I guess you could call this a reworking of my original "Hell Below Me, Stars Above" piece. It's the same basic theme and layout(astronaut on rocky peak besieged by tentacles and claws, blasting away at the advancing hordes), just a bit modified. I have a bad habit of wanting to continually go back and tinker with old pieces I'm no longer happy with. I hope I don't spend the rest of my life going back and revisiting the same bunch of illustrations.
This is just the pencil stage, of course. I flipped the original and kind of like how it looks in reverse, reading more from left to right. Haven't yet decided which version I like. Inks and colors to come.

We should work together! What are your religious beliefs?!
I'm...I'm kidding...
But seriously, I almost called your phone, I really dig this stuff.

the foreshortening of the gun/hand is off. it looks like a mutant.
The foreshortening of the whole piece is "off". It's a stylized foreshortening I'm going for. I'm not exactly a photorealist, as you can see from pretty much the entire body of my work.
would you finish this already
Holy crap Jared! This is going to turn into the masterpiece of your lifetime. After you finish it, you need to display all the versions you've done in a gallery. I bet it would fill the entire space ;)
What do you mean, take two? More like take eleven and a half. I agree with Erik- just finish it already! XD
Jared, I really like the top one.
But where is your sequential stuff ?...you need to be in the comics!!!!!
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Do you sell prints?
