wake up, babe. New re-draws of old ideas I had as a 15 year old to make an IMAX 3D movie (back in 2004) just appeared. Praetorians from the "Alien" universe already existed, but this was my take when I was 15 (drawings from that time seen on the left).

20 years ago I had an ambition to make an "Alien" prequel (shot in IMAX, and 3D... this was 2004). Of course I did 'concept art' back then for the Space Jockey Xenomorph. This week I was inspired to re-draw it! Wanted to stick really close to my original vision.

There’s so much Internet noise out there, that it gets hard to even interact with it. Anyone else kind of feel that way? It hit me particularly this year.

Mewtwo. My favorite Pokémon, (alongside Haunter). Fun fact about this, I drew this one way back, way way back. People who followed me since I initially posted this way way way back might recognize it.

The painting is done sticking to the pose of the original sprite, but mimicking artist Ken Sugimori's watercolor-style, and keeping the form of the Pokémon more closely to its official non-sprite art of the time.

Dragonite. Dragonite Dragonite, I think Dragonite is an awesome evolution from Dragonair because it bucks the assumption that each evolution has to be bigger, and share similar colors and builds. Also it's so happy, and I love how close it looks to Charizard. Also how deceptively stronger it can be.

Moltres is my favorite of the three birds. All because Charizard was my first fave Pokémon as a kid, and just because it was fire-type, it became my favorite. Would I have a different fave between them if it wasn't for Charizard? Most likely. Also, this pose was difficult!
