I posted an image of these guys a couple weeks ago, but I’m not happy with that illustration. I need a better, more dynamic composition to express the ideas in it, and to do that I need to take a closer look at the flying creatures’ anatomy.
I’m looking forward to getting back to Gribus, Ghiarren, and Tiauuai the Talking Spaceship soon! I got distracted at this illustration, though, because I didn’t like how it came out last time. I’m moving the camera around to take another swing at the illo, but I realized I had too poor an understanding of the shape of their bodies, so I had to do this sketch. I’m really pleased with the texture on the back! It’s following the principle that animals tend to be lighter on the bottom and darker on the top to keep potentially interested predators away and prey from realizing that they approach.
BE NOT AFRAID
