Hey everyone over at Alien Art Hive! Hope you're all having a good one.
So, I whipped up this piece today, and even though I was seriously rushing and feeling pretty tired while making it 😩, I just had to share it with you guys. It totally sparked from a thought that stuck with me, and I just had to get it out.
Meet My Latest Work: "I Steal Souls"
Check it out – here’s what I came up with:
The Idea Behind It (and Where It Came From!)
This whole drawing was seriously inspired by a line from Descendants 2 that just got stuck in my head: "I steal souls, were you expecting flowers?" Man, that line just instantly brought this character to life in my imagination! It's all about that unexpected, darker side – kind of like when you're expecting one thing, and then BAM, you get hit with a stark reality. Hope it makes you think a bit!
How I Made It (My Process When I'm Tired But Creative!)
So, this one started out old-school, as a pen drawing, and then I took it digital.
First Up: The Sketch
I just jumped straight into sketching out the main character, trying to capture that vibe right from the start.
Then: Pen to Digital Magic (with Comica!)
Once I had the pen drawing down, I ran it through the Comica app to get that digital look. I honestly didn't do a ton of editing in Sketchbook after that – I just knew when it felt right, and that's where I decided to call it "done."
Seriously, even though I was creating this in a rush and feeling pretty drained, I really wanted to share it. I hope this piece fits right in with the "alien" vibes here in its own unique way.
Thanks a ton for checking it out! You guys are awesome.
