Day 10: Invasion of the Saucer Men - 31 Days of HELL-o-Ween 2019

31 Days of HELL-o-Ween 2019
Day 10: Invasion of the Saucer Men


Hey, it's about one-third of the way through the self-imposed challenge and so far, so OK...  Although, I'm a little behind schedule, so let's see how that pans out.  Argh!

Anyways, as a kid, anything with monsters, aliens, or space ships and I was all in.  "Invasion of the Saucer Men" is one of the quintessential B-Movies that best sums up my dumb childhood (as is "Plan 9 From Outer Space")--and it TERRIFIED me as a kid.  Now, I'm terrified that I ever saw it as scary.  At the end of the movie, the aliens are killed when the blood alcohol of the town drunk is so high, they practically explode in a puff of smoke when car headlights are shined on them...  It's a long, dumb story--Just like my childhood! 

Also, if you do an image search for Invasion of the Saucer Men, I do have to wonder if their ears are intentionally something straight out of YouPorn...  YIKES!  NC-17 for sure.

This was done with ballpoint pen on 9" x 12" marker paper--I didn't bother with pencils, etc.  I sprayed some casein fixative, which turned it into a bit of a blurry mess, but I wanted to use that to then use gouache over top.  Alas, this paper didn't smear the ink nearly as well as the Canson Mixed-Media did for "The Creature of the Black Lagoon" drawing, but I was able to still over-paint with gouache.
