Ok well I'm in this challenge more to learn than anything. I'm pretty new at CG and I'm especially new at modeling and pre-vis. So any tips are welcome!

My idea is just a scared little alien on the hand of a human.
I want the alien to look warm while the background and the hand to look cold and sterile.
Any tips with colors would be great! :)

Well this is the alien. I have never modeled much of anything so I borrowed a body from a downloaded rig. Maybe if I have time in the end I'll try to make a body. I'm putting a lot of sss on the alien so he looks kinda gummy.
What can I do as a texture? any ideas would be nice.
Still working on the hand.

Hey José, nice concept, I think a micro environment and micro alien can will work well :) The designe of te alien is nice , maybe you need a more texture on it to develop in better way the character. Good luck !! Cheers mate! :beer:

Hey Ferx, Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm really having creative problems on what to put texture-wise on the alien. I'm going to have to find more references to get ideas.

I like your concept art. btw

Well, borrowed a light from a downloaded rig @ Highend3d and got a picture of a book shelf for the background. I'll model shelf with books if I have time. I'm still learning texturing so I don't know where to start. Any help would be great thanks. :P

Btw I'm Using Maya, Mental Ray & Hand modeled in ZBrush
