Leah Comments: I know it’s a tie-in, but this is definitely worthy of an Honorable Mention. That lettering is not actually black, it is bright orange metallic foil. I think it says a great deal that the picture is an accurate depiction of the featured aliens.

mosquito_wenzi’s Art Direction: So, to make these aliens look really alien, make the upper torso look like it couldn’t possibly be connected to the lower torso. And you only have to paint one; we’ll copy paste him to create more in the background.
