OK, so now this one is sorta funky...basically, it started as a doodle. Of the crashed ship to the right. The wing somehow got in there and I thought that was cool...then i doodled like crazy on the smoke billowing out.
Now I was starting to see it as a concept and came up with the idea of the cracked helmet...sorta like it just gets worse and worse with every moment...so I sketched in just the guy's face and his helmet and inked those in...no body, just a head, some hands, and a helmet.
Somewhere around this point was where I really felt it could be a whole drawing...so that about made me put it on the side forever "waiting" to finish it...i sketched in little pieces of it here and there...finished the guy...put him on a rock...planets in space...added the evil grinning mouth...some rocks... I really just built it up, kept adding to it as I went.
Finally I started doing the mountain, the big thing that was left...I went in all of these directions, making it a mountain of little head sculptures, but it was too random and weird. so since i doubted, i blacked it outed:) That huge black made it then become night in the sky(or sunset), and then i added the rock in the lower right corner to even out the page.
So I view this as a "grand doodle". It was never intended how it came out, was planned only in individual pieces, and in many ways was simply a dozen different drawings strewn together into one page. I think it came out pretty cool, but it was never really envisioned this way to begin with...

dude. i love it. i love the monster and it almost has a space man spiff plant sort of thing going on... love it. btw, hows my ink coming?
man, that was cool. i have to say i'm very much like you. i start off with a very vague concept and then i cut off somewhere in the middle of the job then go at it again, ending with an "accidental" masterpiece. those accidents, i guess, seem to be the best drawings ever. lol. well, that's for me.
