Planet Six

Andy Martin sez:
“Those silly inhabitants of Planet Six take things too far in this tale of a petty disagreement that escalates beyond all control. All together now… War, HUH! Good God y’all, What is it good for? (absolutely nothin’)”
This is the sixth animation from my ongoing illustration project ‘Illustrated Aliens’. You can follow the progress of this project at illustratedaliens.tumblr.com/ where I am uploading a new alien illustration every day, building up to a monthly illustration of their planet. This planet was created during June 2013.
