Space Weasel
This is an image that has a warm place in my heart. It was an illustration done to go on one of my t-shirts and it was the first t-shirt I ever sold. The
design originally came about as an illustration for my role-playing game Tarazet, which is set in a science fiction far future. This design was an idea
for an alien species which would be part of the background of the game universe, but I wanted Tarazet to be a "realistic" science fiction setting and
the species of space weasels seemed a little too light hearted.
The extra pair of arms of the alien in the illustration was inspired by the Gronk character from the Strontium Dog strip in 2000AD. The choice of blue
for the fur was an attempt to make the creature even more alien.
It's a simple pen drawing, coloured in with vector shape layers in Photoshop, but I think it is very effective. Even though it is just a design sketch I
wanted to show it off, and it turned out to be the first ever t-shirt I sold. That was a great experience, to finally sell one of my illustrations through an
internet portal, it was Redbubble.
Of course I'll be designing more alien creatures and species, some more light hearted and some more monstrous, watch this space.
