The background works really well; it's simple, but not overly so. The subtle changes in the colour of the explosion blends pretty well, though I think the top-right tentacle got caught up in the blurring a little bit. I was also a little confused as to where the explosion or debris was coming from, as there's no sign of what actually exploded? But that's not that big of a deal.

The face of the alien is by far the best part of it. There's a really nice shading in the eyes and the facial features themselves are nicely drawn. That being said, the rest of the alien leaves something to be desired; the legs are a little awkward and I can't really tell if there's two feet and a tail or two feet and a tentacle or three oddly-drawn tentacles...having some dimension to the body itself would have been nice, instead of all the limbs coming out of the same single spot. And in general, any amount of shading would have been great, as that little bit in the eyes improves the face a lot and just gives that realism...or as much realism as an alien jumping out of an explosion can have, aha xD

In general, it's got potential. Could definitely use some more work, but keep at it and improvement will surely follow.

Take your time

I think that the image lacks in the detail when it comes down to the finished product. You've got a decent enough concept, but the real value would be shown by taking your time in sketching, then spending a little more time in getting the details right.

For example, the tentacles should be slightly more uniform, with tapered finishes from the body down to the tips. Spending time getting this right is very worthwhile and will give you a much better looking image, to compliment the background. Perhaps consider this taper effect on the neck, so that the head looks better supported.

Finally, with the background, I would suggest that you work more on the rift that appears to be where this alien being has been manifested from.

ok thanks

Needs something

This was an ok alien but it needs abit more for one i think the aliens shape was abit off you should put abit more effort there and give it a more scary look, that would also mean make the backrounds darker and creeoier aswell

Anyways hope thhose tips will help you to improve

thanks man

No diamonds as well

It's not only that this is not Lucy in the sky, but there aren't also any diamonds in it either. Just a big alien that doesn't look too happy. Well, we can see why it seems unhappy, because it's spaceship just blew up!

I like that you put some clouds in the sky, that looks a lot better than if it was just a plain blue sky. Now we have something else to look at and the canvas doesn't have just one colour on colour on it.
