I was recently sent a link on Twitter for a photographer that specialized in taking candid photos on his smart phone. Apparently this link let to the photographers Instagram page where he had a vast collection of his work. I browsed through his work — which is, for the most part, very good — and became inspired. This inspiration had led me to create a set of illustration of Candid Shots from Around the Galaxy (this is just a working title, suggestion for a better title would be appreciated).

With this in mind, I have searched through many “candid” shots I’ve found and I will work up illustrations of humans and aliens doing “everyday” things.

This image Wally and Beth is the first illustration of the series and was  inspired from a photo by  photographer Daniel Arnold. The characters were created in ZBrush (as I have demonstrated in previous posts – Meet Wally  and Sculpting Session: Female Alien Head) with the composite produced in Photoshop.

I hope you like it.
