I have always loved science fiction as a kid, but i have always loved British Science fiction, Qatermass and the pit was something i watched without my parents knowledge and it scared me to death. I like surreality of alien tech in a urban environment, i have always wanted to paint the pit story but i am saving that for a rainy day. As a build up i decided to paint some scenes that would teach me techniques. This scene is when a alien craft crashes into the north sea. The crews of the oilrigs think it was plane crash so they send in a ad hoc rescue party to rescue the plane. The craft is a organic lifeform that has been bred for use as a interplanetry vessel. The north sea being a unforgiving place the poor creature has died and no sign of the crew of three. Unbeknownst the two of the crew have died and the bodies end up in norway. Whilst the solitary survivor washes up on the east coast of scotland. I would like a crit on this piece of work as I love the way the elements create a dangerous environment which is in human. This was done in photoshop using one oil rig reference the sea took 5 attempts at painting. This has come close to my vision and Qatermass and the pit will follow soon, please enjoy.
