In my view the alien is really alien, meaning he comes from a different
solar system. However, some basic urges (like commerce, buying and selling)
seem to be universal :-). So, we are looking at an outpost or a colony of
them, probably not really appreciated by the autochtons who live
approximately at a bronze age / iron age civilization level.
I tried to give the alien a look that was fairly common to SF illustrations
in the 1950's 1960's.

Well, being an alien, he has a slightly different morphology. But don't be
misled! It is mostly fat, I am told :-)

That's funny, because the size varies randomly from 2 to 4 times the basic
shape. You don't see this really indeed. I shall investigate.

Yes, the grass needs some more work. Be aware however that the ground is
rather marshy (there is water in the middle background, to the right)
