All that glorious skin, you tell yourself, all that expanse of carapace. But you forget the vents, dear reader, you forget that 70% of the surface area is tiny vents.

We’re studiously ignoring the vents for now. We’re working out skin tones in garish pinks. Gotta accentuate them brainpan wrinkles or why are we even here.

It’s a friendly space guy! Some arms are spread as though to welcome the viewer into a warm embrace, one is clutching the head of a pal, one is performing the pstandard psychic pstance. It is, for reasons of its own, also executing a Spider-Man squat on a handy bit of floor piping. It has a dark-purple basecoat of paint on its body, over black primer still visible on the pipe. The image has been meme-ified to include a ‘why just share a bug photo’ header and ‘when you can double-job as a temple-tapping meme’ footer.

A red-yellow tongue and some matching fingernails join a slightly smoothed-out pink-purple face blend with similar skin-tones applied to one hand.
Attempting to make the spiky bits look spikier using orange-into-yellow edge highlights. A couple of tiny, pure white dots have been added to the tips of the uppermost-facing points.
Some parts may be _slightly_ pinker, some slightly not as purple any more. Is dark red a possibility? Who amongst us can even say for sure? A surprising number of paint tubes (not even used here) and grip-tape-wrapped brushes are also visible. More than a normal number.
