12 Months Of Illustrated Aliens And Their Animated Planets - A Project by Andy Martin




Begun in January of 2013, illustrator, animator and music maker Andy Martin (Handymartian) has just completed his wonderful year long project - "The Illustrated Aliens."

Each day for a month Martin created an alien and, at the end of each month, he revealed the planet upon which they live via an animated short. He did this for an entire year, culminating in 12 different alien species, 12 animated videos and 4 posters.



Having revealed the final Planet Twelve animation on the 15th of January 2014, the galactic adventure has concluded and I want to share all twelve months of his wonderful work with you.

The first of his four posters features all the Illustrated Aliens from the year long project starting with Planet One's characters at the bottom and moving up to Planet Twelve's characters at the top:
