Title: What does she see in him?
Notes:
Marco, the chimp butler, pondered how he being of the 3rd generation (his great grandfather having been one of the first uplifted,) could be so easily confused by humans. He watched in curiosity as his mistress Jale opened her mouth in surprise at an engagement ring. He scratched his head.

Not because of flees, but because he never could understand these humans, especially their females: What does she see in him?

Here are the reference images I worked from. All are from morguefile.com, or are me. :)

Title: Final Lap...
Notes:
I am much closer to my goal. This is how it is suppose to feel. The background is close to done, as is the foreground. A few things left to do.

Thoughts, suggestions, would be helpful and appreciated.

Title: The Characters
Notes:
Having brought the girl out more, I returned to her suitor and fleshed out more details, primarily the hands and ring box.

Title: The Lady of the Night
Notes:
I reworked the hair 4 times and I'm still not sure about it. The face is on it's own layer as are the hands.

Title: A little Color
Notes:
I often wonder what my strong points are in art- I don't suspect they're perspective, proportion or color... so maybe texture? We'll see.

For now, here is a first attempt at color on the foreground. Thoughts, suggestions, critiques, would be nice.

Title: Revision 1 of concept
Notes:
Walrus - I love your artwork, especially Farewell Kiss, thanks for the suggestions... I've tried to incorporate them. I was noticing his hands and they're still not exactly as I would prefer, but this is still concept stages.

Thanks for the suggestion on flipping the image, it felt weird for a second but now it is settling in. I may yet switch it... As I see it, I like the concept of having the girl's reaction lead us to see what she is responding to... then again, everyone would want to know the reaction to the purposal of an alien.

Title: What does she see in him?
Notes:
This is my first mock up of my image.

I explored a variety of images on google and flickr before I attempted this drawing. Very frustrating. Many restarts trying to get the right composition. I'm not quite satisfied on the outside... especially the flying saucer. Mostly there to remind me to put something in that reminds the viewer this isn't our time.

In the end, I had to start over quite a few times before I arrived at this. Thank God for Wacom, and the Undo button in Photoshop.
