Fair
Seeing the movie, then days later seeing this artwork, I can see this could very easily be what had happened before the District 9 movie. Though this artist has read a magazine before the movie was released in theaters and had not seen the movie, he has succeeded greatly! The art style (as for shapes) match the ones from the movie. For instance, the Poleepkwa. During the film, signs shown the aliens warning them that they are not allowed. They style on the signs and the style the artist used match, making a more professional perspective. As for the colors of the artwork, it looks raged, old, worn out. The colors look like they have faded from the light (from the sun or other light source is unknown). It also matches the theme of the movie, aliens living near Johannesburg where it's hot, the sun is always showing, and poor (very limited in all supplies) like the aliens life style.
Though we may not know much of any details of what happened to the Poleepkwa before the film, the artist has given the basic story of what had happened which ties in with the movie. My guess is that the Poleepkwa lived on their home planet (name unknown) with technology greater than humans. A virus/disease had either came to their planet or they sent ships to other planets and caught a virus there. So they went looking for a cure. They might have found one, might not, but they landed on Earth by accident. The disease spread along their species, humans boarded their ship, took them into custody, and now in District 9.
Great work and keep it up!
