Those who know me know that occasionally I am compelled to release my inner geek and create things like this. It usually happens when I am trying to avoid uni work, but not this time.
This is a recreation of the aliens and 'ship' from Space Invaders. It's located in my student house, on the wall going up our stairs. It began as just the three aliens at the top, but thanks to suggestions from ~Aegelward and =madnessism (), I added the player 'ship' and some shots fired, respectively.
It replaces a previous spontanteous decoration I made over christmas. You can see those here. :>
They're made out of one hundred and sixty-nine squares of coloured card, cut from A4 sheets. Yes, it took a long time. But I think it was worth it. I picked the colours for each one myself (with some more help from 'manda). The main photo here doesn't really do it justice imho; but it's hard to get the lighting in this house.
Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas or helped me out (this includes =Redu, +ninjabrick, :devspinegrinder [for correcting the title] and all the other friends whom i bugged incessantly to look at the work in progress).
p.s. if you look carefully you can probably tell i photoshopped out all of the horrible stains on our walls. they were here before i moved in, promise!

One of the bonuses of living with Iceh is that you can come home with a cold and feeling generally rubbish and be confronted with some of his spontaneous artwork! I really like this because it looks awesome, it touches my geekness and it makes walking up the stairs a bit more fun!
Well done on your first deviation for over a year! I'm looking forward to more sooner rather than later!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
