Invasion

Meet Command Sgt Major Ellen Rhianna Flagstaff of the battle ship Century V.

Originally intended for the contest (of which I missed the deadline )

*****

I grew up on all the black and white sci-fi and horror flicks and fell in love. Today's movies (though I still love them) still don't quite add up to the originals. When faced with creating a character for the contest my memory just kept returning to the classics (Lost In Space, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers, etc) I just had to create something along those lines. As I was working at the bookstore thinking of this I came across a book of Lempicka's works and the Art Deco period just clicked as a wonderful combination to my previous idea.

As homage to Lempicka I used her St. Moritz as a pose and also came across a hubble photo of the Eagle Nebula - both of which I altered to come up with this.

Considering I just finished this 5 minutes ago it is still wet. Once dry I will rephotograph and resubmit.

Enjoy!

EDIT 5.28.2007: updated image. this one is closer to the original in color and there is no shine since it's not still wet like previously.
