...This poor guy is about to be in some seriously deep trouble. I imagine that this might be the way I go, eaten by giant bugs...
I had originally thought about doing a whole lot of black inkwork on the Aliens in the foreground, as if they are all peeping out of a cave entrance at our hapless naturalist who is totally distracted by his latest discovery. Instead of inking the Aliens, I'm going to do all the dark bits with color. They'll still be really dark, almost totally hidden, so that the Predator won't see 'em until it's too late.
Aliens: "Shhhhhhh! Don't giggle! He'll HEAR you!"
If this guy was me, I'd be in big, big trouble. I see a fascinating bug, and I lose all sense of self-preservation in an effort to catch it and play with it. That's what was going through my head for this picture.
Beautiful work here Rachael, keep up the good work as always.
