SIlly Puppy



















I'm pretty sure this is the same baby that's now riding the bomb.  I don't mean to pick on this poor child in particular...but the artist (who doesn't put his/her name on any of their pieces) just makes it so easy!



Every step of this particular piece had me second guessing my abilities.  I was terrified I was going to ruin it and that this idea would never come into fruition.  I had to make the facehugger twice, as the first time it wasn't flexibly enough and fell apart as I tried to attatch it.  The second one I attatched the pieces as I built them, but that left we with some difficult angles to get my paintbrush through so the paint job (particularly on the suction part) is a bit off.  Also because of the 'green stuff' I use i was concerned that the paint wouldn't sufficiently cover, but it all came together in the end and to be honest I think this has usurped 'Pre-Emptive Strike' as my new all time favorite mutation.

Hope you enjoy, don't tell Ridley....

  1. Ugh that is horrifying! Nice work!! I love how you left her looking so innocent, I think it just makes the whole piece scarier!

  2. thanks! I wanted to show the innocence of being a child. How you don't understand how something can be evil when you're that age, as though it was simply playing with her.
