Skheeter, The Explorer of Planet Glacer.

Hello my people I hope you are having a great day, I bring you a work in the style of an alien to which I put a lot of love and effort; It is Skheeter, The Explorer of Planet Glacer, in one of the darkest and coldest areas of the galaxy there is a planet in which its surface is covered entirely by huge layers of ice which are difficult to travel because they freeze in a short time everything that comes into contact with them.

PROCESS

To start with my drawing I had a more or less clear idea of how to build the character, but even so I had to try certain body structures and posture to go devising the character of Skheeter so that it looked striking enough and at the same time intimidating. After having achieved a good sketch, it was there where I concentrated especially on choosing the right colors that would make up my alien; I focused on looking for blue colors first of all, since the theme would be about a planet with a very cold climate.

I managed to couple the blue tonalities one on top of the other and I obtained a volume in the face that left me quite happy since I achieved that intimidating alien look; after finishing with the skin bases I continued with the painting of the expression details in the face and for this I used flat brushes to take care of the details. For the eyes I used several shades of blue to begin with and then the grays were giving better shape to the look; then I continued creating some sharp fangs in the shape of piranha teeth that I thought would suit the expression of the face and also would give it that even cooler personality.

For Skheeter's clothing I focused on creating a kind of space suit that looked quite elegant and resistant, a suit that gave the impression that it would protect the user from almost any injury or harmful element. I focused on creating the suit layer by layer, first I laid a base for the lower part of the suit in a swampy brown tone and then in a new high layer I applied the yellow tones mixing a little to get a rough texture first and then I polished a little to give a better finish to the suit before adding the last touches of light.

For the background of my drawing I concentrated on creating a kind of open scenery in which you can see in the back some textures like mountains or mounds of crystalline ice to give a little context to the planet (Glacer) as what I had in mind at first when I started with this work. Finally I decided to add a complement to my drawing and for this I created 2 new layers in Luminosity mode and Hue mode with the intention of giving it a special illumination like an aura inside the ice; finally I used a special brush to create a texture of mist falling from the sky.
