Hippie Alien Process Video
I finished another #dtiyschallenge from @jlin.art #jlinartdtiys2025
It's a hippie alien character for this drawing challenge.
I added a story element of this character playing an intergalactic guitar in a far out alien world. In my drawing, she likes to connect with nature no matter how weird the animals are. She promotes peace and love while caring about the environment. I like to incorporate my love or horror and sense of humor in my cartooning.
I'd love to anyones thoughts about my cartooning direction. Hope to do comics again one day.
Hope you all like it.
As a fan of unique art styles, I’ve always been fascinated by combining unusual themes like extraterrestrial worlds with familiar ideas such as peace and nature. In this hippie alien creation, I wanted to convey how we can imagine harmony beyond Earth—even if the animals and surroundings seem strange or otherworldly. In particular, using bold color blocks like 'color block 1261' helps create vivid contrast and depth in the artwork, emphasizing elements of the alien’s environment and personality. Also, inspired by concepts like the "dark side of the moon alien base," I incorporated an imaginative backdrop that blends mystery with a calm, peaceful vibe. The repeated 'PEACE' text in my drawings plays on a universal message: no matter the world or species, promoting love and care for the environment connects us all. Engaging with this character and story allowed me to flex my cartooning skills while injecting touches of humor and subtle horror—reflecting my evolving art direction. I hope to expand on this style further and eventually revisit comic projects that showcase similar themes.
