Those are amazing Laura! And if that's just your first attempt I'd love to see your stuff when you're good at it

I tea-leafed your outline and coloured it myself. :P

This is the first time I've ever CG coloured something without a reference. All my drawings are based on something so I know where all the shading goes. This was much harder

I remember the alien dude. Was before Laura and I first met (in person) but were mailing each other. For the day we would meet we were to draw something. She was to draw an alien and I was to draw a spaceship. I got mixed up and ended up drawing an alien too!

Anyway the green bulbous alien is the one she drew. The one I drew was the guyver lookalike I posted in other thread.
