Day 29: Inspired by the supernatural (Adorable aliens!)

Day 29! AHHH!!! Only two days left! What ever will my manis be? Guess you'll have to stay tuned ;)

For supernatural day, I was originally going to do angels and devils. But my dear friend Jen (hi Jen!) told me she thought aliens would be a good idea for supernatural. I agreed! Plus I didn't know how to execute angels/devils and didn't want to risk possibly offending anyone by insinuating that either of those 2 are not real so I decided to go with aliens :)



I started with two coats of Zoya Kelly. In retrospect I should've used a lighter color. I started the aliembs with a black outline but it was too hard to see over Kelly so I ended up painting over most of it. Plus I needed to make the little dudes a little plumper!



Lol I always have the goofiest drawings on my pinky. Maybe because it's the smallest so I can't fit an image the same size on it? He kind of looks like Mike Wazowski with two eyes...And I just realized the alien on my pointer finger looks like Plankton!



The aliens are made with acrylic paint and an itty bitty teeny weeny paintbrush. Boy was this tedious! I can't imagine how long it would've taken had I added shadows, but I like the cartoony effect these have :) Maybe I've redeemed myself from my weak, easy-way-out posts the last couple days? Haha



I think these little aliens are so cute, and they were pretty easy to do actually! All you need is patience :)

WE COME IN PEACE!!
