First contact... The man's perspective is distorted so the little friendly alien looks to him like a blood thirsty monster. Where it all goes after that... well, who knows?

Two images combined into one. In the middle the scared man, on the left the evil monster and on the right the actual friendly alien. Bright light from behind, hard and long shadows... you get the idea.

People and many aliens have found a way to live together in peace and harmony. In these illustrations you can see them riding a train / driving a train / getting stuck in the door of the train.

Being so busy and numb who would even notice a little alien at their feet? You don't have to look for signs of life among the stars. He's standing at your feet!

The title says it all...

1. A Woman and in her belly an alien
2. Billy and Harry at school
3. Human changing an alien diaper
4. Siamese twins... The man is angry at his bug brother for ruining his date with a dolphin. He just can't stand the water.
5. The one I didn't draw up depicts a wedding ceremony between two aliens and a human priest performing it.

These are all very interesting ideas.

Good luck to you!

If you ask me....the silhouetted Pregnant Woman.......that single frame alone is a powerful picture....

Because it can mean many things:

1) Interracial Love
2) Interracial Breeding
3) Interracial Acceptance

The list goes on......

Thank you... So many ideas (a million), and so little time. :)

You are 100% right about the pregnant woman. I find that the simpler the image is, the more powerfull the message is.

I only hope I'm up to the task of recreating successfully one of these ideas in 3D.

Ideas, ideas, ideas...

I think I'll go with the first one - Fear of the Unknown.

My vision of the friendly alien... multiple personality disorder / evil twin effect.

It shouldn't be hard to model. Huge eyes, eyebrows, fur...

Just playing with fur... making some eye candy. I should start modeling and studying the scene.

A dark and narrow alley... high buildings... a dead end.

Wide-angle camera is used to create the effect of claustrofoby and anxiety. I should pitch the camera also to create a third wanishing point.

Couple of cute aliens in the distance, by the ship and one alien close to the scared man (to see it in detail).

The ship casts a hard shadow of aliens on the wall. This shadow looks monstrous and blood thirsty.

Boy, does this model suck... :D

I've decided not to go with a furry alien... I'll use this guy.

I've decided the man in the back alley should be a hobo.

Finished modeling the new alien... I think.
