This was originally part of my Nugator final major project last year, but due to time constraints didn't get finished, and languished as a sketch until recently. A while ago I started finishing up all my WiPs lying around on paper, and this was the first one to be completed. :meow:

Because it didn't have to fit so strictly into the Nugator aesthetic, I took the opportunity to play with a colour scheme very different from that originally intended (bluish, like the rest :lol:).

The candles were a bitch to paint. :stare:

Very nice and very creepy, the slight, almost forced smile along with those empty eyes give it a weird side affect, as though it's capable of causing you serious harm and death before you even know.

Thanks, that's the kind of feel I was going for, although the dangerousness wasn't intentional (although it's cool you perceive that). :meow:

I watched a documentary on geiger's work before hand so that might have influenced me a little, the idea of anything odd or alien being a threat.

Possibly, but I like the idea of alien = threat. It's so obvious but such a subconscious thing that one doesn't think about it.

Yeah, funny how the mind works.

Speaking of which have you seen the trailer for the alien prequel Prometheus?
