Sittin' On Top of the World

My entry for a sci-fi themed art show at ZaPow, the gallery where I show my work and sell prints.

Like many of my illustration concepts, this one came from imagining a literal interpretation of a common expression. With this piece, I thought it would be fun to take a line from the popular folk/blues song about maintaining a positive attitude and turn the meaning on its head. 

I picture these brainy-squid aliens as interplanetary nomads. Using minimal amounts of energy, they float through space and feed on the thermal energy at a planets' core.
