Probing for Creativity with Ahmed Aldoori and Steven Zapata

Aliens have finally made it to Earth and these artists have illustrated the First Contact!

This month’s Proko Challenge was to depict the moment when humans encounter another intelligent species. Join pro-artists Ahmed Aldoori & Steven Zapata as they observe and critique your submissions. They chose their top 3 winners based on creativity, draftsmanship, storytelling, as well as humble respect for the overwhelming scope of the cosmic community.
