Last week was the NY Comic Con. Boy it keeps getting bigger and bigger. This year it was great to just talk to the smaller editors about their projects and to some talented artist about their process. It really gets the wheels turning as well as humble you with just the sheer concentration of talent. The level to which the gaming industry is involved really fuels my concern the the shadow of a gaming bubble about to burst.

Back on topic. By now you figured out this is not turning well for our alien explorer. Violence in monster movies tends to be very idealistic and fantastic but hardly ever simple and direct. Perhaps because rubber suits did not make for good realistic combat other than shoves and firecracker explosions. The violent outcome of this page is more akin to Willis O’brien stop motion work in King Kong 1933. Truth is that violence it’s not necessarily pretty, and all ends and deaths are not necessarily grand.  I wanted to make sue this was not resolved by space weapons, or super powers.

I’ll close just saying I would have like to have more time to develop this “alien” (which is in fact human) lettering style.
