Quer'no the Invader: The begining of the end!

[Forresto]

They came from the dark void

where they offered out there hand,

but we were only toyed with

as the machines of war began to land.

We fought them from our homes

and in the skies and in all the land's bends,

which little did we know

marked the beginning of the end

Still we fought on as they burned our great cities,

they showed neither the men nor the woman nor the children any pity

We move underground as the Earth that once let us live

was the breeding of our hell

They may have the power and they may live in their tall, metal towers

While Mankind sits and in their hollows and cower,

But let this be said about the human race,

they didn't leave without leaving a trace.

As of now there are only two pictures but I will add more as soon as I draw them. If you have artwork that you wish to post (Catch is that it has to be either sci-fi or out there). Anyways to the art!

I drew this by sketching it first and then using gimp to paint over it. BTW almost all the planned drawings will involve the same alien Quer'no who is an invader turned ambassador turned.......well you'll find out

The Fall of D.C.

Letter to beloved: 11-09-13

LT. Dee Bradley U.S. Army battalion 78 unit 045

I write this to you dearest Annabelle, in the hope to say my last regards to you. The Greens have put up a strong fight, in fact such a strong fight we haven't been able to even halt their advance. We have retreated to Lafayette park within DC in order to protect the government buildings in the area. If the need is great, we have last stand positions set up in and around the Treasury buildings, White House, and Vice Presidential offices. I fear I will not see your sweet apple shaped face again. As I speak the distant drum of our artillery holding off the alien swarm on the city limits has silenced. They are coming and I know that the coming battle will not be a victory for me or my battalion. I wish we could've retreated further and maybe I would be able to see you if we reached Richmond. But......but they surrounded us and... I don't know, I just don't know. All I do know is that I love you my apple. See you not too soon I hope.

Season's Greetings from Ambassador Quer'no

Holomessage, Fenos time: 13-12-67

Ambassador Quer'no, Imperial Fonosian Gradana

The War goes well young ones. This Earth is quite a spectacular place to behold. Intelligence was recently were able to locate several of the other important Huumin cities and we have begun to lay "Siege". Hah hah hah ha! Like you can call it a siege. More like squeets trying to take down a quoall. They stand no chance and it actually pains me to see them put up such a fight. Even now as I walk through the ruins of a city known as Parii, hundreds of their flying machines attempt to take down one of our saucers. So much unnecessary violence, when all we want is to peacefully subjugate them. Ah well, what happens must happen and the city does look quite beautiful in the fire's haze. I will be sending along with this message, a Huumin skull and several of their latest fashions. Most of them are un appealing but there is one meant as a head gear I am most fond of. I believe it is a Baret? Anyways, my breek goes to you, both of you.

Glory to the war and the Gradana!

This is... Bizarre. I enjoy the story, but you really have a sick sense of humor ... The pictures are good, and I look forward to the next installments. My favorite would be the "DC" one, as I'm fond of Soldier's letters. Good job!

[XimenaPaulina]

You sure have some impressive writing skills Forresto, very nicely done! I picked the "Season's Greetings" one, much better artwork IMO, and I picked to attack the ISS next, since I don't want to offend anyone from London, Moscow, or Rome. Anyway great job on these and looking forward for more!

Yes I do have a sort've sick sense of humor Thank you very much and I should have the next one out soon depending on how the poll goes (I hope to get a lot more votes before starting on the next one). The story is going to get stranger just be forewarned

Well thank you very much. I was originally going to just post the pictures alone, but they just seemed so bare without the story. The story will be progressive as more pictures are done and the votes come in. Quer'no will sty the main character but I think that some of the other cities (I plan to do everything on poll at some point but the ones with the most votes get the highest priority) will feature other characters, Huumin, Fenosian, and......... well that would be a spoiler

Oh and sorry for the grammar problems, I wrote most of this last night at midnight, so I was pretty tired.

[Sisco]

I quite liked the grammar problems with Quer'no, it just made him look like he didn't know English very well, which would be true of an alien.

That poem is of top quality and I love it not being able to write them myself. Your writing skills are extrodinary as are your art skills, I loved the 'fall of D.C' writing piece. However the 'Season's Greetings' is my favourite picture as it is more clear and less blurry than the other.

Good luck with future drawings and I cannot wait to see more.
