Working color sketch for a personal series of bizarre creatures I work on from time to time.
Wanted to get some of these fleshed out. Scanned the original into Photoshop and cleaned up and did the coloring in Photoshop CS4 using a Wacom Untus4 medium graphics tablet.
this will need some further refinements to the overall drawing – not happy with the uraeus snake on the top (looks like a question mark!) and the tail needs some reworking.
Just wanted to share the progress at this stage.

Although not yet even an actual product, the Alien Abduction UFO lamp is quite possibly the coolest lamp of all time, at least for geeks.
Artist Lasse Klein created the concept art for the UFO lamp with computer graphics software.
The artist mentions on her website/blog that the more people who sign up for the flying saucer lamp mailing list, the more likely she will be able to turn this into an actual product.
