I chose Romeo and Juliet as my Shakespeare play because it's the only one that I knew very well and it's also well known so a lot of other people can recognize it. My initial plan was to make the two from different planets, those planets being Mars and Venus, Romeo from Venus, Juliet from Mars. But I decided to make up my own two planets so that I could have free rein over what species of alien they were so the planets are Planet X and Planet Y for simplicity's sake. Juliet and Tybalt are suppose to be a sort of lizard creature that lives on a very dry planet. Romeo, Paris, and Mercucio are suppose to be fish frog alien types so they have to have a reverse scuba tank so that they can breath off their planet. I realized when I created them that all my characters look very similar. There isn't much variety so I plan on making them less humanoid and more alien like in the future. Also more diverse because my Romeo, Mercucio and Paris all sort of look exactly the same. 
This is the scene where they first meet. Backgrounds and set designs are my weakness so they background looks awful but it's suppose to be an embassy space station where the two planet species can meet and intermingle.
The other scene I did was of the famous death scene which takes place on Juliet's dry barren planet. I didn't have enough time to draw in what the planet looked like but the point of this scene is that Romeo kills himself not with poison from a bottle but by ripping apart his water tank and dries up like a raisin. It's sort of like a poison to his species. Unfortunately I didn't get the third scene up but it was suppose to be the fight scene between Tybalt and Mercucio and it was suppose to take place on Romeo's planet.
