Mona Yautja

I actually did this last year for a Drawing class. It was a silly excercise in which we drew a celebrity or well-known figure and portrayed them with the expression and pose of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. I suppose it was an appropriate illustration major-type assignment, but I think we were just supposed to have fun with it because it was only a 1-day project and we could only use drawing materials. For no particular reason I decided to draw the alien from Predator. I never got around to posting it all year, but I was reminded after seeing Aliens Versus Predator. By the way, a big "fuck you" to Paul Anderson for fouling up not one, not two, but three of my favorite franchises in a single blow... thanks. I hate you.

This piece was done on 8 1/2 x 11" bristolboard.
