A brief glimps-In the mist

My metallic alien creature again. Took me three days to paint this picture. I was inspired while looking out my back door during a mild winter's day. The warm weather created a thick fog that rolled in, making the small woodlot out back look quite interesting.

Basically I wanted to show how the creature uses it's highly reflective skin as a form of camoflauge. The creature's skin is made up of highly polished microscopic interlinking scales, giving it a sheen not unlike polished chrome.

The creature ISN'T a robot...and is NOT a blob of shape-shifting liquid metal. It is a living organism, a highly intelegent alien creature of my own design. [/ mini-rant]
