Sketched this a while back....got the idea from a phrase in one of my books. (the one Gavi's quoting about the phonograph needle)

I have no idea. XP It's actually out-of-character for all of 'em, except for Fox. Just a random moment~

Random moments are always fun.   ;D

Interesting Signature/avatar...
What's the signature from?
And, as for the location... that's probably a good place to be.

Nyahahaaa...X3

The signature is Alien, as is the tagline. Because Xenomorphs are THE BEST ALIENS EVAR! Next to Venom, anyway. =3 I think I made it too cluttered, though..can't really make anything out other than Sigourny Weaver(yet another name on my "Can't Spell" list) and that xenomorph in the corner...

In the center, there appears to be two skeletal forms fighitng...
That what it is?

The gold-colored part? That's the queen. It's just one creature. I actually have several images hidden in it. The moon/ship, Sig in the robot thing, the Queen, Sig holding the little girl, and of course the xenomorph on the other side. Like I said..I went overboard in the overlaying.

Oh, so there was a human shape in there...   ;D

How'd you make it?

Firstly, putting the images in a space-painted background. I pasted them in there individually, while lightly painting the space over them. (about a 40% opacity) Then made the entire image a pattern, after is when I put the latter images in, painting even lighter the other images and background over those.

It's difficult to explain to those who don't use PhotoShop. XP

To try to translate that to Paint.Net, as best I can:

Put the background images in (manually, and individually), put a layer on top of that with 40% transparency (that'd be 102 on the 255 scale), this is the background.   Then (if I'm reading this right) merge all that, and put the latter images on top, using lighter images and backgrounds on top of those.


Sound about right?
