This was another old piece of work I recently rediscovered. Like the Box in the Jack, I originally doodled bits of this project on paper and colorized them in Photoshop. It all started with this guy:

I liked the outcome and art style of the alien, so I decided to give him some surroundings. While  I was playing with photoshop colorization, I came up with the idea of procedurally generating  the background, instead of drawing it entirely by hand. First I came up with some simple pieces which I could copy & paste, flip, mirror & rotate:

Flowers and Plant pieces.

I then colorized those and assembled them into a background:

Overall, there is waaaayyy to much contrast, and waaaayyy too much saturation. But I think it works for the trippyness of it all. This was one of my first attempts and colorization in Photoshop, and this project is about 7 or 8 years old at this point.
