This is a bright and bold portrait of an alien that seems to have stepped right out of a dream. The alien’s head is shaped like a cactus, painted in deep green shades with vertical dark lines that look like plant ridges. Scattered across its head are round, golden brown bumps, almost like desert flowers or alien sensors. Its large, glossy eyes are striking black in the center but surrounded by a pinkish hue that makes them look alive and curious. The mouth is red, standing out sharply against the green skin, giving it an expression of almost human emotion. The background is filled with shades of blue, textured with lively strokes, making the alien’s face pop forward as if it’s peering out from another world.
