Molecular Buoancy

Going through some old doodles recently I found a few that would make decent paintings, including this one, and an earlier post called 'Irreversable Modification'. Equally creepy, this painting entitled Molecular Buoancy, depicts an invisible 'ET' type character standing in a cold and desolate forest in the winter. Maybe he is just covered in snow...

I created the shape of the character without any actual lines to define his shape, instead I used the background elements to define his shape. The trees branches end where his head would be, and the bushes in the distance carve out is shoulder and arms. The reflection in the ice give the sense of his legs. To cap off I painted his hands and feet and did a few light washes on his body to give a slight impression of clothing.
