Mars Attacks Heritage - Martians Approaching

Cards 41 and 42 of 106 sketch cards done for the Mars Attacks Heritage trading card series by Topps.

A yet another riff on Martians Approaching, card #2 of the original Mars Attacks cards set.

With a large stack of cards to do in a short period of time I tried something new here. Repeating, yet tweaking, images and playing with grey tones.

Mars Attacks cards first appeared in 1962, conceived and produced by Len Brown, Woody Gelman, Wally Wood, Bob Powell and Norman Saunders.
The Heritage card series is celebrating the 50th anniversary, which is now already reportedly sold out.

Mars Attacks Heritage - Burning Flesh

Cards 29 and 30 of 106 sketch cards done for the Mars Attacks Heritage trading card series by Topps.

A direct riff on Burning Flesh, card #19 of the original Mars Attacks cards set.

With a large stack of cards to do in a short period of time I tried something new here.
So trial and error led back to the first pair being the best, but without a colour background.
