:iconabiogenisis:
This alien mother is taking her young child on a food gathering trip to the edge of her clan's territory. It is the end of the growing season and the tough dryland plants are sending out their large, robust seeds as the last of the rains leave the plains for months.
The plants stock their underground tubers with water and starches for their long hibernation, and it is these the alien mother is trying to find. However her child seems more intent on catching a large floating seed as it drifts past on the dry afternoon breeze.

Alien Parenthood by *Abiogenisis
The suggester says: An explanation of the situation given by the artist in Alien Parenthood shows us the length to which it is not only just visually pleasing and stunning with the feathery soft details on the aliens and the dry landscape, but also shows us that parenting is time consuming and hard nonetheless. But should we forget the valuable moments spent with our beloved, for whom we go to extreme measures? The alien features of the duo inexplicably enhance the emotion that is surrounded in parenting and the playful alien kid, and the desolate place with less food enhances the emotions behind it!

Are the parent aliens incredibly responsible and loving for their offspring? Are they very fertile and as a result produce large numbers of offspring? Are they prized for their meat by birrins?

They look so strange, but in a good way kind of remind me of chickens. It's a very sweet scene, seeing aliens from another planet showing a bond between a mother and her child.

As proven by this piece, a mother's love is universal.

Oddly enough, these are some of the cutest extraterrestrials I've ever seen. This is such a touching scene, I love it. Quite the nice piece you got there.
