Planetary Beast: HD 1897 33b

I didn't think I'd ever be revisiting this old concept of mine, but here I am! How convenient that I would be challenged to make a character based on a planet when I thought I had long since finished this series from several sketchbooks ago.

I had to do some searching for an interesting planet. HD 1897 33b is a beautiful blue planet that to my understanding rains liquid glass and has an interesting atmosphere, so I tried to incorporate that in the glass-like droplets that form on its bodies.

I hadn't planned on doing a background, and if I had I would've done this on watercolor paper, but it turned out fine enough.
