I originally took a break because I was moving into a new apartment. I think I'm finally getting settled in the new place (actually have a office now to work on art and other projects) but I think I'm gonna call off the Daily Alien drawings.<br />
<br />
Even though I have only been doing them for a few months I'm already feeling the drag of the project much sooner than I did when I did the 365 Cyborg series a year ago. I'm really happy with how a lot of the Alien pieces have turned out but I think if I forced myself to continue I'd end up posting a lot more lazy pieces with greater frequency, and that's not doing anybody good.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this means there will be a lot more pieces of quality and not just quantity. I want to be able to work on projects not involving strictly aliens and not things that take just the span of a day. Also just being able to have a little more free time is nice, it seems like years since I've sat down and had some serious videogame time.<br />
<br />
I'm still posting various other art projects over at <a href="http://lukedenby.deviantart.com/">my deviantart page</a> if for some reason you can't kick that Denby art addiction.<br />
<br />
Thanks for bothering to stick around this long.<br />

Well reverse that feeling for the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, dodged that bullet. Man did I hate the little kids running around during recess playing power rangers.<br />

Anyways, this is Lord Zedd who replaced Rita Repulsa as the series main baddie for the 2nd and 3rd season. He was easily a lot more menacing than Rita but many people thought he was too frightening for a kids show. As a result as the show went on he became a little more bumbling and goofy much like Shredder in the TMNT cartoon show.<br />
<br />
Though as an adult the Japanese shows have a certain charm for me. <br />

It originated on the show Happy Days when the Fonz actually jumped over a shark. The Flinstones (an older version of today's King of Queens series) eventually jumped the shark with the introduction of the Great Gazoo.<br />

The Great Gazoo was a little green man from the planet Zetox who got stuck on earth during caveman days. He often caused trouble for Fred and Barney who were one of the few people who could see him. He seemed to be an all powerful being but ended just being a pain, in many ways he is a lot like Q from Star Trek. Shortly after his introduction the show ended.Luke Denbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15540804832649783809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986477278556400655.post-62021565797987903682011-03-15T20:53:00.000-07:002011-03-15T20:53:01.752-07:00Klaatu Barada NiktoThe Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the great Sci-Fi classics.

The plot is that basically a spaceman comes to Earth to check us out along with Gort, a giant enforcer robot. In the end humanity learns that they are jerks.<br />

For those who don't know, Tamagotchi were the first of the "virtual pet" craze that swept across the world, not counting pet rocks of course (those things were soulless hellspawn) Basically little toys that demanded every moment of a kids time, kind of like Farmville for this generation. I eventually grew to hate the little buggers and even killed one of my cousins Tamagotchi by repeatedly flushing it down the toilet (not in real life but in game)<br />

I never realized that the Tamagotchi were aliens though when I was a kid. I guess their story is that they came from a far away planet in eggs to grow and observe earth. They start as little eggs and depending on how well you tend to their virtual needs they evolve into different critters, this version is called Masktchis.Luke Denbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15540804832649783809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986477278556400655.post-35377989597644936052011-03-13T15:24:00.000-07:002011-03-13T15:24:27.671-07:00Bossy BrainKrang is an alien from Dimension X and one of the main antagonists in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Like anybody in my generation I could go on and on about the TMNT but I wanted to make this a quick drawing today so it's also getting a quick description.<br />

The only person to predict this was Obviouslon, and then Gostopem had to go stop him. But Gostopem was defeated and with his dieing breath gave his power ring to Ryan Reynolds to get revenge and kiss a girl for him.<br />

At least that's what I think the story is, I grew up on Marvel comics. From what little I <i>actually</i> do know about Sinestro he seems like a interesting enough villain, that and the costumes of anybody associated with the Green Lantern Corps. tend to be pretty awesome.<br />

Teal'c here is kind of like the Worf character of SG-1. I decided to depict him in the traditional Space Egyptian armor instead of the more human jumpsuit thing he usually wears. The Teal'c you see here is actually just the host body for a little worm thingy called a Goa'uld. I like the word Goa'uld quite a bit, almost as much as the word Muad'Dib.<br />

The headcrabs are probably the most recognizable alien from Halflife. Gross little parasitic monsters that look like plucked turkey cadavers with fingery fangs. They are able to attach themselves onto humans and turn them into a sort of zombie.<br />

The King of all Cosmos accidentally destroys many of the heavenly bodies in the galaxy after a night of too much drinking. He tasks his son (controlled by you) to create new stars and planets. You do this by rolling up everyday objects, starting with tiny little thumb tacks and eventually working your way up skyscrapers and whole continents.<br />
<br />
I wish I would have had more time to do a piece more fitting for one of my favorite games. The game has an amazing soundtrack and simply oozes style. Frankly I could go on and on about the games unique Japanese charm/insanity but I think the opening will do a better job.<br />

They seemed like fun enough games but I think a big part of their draw these days is nostalgia. Being that I'm a big nerd I feel like I'm missing out to an extent, that it's too late to jump in. I'll never have that attachment to my first starter Pokemon, or be able to remember 100s of little monster's names.<br />

To my knowledge Deoxys is the only alien Pokemon. It arrived as a virus on a meteorite and continued to change into this form.

Pretty much whenever my siblings and I wound up at our grandparents we would watch one. Not sure why we usually watched the live action ones instead of the cartoons, we just watched whatever VHS my grandma put in.<br />
<br />

This is the feline hero from "The Cat from Outer Space" with his super space collar. His alien name is Zunar-J-5/9 Doric-4-7 but you can call him Jake. His species decided to focus their evolutionary path on increasing their minds instead of growing opposable thumbs and walking upright. Not sure how they decided that but cats are pretty finicky. I watched a little bit of the movie while working on this and wasn't as charming as I remember.<br />
I am looking forward to re-watching "Flight of the Navigator" though, that movie was awesome.<br />

There were the Street Sharks, Biker Mice from Mars, Extreme Dinosaurs, the Cy-Boars (how the hell did I miss drawing those guys during my 365 Cyborgs?) and of course the Snailiens.<br />
<br />

I had a couple of the Snailien toys and if I can recall correctly they were a team of little alien snail men who crash landed on Earth along with some enemy aliens (the Lunarticks) in a similar situation to the Transformers. The four snailiens took their names from the pieces of coin currency, Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln.

It introduced a full 'free look' system, allowing players to control the players view/aim with the mouse. Most people are unaware of Marathon and its influential gameplay due to the fact that it started life on the Mac.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjih77VJn4QR8dtkeUgIyn4lFUMZvPwlO7f_DPOlcfx8udlGeeIo0BjYjM0KkICPIsy7tMoq4D6MxWj0_hd9tVtioWT6bMCDYmz9Qqg5lf8MqjJ9Hc8KxOXu9W6BLwBB-_WElzsGgrlwJ0/s1600/pfhor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjih77VJn4QR8dtkeUgIyn4lFUMZvPwlO7f_DPOlcfx8udlGeeIo0BjYjM0KkICPIsy7tMoq4D6MxWj0_hd9tVtioWT6bMCDYmz9Qqg5lf8MqjJ9Hc8KxOXu9W6BLwBB-_WElzsGgrlwJ0/s320/pfhor.jpg" width="205" /></a></div><br />
Another interesting factor of Marathon was its fairly engaging narrative, involving evil aliens and computers that have lost their virtual marbles. It also has many similarities to Bungie's best known game; Halo. Many people view Halo as a kind of quasi remake or prequel/sequel to Marathon.<br />

Then once you got a chance to rent the game again you realized some other kid saved over your file. I'm guessing most kids these days will never experience this now that most games get saved on memory cards or hard drives instead of on the game cartridge itself.<br />

I remember renting Earthbound for the Super Nintendo at least 3 different times only to have my save file lost. Usually it stinks having to go through the same parts of a game over and over but I really enjoyed Earthbound's quirky style and fun story.<br />
This fella is Mr. Saturn, not sure how they fit into the story though. Pretty sure I never made it that far but I could be wrong. I do know them from the Super Smash Bros. series though.

His work has only grown on me more as I've gotten older. He's a fantastic draftsman and wonderful storyteller. I kind of view him as the J.D. Salinger of comics. He had a relatively short but immensely successful career only to become a bit of a recluse. Calvin & Hobbes only ran for 10 years<br />

Starfire is from DC comics and luckily for me is an alien from the planet Tamaran. I think her super powers involve flight, energy blasts, and flirting with Dick Grayson.

The goofy monsters of the week episodes got me into the show but the loose overarching narrative got me hooked. I think as the show went on the big story got a little sloppy but the show does have a couple great episodes/seasons.<br />

I don't really remember much about this guy except he was awesome. He was some sort of alien Terminator, big, unrelenting , and almost invincible. This guy has actually been in a lot of stuff but I always remember him as his X-Files role.Luke Denbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15540804832649783809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986477278556400655.post-12016362278381414902011-02-23T12:18:00.000-08:002011-02-23T12:18:54.631-08:00Evil WeevilThe last few aliens have been pretty cutesy and lighthearted so I decided to work on a big jerk today. Originally I was gonna do another Doctor Who alien, hopefully doing a better job this time too. After some poking around I instead decided to do an alien from the Dr. Who spin-off show Torchwood.<br />

Torchwood is kind of like a British Men In Black. A secret agency who deal with alien threats. The Weevil is one of the first aliens introduced in the series. They live in the sewers and eat poo which tends to make them fairly ornery.<br />

<span id="goog_71281352">I really should do more research sometimes when doing these drawings. I've only seen the first episode of the series and only have a faint memory of it. Then I only really looked at a few pictures of Weevils on the internet. After watching a few clips I realize I should have had this guy in a creepier pose and maybe had his face pointing a different way to show of the weird shape of the face more.</span><span id="goog_71281353"></span>Luke Denbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15540804832649783809noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986477278556400655.post-25808049196084900302011-02-22T22:07:00.000-08:002011-02-22T22:12:56.404-08:00Wrencher & ClunkIt seemed like animals with 'tude used to be all the rage for a couple of years. From the peak of Sonic the Hedgehog to the horrible lows of Poochie. The Ratchet and Clank series came out quite a while afterward and made a couple tweaks to the idea.<br />

<a name='more'></a> </a></div>The protagonist Ratchet (a Lombax with a penchant for fixing things and saving the galaxy) was a bit of a blank canvas and his robot sidekick Clank was the character with attitude. For these reasons I actually don't hate Ratchet, and conversely why I despise Daxter from the Jak & Daxter series.<br />
