This has been finished for about two weeks, but between the new computer and not having a scanner, it took a little while to figure out how to get a good resolution picture of it onto my computer.
Silly concept, I hadn't been able to paint for a while so I wanted to start with something relatively small and fun to warm up. Original concept was some sort of alien that looked a bit like a bird when resting, but actually has a completely different anatomy that's visible when it opens it's mouth or walks around. They ended up looking so much like peeps I couldn't resist painting them yellow.
5" x 7", about 8 hours, watercolor, micron, white ink and gel pen.
The original is for sale in my shop. You know, in case you need more paintings of peeps aliens: http://metalkirin.storenvy.com/
I can't ship anything until December, so everything is on preorder right now, as well as being 20% off. Only originals are available right now, I won't be able to do prints unless I can get some preorders so I can bulk order some.

Thank you so much for painting this, most people don't know what live Peeps in the wild look like before they are illegally harvested from their nests and slaughtered to be processed into Easter candy. It's so important to spread awareness.
(real talk: I like the weird fungus plant thing and I will take 100 of these weird alien babs please.)
