Celestial Menagerie Expedition Earth

UFO collecting another pack animal for their celestial menagerie...

[Affinity Workflow: collect images from the USDA public website of farms, found some mules on a public free image, UFO from stock images, added more lights. used brushes to make the tractor beam, particle brushes, a motion blur effect on a mule. hand brushwork on cloud fixes.] --- took me longer to collect all my image materials than to combine them together.
