[Asrom]

I'd like to participate, even if i don't have chances to win :(

[BizarroJoe]

I dig that lilac palette.
I remember I had a similar idea for thread, but with "Alien Mating Customs & its Reproductive Organs" being the theme.

[Starogre]

Neither can I...

I'm relatively new to this... Don't mock me.

Or go ahead and mock me. Or don't...

[sucho]

do the aliens have to be original concepts, or can we use existing sci fi aliens and render them how we want?

There are no rules against it, but originality counts for something, in my mind.

[Zyphonee]

A little look at the background I've done so far, but I think I'm gonna make the clouds more orange, so that it doesn't look like I copy/pasted from google images... I didn't, I swear!

[UMREE]

yey a new contest, ill be sure to whip something up for this one.

[LaserKarl]

Wip.

These aliens are having sex, in a public place, and its a deviant sort of sex that is looked down upon by their alien peers. Very kinky.

[Digital-Terror]

Something tells me I might win last place.

Thanks!

I was actually aiming for a cross between puppies, bunnies, and valentine's day.

I dont know what do you think, took about 24 min

It's a good general idea, but try to put some more effort into it.
Son't get me wrong...it's good for 24 minutes, but try a couple hours.

[x-factor11]

I might throw something in here.. pends if I feel like it :P

[SardonicSamurai]

I'm at college at the moment. I've got the outline of the two aliens side by side... Trying to find out how to make the one alien look happy when it has pincer like jaws and a vertical mouth that can't really... smile.

[CosmicDeath]

Initial sketch for an idea I had. These aliens are on Earth, disguised as humans and on a romantic Valentine's Dinner Date. It might be hard to tell at the moment, but they have shed their skin under the table and are holding.. hands(?)... tentacles. They are not just monsters, they are alien monsters. So show some respect. *wink*

I think maybe instead of doing the thought bubble above their heads, it should be more like a gradient change into an image of their alien tentacles gripping the earth and bloody heart. I don't know if I'm even going to go with this idea yet for sure.. Any thoughts/suggestions?

[SardonicSamurai]

I haven't finished coloring, so I just turned the color/ shading layer off. This is a basic sketch of the Aliens in love. Document is currently 5000x5000. Just made the canvas smaller and centered the image a bit... I won't be hassled with resizing, lol :3

I'll probably dress them after I get the basic skin color done. I missed you Photoshop ^u^
