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.
