I'm warning you, this isn't a color study; I don't have the patience for something like that. It's a paintover. I wasn't even born when the series ended, but it was definitely one of my childhood favorites. I remember it fondly. Now, seeing how it was made and paying attention to all the details of the costumes, I truly think it's incredible that something like this was accomplished and turned out so amazingly well. Even today, I can't believe it. I encourage you to at least look at the behind-the-scenes footage.


While researching the work of the creators behind the legendary "Dinosaurs" series, I stumbled upon a gem from 1996 that (I confess) I knew nothing about: Aliens in the Family.

It turns out they share that unique aesthetic of puppets and animatronics that only Jim Henson's studio knew how to achieve. This particular frame caught my eye; I simply couldn't resist working on it. I think it will be the last paintover I do; the truth is, I don't enjoy it as much as doing line art.
