Yep its another alien...
It's my first attempt at an "organic" character, and the 2nd character i've ever made (the first was a robot, not sure if i posted that here though), on the whole i'm quite pleased with it so far even if it didnt end up as i origionally planned!
It started out as a human head using the tutorial in 3D World mag and went quite well untill i messed up the eyes and noticed that it looked quite alien like so i've kept to that theme instead.
It still needs a lot of tweaking (and finishing of course) but i'm a but stuck as to what i could do for a mouth, i want to do something different rather than the usual mouth, maybe some kind of device or something with tubes maybe....

Model has been made in C4D, 10 hours building time (well i am still learning) and more coffee than what would be considered as healthy........

The cool thing about modeling aliens, is no one know what they're supposed to look like. So if you mess up, who knows? Now humans on the other hand are much more difficult. We know what humans looks like and you mess up, everyone know.

This guy is looking very good. I agree with xerozz, chest needs some work and longer face would look nice, but who's to say that is the way he/she should be.;)

The arms are very small in comparision with the torso, I refer to the wide.

Thanks for the comments! :D
The body itself was just roughly pulled so i'll be doing a lot more work on it as time goes by. I see what you mean by the head needing to be longer as well but i didnt want it to fall into the "roswell type alien" category. I have since narrowed the cheek and jaw area slightly instead and it already looks much better!
I'll post an update when i've done some more work to it :)

i like the shape of his head..its sturdier than ya usual day to day alien..id take this stronger approach further and give him broader shoulders and stuff..his head doesnt fit his body..if his body does eventually fit..hell be one scary geezer...his face even disturbed me a bit at first glance:)

I like the eyes the reflection looks really nice. As for the mouth I think it should be one of those little mouths that aren't smiling but just strait. He should also have razor sharp teeth. Just a sugestion.
Nice work :thumbsup:
