Meet sprocket the cute, evil alien.

Any ideas on what he could be holding and what could be floating above his tail? I sat in front of illustrator thinking about it for hours and came up with zilch other than a balloon and well.. he just wouldn't look right with a balloon now would he?

I think he should be holding a death ray! Assuming he's truly evil :D
And perhaps, a mind control device can sit above his tail :)

lmao.. now how am i supposed to know what those things look like? :P

got any examples i can look at?

Uhm... no. I assume the mind control device is round though... whats the word haha, like a ball. What ever that is :D
Sphere! I think that's right :)

With maybe a bright blue light through the middle.

That's how I imagine it looks :) I'm thinking gray or black for the death ray... and smallish, pistol like but a bit wider.

hmm.. maybe a silver ball with light blue rings and a purple light through it (i like colors hehe)

as for the death ray.. hmm if I ever figure out what it looks like in my mind I'm game to try it!

Ooh, sounds perfect!! I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

lol what if what I come up with looks ridiculous?

in either case I'll try it on for size tomorrow and see what happens ;)

What does it matter if you like it? :P It's your alien

very true, very very true

my most ridiculous illustration to date is the man rocker, but it's still my favorite as it says sooo much about the opposite sex without saying a word *giggles*
