"ALIENS IN SHANGHAI"
 外星人在上海
This video is my personal tribute to the exhibition "The World of Tim Burton" that took place in Shanghai in 2016.
I was so amazed to see all these monsters and aliens that I started to imagine them flying around in the sky of the city, as the exposition itself was a real alien invasion in Shanghai.
I'm quite new to fan art but this time I felt like I wanted to create something to celebrate all that madness.

So, here the final result and the process, hope you enjoy it...:)
