Alien beach vacation

Painted to A4 size in photoshop,during February 2010. This was fun and easy to do, my favorite part being the child alien who has dropped his ice cream and is now worried by the strange crab coming to it. The spider like aliens are having jelly!

This was painted in photoshop to A4 size during 2011. It depicts a fun scene on a beach where life seems normal except that the visiting tourist are aliens, still enjoying the sea, ice creams and listening to an old fashioned transistor radio. The father wears a horrible string vest and is reading a book similar to JAWS. I particularly like the child alien, having dropped a part of the ice cream on the beach is now watching worryingly a crab approaching for the treat. The creatures on the left are having some jelly on a plate!
 

Front room bear family

Bear family in front room with son playing a computer game

Painted during august 2010 in photoshop. I wanted to have a go at painting 'nice' bears, and I also wanted to see what happens to the elements in a picture when I paint a 'tv' glow.

bear family in front room with son playing computer game
This image was painted in photoshop to a size of 8" x 10". It is a family of bears in their home but not in a cave, but in an every day human environment. The mother is ironing, the older son playing a computer game and the nipper balancing on a ball, circus fashion. I deliberately picked a very wide, impossible angle, but I cheated on the perspective, so that we get to see a lot of the room. I enjoyed painting the blue hue from the TV, and having it reflect in the characters eyes.
