🎨 THE FERNAL ALIEN PLANT 👽
THE FERNAL ALIEN PLANT
About 10 days ago I posted a photo of a "strange encounter": ANOTHER WORLD - a apparition of the Planet Nibiru over a Western Canadian National Park (sometimes called Niburu, Planet X or Nemesis).
Not long thereafter, @elohprojects called for entries to !!VISIONARY ART CONTEST!! - CALL FOR ENTRIES - what a coincidence! On of the categories: DESIGN AN ALIEN PLANT!
So I worked all week since then, creating from my atavistic memory a ALIEN PLANT that I believe has been seeded on a remote island in the South Pacific some 320.000 years ago when Nibiru had a close pass to our Earth. Encased in a meteor that landed in the sea, the seeds of this plant stayed dormant for thousands of years, until through volcanic activity, a island arose, still uncharted and unexplored to this day. It lifted the meteor and its content to the surface, and several thousand years later, by erosion, the seeds were freed and began to sprout, producing a strange carnivorous plant.
👇🏻
By that time, seeds of palm trees and other vegetation had been carried by the tide and the island slowly developed a lush forest cover. Eventually, sea birds populated this island - and just at that time, the alien plant began to spread rapidly across the island via rhizomes; I believe the largest part of the plant is under ground, while the exposed part is it's "feeding flower" like a flesh eating plant. Somehow it had developed a sort of siren call to attract the seabirds. Should a bird land and stick its head into the orifice of the flower, it snaps shut and drags the bid within. Digestion happens almost instantaneously. Food thus obtained is then shared via the rhizome network with all the other alien plants on the island.

The Process
last photo before finishing it today
The medium is graphite pencils and graphite sticks, done on a cream-colored 2,5 mm mat board (its really great to draw on - I prefer it over paper). In the photos it may look like it would be larger, but as you can see on the desk shot - it is 20 x 30 cm (roughly 9 x 12 inches).
Your artwork actually looks interesting but I still don't seems to understand it, can you explain more about it please?
Sometimes I need someone to interpret it to me. But I did write a description, sort of a short story.

Crazy!!!! :-D
me, the art or both, haha -------
BOTH ;-))
haha - that, to me, is a badge of honor! One has to be crazy to be an artist!
Really? I am soooooo normal ;-)))))
I am almost normal, but sometimes ..... but I am OK now, so please don't call the guys with the white coats and the butterfly net!
Love it :-D
I turned it into a blog https://steemit.com/alien/@thermoplastic/protection-against-alien-mind-control - since here, like on Facebook, you have to post crazy shit to get any attention, lol - Like, just earlier I posted a free music resource that took me ages to collect and a couple of hours to compile in blog form. So this is a test: which one of the posts would "win".
Mind you, this plant here is doing good. Maybe because it is crazy!
Just dope!! I love it! Resteemed!
thank you!
Your skills are amazing!!! I've been searching for pencil hyper-realists like myself. It seems we're very few here. My drawing materials always look scattered like that too lol.
It's great to have found you!
thank you - I am not a hyper-realist, but I enjoy working with pencils and creating details I pull from my imagination.
You're welcome. Your work is very realistic though.
404 upvotes!!! Well deserved!!!
Thanks - this happened over night, while I was sleeping! When I went to bed I was thinking that this would just be another one of my ignored posts, lol - there was nothing happening for the longest time.
I know, your work truly needs to be seen; seriously you made me consider new possibilities in art and the imagination, a huge influence on me of late. It does seem when Steem goes down it people vacate Steemit to focus on their day jobs; I am walking extra dogs lately,for example.
good thing my "day job" is being a pensioner - I can do what I like to do now ......
You look so young and handsome? I just assumed you made art for a living; your art is literally my favorite. (Hope did give the wrong impression)
Haha, not a kid anymore - I retired from my job at the Canadian Pacific Railway in 2006.
This is beautiful
Wonderful work!
thank you!
this is an incredible drawing. I looked at the story on the web site. I must say that it is a wonderful work! Watching his drawings is enjoyable. congrats my friend.
thank you!
