IF - Visitors
I like to think that when it comes time for humans to be the visitors on alien planets we can all put aside the hurt feelings caused by years of probing, and be space buddies with the aliens. We'd be S.B.F's (Space Buddies Forever) and wear lockets in the shape of alien hearts that break in two so each S.B.F. has a piece to remember their bestest friend from light years away.
I'd want Yoda to be my S.B.F. but if he got too teachy with me about the force then I'd say "Yoda.. you're cut!" and replace him with my backup S.B.F. Chewbacca.
Who would your S.B.F. be?

LOL. Love the illo!
Hmm, my SBF would be E.T., I guess. Hey, we go way back, what can I say?
Wonderful. Love the drawing and story.
Careful of those space buddies. They might want to harvest you for food
Great work!

Alien conviviality but that cat doesn't look convinced! Cosmic fatasticness!
Fantastic work there, David! That's some awesome texturing you've got going on there.
My SBF? Hmmm... I'm digging on Ray Walston as My Favorite Martian but I guess I gotta say the monolith from 2001 A Space Odysey. Ole Mono knows tons of great jokes but he tends to dance on tables when he gets drunk.
dibs on R2D2 for my SBF! unless we can break yoda's alien heart locket into THREE pieces so i can join you guys! :)
love the happy scene you created for this...
teri-tomato
It's wonderful...great sense of humor and lovely color too. They look like the perfect space buddies to hang out with
always a treat!
nice bold colours.
Great illo!
ET is already my S.B.F., since 1982 or so.
However, if ET doesn't come back soon then Gonzo would be my S.B.F.
We don't have enough important questions like this floating around the internetherworld, so thanks, Pickledog.
ha! I love the little spotted alien!
my space buddy would be Spaceman Spiff, HE knows how to have an adventure
I think Sully would be my S.B.F. But, if there is no coffee, I'm coming back home. Great work!
Nice work... I really love the texture... it adds so much! I've gotta get more of that in my stuff.
Hey, thanks a lot for the Photoshop tips. I will try that out next time I post something.
your characters are always so great...and funny too!
fantastic illustration.. the colours and textures work well, and great character design as ever..
I think my s.b.f. would be the Alien from Alien.. a nine foot acid spitting alien would be great to have around in my work :)
Brilliant!
cool as usual!
What a cute, sweet, and wonderful illo! I do love your work!
Yes, I'd also have to pick Yoda as my S.B.F. Athough I'd probably tell him to ease up on those yoda-isms, "Grave danger you are in. Impatient you are. Draw better you must. Help you I can, yes." yadayadayada...
have you seen this yet?

so cute. miss your work, david. sorry been missing from IF lately....see you soon.
Huge fan of 3-eyed aliens, dude is freakin cool. Love the fact he has ears. Heehee. Awesome work as usual.
John I have not had the pleasure of the pickle-sickle, but it seems so wrong (yet so right.)
Can I take that little purple guy home??
Great stuff!!
