cheeky alien invader firing ray gun at victorian man      © MARTIN DAVEY 2010 I do like comedy mixed with horror/ scifi, and this illustration took its Inspiration from HG Wells, war of the worlds. It is quite a cliched filled image but still fun. I posed myself for the man by taking a photograph and transferring it to photoshop, where the actual image was drawn and painted. The alien I have always thought of is more cheeky than nasty, but it is a fine line I guess! It is painted to A4 size, and has a slight tilt to add drama.
