I had an hour and a half of doodling today and came up with this.
I still may change course but until then my idea is a kind of Indiana Jones/Guardians of The Galaxy style image with a bit of 2001 thrown in.

So my ASTRONAUT who is also a SMUGGLER of extra terrestrial antiquities has discovered an ancient DEMOLISHED ruin of an alien tomb with some strange monument guarded by long dead warriors in their sarcophagi (COFFINS!).

I don't think I can fit any more of the random words in, but I'll try! :P








I really need to make the sarcophagus design look a bit more Alien-Egyptian and less like Vader. I also need to make it all look a little less ... rubbish. But there's time yet.

Aww too bad about your computer Charlotte, mines pretty sluggish too had it since 2008 :S

Great start Val, really interesting mood and atmosphere you have got going already, the colors are also working, I think it would be easier to show scale by having the character smaller, maybe even a little stick figure, that way you can make the structures seem larger, although i'm definitely impressed you're the first to come up with a pic surrounding those words, I think your good unless you want to be more adventurous! :cheer:

:blush: uhm yeah, maybe :P
I already tried it out actually but just for colouring some Aywas stuff (they have so many things going on right now but I'll try to get some regular painting done too!)

Thanks, micro.
I think my astronaut seemed to grow a bit during the first colouring phase. I'll try and shrink him back down a bit later on. :) Just trying to get the flashlight beam to look right at the moment. Tricky getting the saturation and brightness right without overpowering the rest of the image. Will post when it looks better. :P
And I think I have you beat on the antique computer contest. 2008 is good but mine dates back to 2003! Less memory than a phone. Beat that. :lol:

And it's good to know that you've finally got a working device, Charlotte. Get painting! Or playing games. :lol:
