About the Greys

There are numerous races of Greys identified by the US government, ranging from different sizes to different skin colors. The Greys feed off of human and animal vital fluids by rubbing a liquid protein formula on their bodies, which is then absorbed through the skin. Like typical reptiles which shed their skins, the waste is excreted back through the skin. According to abductees and certain government informants, the following physical profile can be deduced about the Greys: The average height of 4 ft to 4 ft 6 in for the 'doctors,' or the leaders of the abductions, and 3 ft to 3 ft 6 in for the workers or 'drones', with an overall humanoid shape. Skin colors range from gray-white, grey-black, grey-brown, gray-green, and grey-blue. Their body is typically described as being elongated, and lacking in muscular definition. Their arms often reach down to their knees, and some accounts give them three digits, or three digits and a thumb on each hand. They have a bulbous, hairless head supported by a thin neck, which appears far too thin to support the weight of the head, which is dominated by large, (usually black) lidless eyes. Descriptions of Grey bodies illustrate their sameness: very similar bodies, with only slight changes in proportions, and stylistic differences being observed in their heads. However, even without sexual organs, the Greys seem to have gender, and are not simply neutral. The genders, however, appear to be completely determined by the mind, with the bodies being almost identical. This seems to point to a time of sex differentiation, which was bred out physically, leaving only the mental pattern to demonstrate the differences between males and females in the Grey social infrastructure. It should also be noted that female Greys are very rarely seen, and are reported to be sterile and incapable of giving birth to offspring. Based on the evidence of their physical appearance, the following hypothesis can be made: The Greys are descended from a dolphin-like or cetacean-based life form. There are several reasons for this supposition. The answer can be found in the similarities between cetaceans and Greys, using physical and behavioral aspects. They are Draconian, entities which are apparently soulless, possessing no internal soul matrix, which have been associated with the neo-saurian or reptilian genetic lines. A secret group within the government known as the Majestic Twelve, or the Jason Society, or the Jason Scholars, has given the Greys several large tracts of land in the American Southwest, near the Four Corners area, on which to build large underground bases, know as DUMBs (Deep Underground Military Bases). The Greys are considered a dying race, no longer capable of reproducing naturally, thus have resorted to cloning. However, with each successful clone, their species grows weaker, their genetic sequence degrades, thus leading to the reason for the abduction of Terran humans as a method of repairing the damage in their own DNA (or other genetic material), as well as adding new sequences to the genetic gene pool. However, it may be possible, with the genetic engineering techniques that the Greys seem to possess, to infuse viable DNA or other genetic material, suitably modified, into their own next generation of clones, thus creating hybrids and others much like those often reported by abductees. While some may say that if they have the technology to do all that, why not create the genetic materials they need and repair their genetic code themselves without resorting to abducting humans? The answer is very simple, and is a matter of economics: It is by far cheaper, energy- wise and time-wise, to 'harvest' the DNA needed, rather that create the genetic materials themselves. Why spend energy and time building factories, setting codes of purity, as well as finding a source of raw materials for the creation of the replicating molecule, and then reconstructing an entire, functional molecule, when there is a planet of six billion humans which do the job themselves, naturally? The strategic location of underground bases could make this far more economically advantageous, but even a civilization that is FTL-capable, traveling from a distant star, would save time and energy as opposed to massive efforts create a replicating molecule from scratch.




Featured here, are 3 of the variations of the Greys - a grey-blue, a grey-green, and a grey-white. I wanted to portray them in a non-threatening manor, as Hollywood has made popular. Contrary to the movies, the Greys do not seek to conquer us, but rather have more scientific motives behind their actions.

There were two profound things I had been told (or rather our class had been told) in two different art classes of mine. In one, our teacher had said that we as humans have been looking upon other people since the time of our birth and that we see them everyday, giving us an extremely well-developed idea of how the human body should look, which is why, in a drawing of a human, it is very easy for us to tell if something is off. It is not as easy to determine the faults in different animal drawings, as we do not see them on such a regular basis. This in itself left me wondering about this drawing. I have never in my life seen an alien, so what I can draw is based solely on eyewitness accounts and the descriptions of them through various websites. Although they may look alien to us, if an alien were looking at this drawing, they may think it looks nothing like them at all, or poorly drawn.

Another thing one of my art teachers had told us, was there there are many types of backgrounds you can do (drawing what's really there, drawing something from imagination, drawing something else in the room, doing something different like words or a design, etc.), but one should never leave the background blank unless it was their purpose. In other words, don't not drawn a background just because you don't like doing them. If you are not going to draw anything in the background, it should be your initial idea, your concept for the piece, which is precisely what I had decided on prior to even starting this. In relation to the alien space crafts, the white is a commonly known atmosphere within their crafts.
