only these 2 characters.
another thing is about the boy … i made him not so innocent … i solve to try a mad expression … somenthing to have a mystery atmosphere around him.

#10

It is getting more interesting :slight_smile:

#11

some lighting in the boy.

the palette is gonna be green … the reason are the lights of the spaceships outside … and i think the lights will be the only reference of the invasion, i will not show that chaos of screaming people or destruction or etc.

for the head lighting i use as reference a 3d head that i made for practice.
and i forgot to say before … the drawing of the boy is based on a picture i took of a litlle cousin mine … and the alien position is a picture of me ^^

ps: plis forgive my english mistakes … i feel like writing some stupid thing ^^

…
i think i will make the rest of the drawing now.

#15

=)

#16

just a little update!
body, arms and toy.

as always … still have a lot of things to try making better.
^^

#17

I think working up the shadows and highlights on the kids face would help add more of a 3d feel, looing a little flat right now

:thumbsup:

#18

ok
thanks for the tip
i’ll try something about that
:slight_smile:

#19

hi there

few changes in the boy!!!
i try some hair … god, how difficult is this!!! … i just cant find the right brush, the right lighting, the right haircut (as u can see i changed it … i thought that a good boy haircut would be better for the scene, for the “misterious” kid)
i worked the highlights and shadows in the face
i putted some light, like coming from the back_right … i will probably change it with the complete scene

the boy is not really finished but i’ll start the alien now … i think i can make faster now … i hope i can do it faster … i have to ^^

#20

i started the alien
don’t have much to say about it … i just tried to put some volume … i still have so much to do … or trying to do ^^
