Draw Box - "Damned" Alien

Not everything I'll create will be awesome, and that's okay. While I may not have been able to impress myself and outdo previous work, I did have fun! Today I was given a draw box challenge, "create a monster for the game Damned." Personally the idea of slender grey aliens wig me out, so I figured I'd do that. Under one condition, I decided to stick to a monochromatic color palette, meaning one color and varying ranges of saturation and value. This was to hopefully get me to focus more on better values. Still need to practice, a lot. Master studies are on the menu for tomorrow.


The draw box challenge is capped at two hours, in the future I hope to learn how to better budget my time and raise the bar of quality. For this one, again I loved the challenge but the execution flopped.

Silhouette / Linework of the basic idea. Had a weird skin peeling back to reveal teeth idea. 

I could critique this for days. I think the most valuable lesson I've learned however is don't skip thumbnails. 
What's with the orbs of light? Something something teleportation, something something hint to the player that you're about to encounter the creature.
