The Day the Earth Stood Still personal sketches

 2001 personal project focused on re-envisioning the classic 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still.  Many of the sketches focus on Klatuu's landing ship and his deadly law enforcement robot Gort.  The goal was to create a whole new tech look for Klatuu's race, and I pictured the aliens as distinctly non-humanoid in native form.  If I were to go back and revisit this project today,  I would perhaps integrate the sleeker aesthetic of the 1950s more,  but at the time I was trying to go in an entirely new direction.
