Looks like I'm getting an influx of new followers. Hi all!
Introduction time. I'm Lee ex VFX artist and animator. Formerly worked at Cartoon Network and on shows like Clone Wars, Gumball, Walking Dead, Luther and Lucifer to name a few. Nowadays I just do art for fun and to chill out.

Well despite the website saying otherwise, the market was closed. So had a stroll round a chilly London. And discovered what a boat would look like if you designed it on LSD
A black boat sculpture with a creatures face, pipes, spikes and ornate flourishes on the hull and main mast. Making the boat look like some kind of Victorian, steampunk sea monster

A digital painting of a Xenomorph biomechanical creature from the Alien film franchise. The creature, bathed in blue light, turns towards you. One arm raised as if to block the light.

The image is a black-and-white photograph showing a seascape with islands and boats in Croatia. It was taken from a hill, allowing for a wide view of the water and surrounding islands. The strong contrast created by the low sun reflecting off the water emphasises the wave patterns and the silhouettes of the islands and boats. A dark headland dominates the foreground. Several boats can be seen in the water, including a sailboat leaving waves in its wake and two other boats anchored in a bay. The very bright backlighting creates an almost surreal landscape, with the bright reflections contrasting sharply with the dark shadows.

#xenovember day 15 - I had to stop on this one. I could have gone on for hours farting about with it and getting nowhere. Then procreate crashed so I’m taking that as a sign to stop.

Just got a text from my wife who has come home to find the cat, who appeared out of a bush in our garden and randomly adopted us, has made himself at home again. BTW the blanket wasn’t on the sofa, this little sod moved it 🤣

Morning all. A bleak drizzly morning today, but I have a mug of coffee the size of an Olympic swimming pool, the radio on and getting some #xenovember sketching in early while I await client feedback

So actually it’s not a bad start

A tall willowy thin Xenomorph from the alien movie series stands, passive, in a pale green light. Its biomechanical skin is pale with translucent blue and purple mottling through its skin.
