Cordyceps Rat, art by Sherrie Thai of Shaireproductions.com

“Cordyceps Rat” was created for the Winter Wasteland Art Show at Syzygy Coop, Feb. 6, 2020. While Cordyceps seems to target insects and invertebrae mainly, I wondered what it would be like if the deathly fungus infected animals, particularly rodents (as this is the Zodiac Year of the Rat). With the theme of Wasteland, my rat has become a mutant, with eyes of the cuttlefish and worm-like toes. Its appearance encompasses a bit of zombie and undead features, with exposed bones and flesh. The artwork was created in pen/pencil, first, then added abstract textures and digital coloring.

The Aliens franchise has a new movie coming out on Friday and I wanted to take advantage of the fervor and inspiration to create a new piece. This tribal piece has a “throwback” nod to the classic 1980s movie posters with the incorporation of the vintage green glow, space pattern and digital rays. Below is the initial pen and ink drawing:
