Hello my dear community, happy Wednesday to all and I take advantage of the moment that I am here to share with you a work with a quite space and alien style, it is about Thirsalya, which is a traveler and alien warrior who is revisiting the Planet (Annunio); this planet was her old home planet, and in which she, her parents, grandparents and all her past generations were born. When Thirsalya was very young they had to leave the planet (Annunio) because of a terrible attack perpetrated by a fleet of invaders that devastated and devastated almost the entire planet; after a long time we have Thirsalya back on her planet, with a slight nostalgia and anger in her eyes as she remembers what was once her home, and what it has become now:

PROCESS

I started my drawing with the idea of creating an alien creature with a slight similarity to our species, I focused on creating Thirsalya as a kind of woman with slightly reptilian features, I drew her eyes somewhat elongated and with a pupil like that of a snake perhaps and somewhat sharp ears; once I managed to capture my idea I just moved on to outline everything better to paint everything with greater precision. The choice of colors for this character was very complicated I must say, I tried many shades, especially for the skin where I tried green, purple and even gold; finally I opted for a watermelon red that I liked a lot and I worked on that.

I was building the skin with a slightly rough texture to try to assimilate what I think should be the skin of an alien species, I used many intense reds with some very very dark ones for the areas of low light and deeper; the eyes I painted a greenish tone mixed a little with yellow tones to get a unique look. After finishing with the skin the next thing was to paint the whole suit or armor, I used black, gray and a bit of white, and brushes with rough texture to try to create a suit with a thick and resistant appearance; this because it is a warrior.

The next step in the coloring process was to paint the hair, at first I thought about painting it a soft black or a darker one, but after trying a couple of colors I realized that it didn't match well with the skin and it didn't look very cool either, so I went to a white-grayish. Once the hair was finished the other thing I did was to start painting the jewelry that Thirsalya wears all over her body, I used a lot of mustard yellow, orange and white tones to achieve a kind of gold texture in the jewelry that the character wears in most of her body; and finally I took advantage of the moment and started to give shape to the faithful sword that always accompanies the brave warrior.

In the next step I only dedicated myself to finish shaping the sword with more specific brushes, I also took the opportunity to add some small details of wear in the (hilt) and especially in the (guard), to show that the sword has withstood many battles; after finishing with the character of Thirsalya I focused fully on creating the planet (Annunio) as the main stage of my work. First I was creating some rocky and pointed formations which I was little by little texturing and shaping them, then I gave a little depth to the background; and finally what I did was that with the help of the airbrush I painted some small clouds in yellow color to simulate a kind of toxic fog which covers the planet.
