Way back in 1992 at my old art class in PA I first drew my take on 1938 John W. Campbell Jr's "Who Goes There?" that later became the John Carpenter's 1982 film "The Thing" witch is my all time fave sci-fi horror film and I was in the mood to go back and try to recreate the classic front cover book and trying to making it come out very fateful to the original story.

Everything you see on the image are hand drawn on Gimp and very little layers as I could just two on the snow, three for the back drop the front snow mountain and ground the crash UFO and the back mountains and one sky layer for clouds and and back sky. and the thing it self is just four layers with two on the eyes. This artwork only took me half a day.

Here's a early pencil sketch of the artwork before I started coloring it on Gimp:
