Description

An old theme! At least in my mind since I first got in my hands the Stanislav Lem's SF book titled "Invasion from Aldebaran". That was in 1969! There is no some Ambasador from Aldebaran in the book. It was my idea to anticipate such a person. At the beginning I did the head of the Ambasador. It was bare and green. Afterward I put all the signs of his exelence, all the makeup. Then I did a proper scafander and above all, put the glass bubble over his head. Yes, additionaly I pumped some strange mixture of Argon and air from Aldebaran into the bubble. There was excitement and fun to work on this image. The basic portrait was done in Apophysis. It was pure fractal work. Background was produced in Deep Paint 3D and the result was postprocessed for long enjoying hours in PS. Hope you will enjoy this image too. Thank you for visiting and comments!
