This is my first sketch of a mother and her unborn baby. What she doesnt know is that her baby is not from this planet.

Ok..this is my second sketch. I thought maybe it should be in an X-ray style..with blue and white colors? Only two days left..so now I have to start modeling. Ill be back in a couple of hours!

The main form and idea of how the alien will look is complete..now its time to add a bit more detail...and pose the model.

I added a second round of detail to the model...now its texture and rig time. I want to try rigging this thing in XSI..since they gave us a copy to work with. I dont know how steep the learning curve is though. Only 18 hours to go:(

OK....the rigging of this character really set me back. I wont have time to make it look the way I want. I put in many hours for a static image. Now Im thinking of creating a video based on this theme...
