"Storm Area 51" was an unusual event that took place on September 20, 2019. The idea was to gather people who'd raid the secret military base in the Nevada desert and find out the truth about aliens, but it ended as a music festival and an Internet meme.
One of the jokes was to help aliens escape Area 51, so I started my own art challenge where my avatar saves a different alien each time, mostly recognizable creatures from pop culture. So far I've "saved" a common green/gray alien, a baby xenomorph with a hatching facehugger, Alf and T. Ocellus from the show Alien: Earth.
And this is actually a redraw of my original 2019 drawing, because I wanted to make it more similar to my other "alien rescue" works, as I found my drawing style later and continued drawing that way. You can still find the original in my gallery if you scroll far enough. 😉
The 2026 version is yet to come in September, of course. I'm planning to keep this art trend alive and there's plenty of comic book, TV and movie aliens to save! 👽
