#mephilas

This fanart was inspired by the first contact scene of Mefilas and earthlings in the movie. His mysterious first appearance left a big impression in my mind. I also love this background music "L'invasion du silence" behind that scene- Just like its title, it's silent, and contains an eerie and unknown threat from this mysterious extraterrestrial Mefilas.

Mefilas loves such a beautiful planet Earth, and wants to preserve it under his control. So he asked the legal right of dominating humans. Probably in his head, there is a plan about how to use such a biological resource humans effectively. And perhaps it may work helpful for the earth. However, as he may not understand nor respect humanity in a truly deep way, it may invade human dignity.

Ironically I can relate Mefilas's act to our recent society, about how new technology invades our livelihood. Too bad it's done by humans ourselves, unlike by such a hot extraterrestrial as Mefilas, though!

About a drawing itself, I tried to put various colors in the building lights. The buildings in dark tend to be plain, but I hoped those colors to give them some fun uniqueness! And Mefilas's name card is drawn as silver here, unlike a black name card in the movie. It's because for making a contrast between darkness in background, and for relating to the new technology he brings: Beta Box. In general, silver fits Mefilas well.

I love Mefilas so much. <333
