Alien Invasion Part I

These are a series of alien invasion drawing a made a few months ago. I used the cliched "Grey" alien, but depicted them in a serious way. The background story behind the drawings is that aliens invade earth in flying saucers and wipe out the world's armies, a ragtag group of survivors then forms a resistance group and fights back. The aliens are much less successful in dealing with the low tech guerrillas, and they find themselves physically puny next to humans. This adds an interesting twist to the typical man vs. alien story.
The earliest drawings are very rough, in some of the more polished ones, I was inspired by the art style in the comic, The Walking Dead. Only using black, white and grays, to achieve a black-and-white movie look. I found that style also fit with the 50s era type of setting I was going for.



The resistance wear "arm" bands (worn on the fighters thigh) labeled with the letter "Y". The idea behind this is that it was their response to the unisex aliens, the "Y" chromosone differentiating between men and women.
