Alien Landscape

Rocky

Colored

Shaded Rocky

It was only after I was half way through the first drawing that I began to question how exactly I'm supposed to draw extra terrestrial terrain. After all I've never been to an alien planet and have no idea how geometry would be formed in an atmosphere other than Earth's, so potentially I could of just drawn a bunch of upside down ice-cream cones in the middle of a rock that resembled James Cameron and it would have been just as plausible. However I suppose that would have been a little too Alien, so instead I took reference from already existing mountain landscapes (Earthen origin) and just made the terrain more pointed or curvy.
