Some nice placeholder… I’ll be glad to see your progress…

Is this a robot? :bounce:

One of the things david talked to me about was that all of the senior sentient species had “duennabots”, hovering or rolling guards to protect ambassadors and businesscreatures. Pretty much all the B&W illustrations I did for “Contacting Aliens” had some sort of duennabot floating in the background.

By the way, Mark says it’s ok for me to help people and be a judge at the same time.

I like your stuff.

Being down with fever/flu/something is a bummer, not just content-wise, but life-wise. I hope you get better really soon.

It was in fact your sketch entry that moved me to participate in the challenge. It was a sort of “I must be a part of all this, however slim my chances of winning”.

#12

JuanManuel > much better now thanks! hoping to make a start for real today.

#16

ok! :slight_smile:
The idea is that aliens are being fleeced of any technology and treated as second class citizens.

humans are advancing technology wise as a result of there new ’ guests ’ but are just using them for cheap labor etc. I’ll have to work the background in some way to really get this across. billboards, lots of clearly new additions to the buildings / traffic.
And may be a few parallels with 50’s /60’s America, segregation etc.

( idea number one any how )
