Alien Form

"Alien Form"

Hatzegopteryx thambema. An acrylic painting of an encroaching Hazegopteryx.

I was very keen to do another horror themed piece after my Baba Yaga painting, this time with a pterosaur. I spent ages trying to figure out a pose, something that was along the lines of Julio Lacerda's rendition of Hatzegopteryx snatching a dinosaur up while on just its forelimbs. I finally found my pose when one of the trailer for Alien: Covenant was released with a full shot of the new xenomorph/protomorph glaring at the viewer while on all fours. I thought it was a perfect pose for my pterosaur. 

So much so, I made the enviroment look like LV-426 from the first two Alien films to pay further homage to the Alien franchise. Though I finally saw Alien: Covenant and was pretty disappointed with it. 

Completed on the 19th of April 2017.

Done using acrylics and color pencils.
