31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021:
Mars Attacks!
Hey, it's the Martian lady spy from "Mars Attacks!" (1996). There was definitely something alien about the way she walked through the White House--I strive to strut like that through town (to no avail, of course). And the eyeball ring was very subtle. Very, very subtle.
The movie itself is pretty wacky and silly, and even follows some scenes from a few of the "Mars Attacks!" trading cards.

STEP ONE: Here are the quickly scribbled pencils, done on a toned 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock.

STEP TWO: The first layer of acrylic paint, again, just semi-quickly thrown down. I didn't have to worry too much about the shading on the body, as most of it was going to be covered by the spirals, most of the attention goes to the face, anyways.

STEP THREE: And the final painting. I went into Photoshop and softened the background. For some reason, it scanned really, really poorly. It looks semi-normal in person, but the scan was just blotchy as H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.

This was done with Acrylic Paint on an 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock, with an assist from Photoshop.
