If you watch monster movies...or Alien movies...or movies with evil creatures - you note that the people who survive exude a certain high level of poise and confidence. Those that run around screaming are usually eaten first.
I did these a little while ago - but wanted to redo them for shutterstock.
I don't think alien monster creatures will sell well - but I really liked these images. Originally I did them at the beginning of the year (or was it last year...?) as a possible vinyl toy design. I was really excited about designing vinyl toys - but that kind of petered out because of not knowing any companies to make these for me, and (when I thought about doing it myself) it was a bit on the pricey side for such speculation.
Next thing I know Dreamworks comes out with a movie (Aliens vs. Monsters) with a very similar blob monster. It even has one eye. I'm not crying fowl - because they've had the cartoon in production for a few years...but now my 'original idea' doesn't feel too original...
In any case - I did several colors of these creatures - just for variety sake. On Shutterstock, if you present options, you stand a better chance of getting some downloads. And, if you want - check out shutterstock - the approval process kind of turns people off (because you have to get at least 7 out of your first 10 images accepted), but it also helps weed out the suck and those not taking it terribly seriously. Not that there aren't still a lot of hacks on Shutterstock, and if you're one of these types, there's always room for one more. You'll still make money, you'll just be cashing in your soul...

These are all great. Nice color choices.
really like them...mind if i copy and paste them into a school project of mine?
I have them for sale on a stock site - so I'd prefer you purchased them that way - but if you don't want to, then feel free to copy and paste...
