We always see images of strange fear-filled interactions between human and aliens. We rarely see love relationships, in my idea I plan to illustrate both relations. I may possibly show a recent conflict ( or maybe a war ) and there is only one alien and one human left ( probably the human male is dieing ) and he is held by the female alien.

I am not keen with drawing so this is just a 5 minute sketch of what I wanna do :slight_smile:

Good to see you in on this one John!

Your concept sounds and looks good. I know your skill will thrill us on this one mate.

Ha ha! Here he goes! You and your great base meshes! :smiley:

I hope my base meshes are as clean as this one!

Very nice work! I like details!
I am eager to see more !!
Good luck!..

Wow, superior Basemash and Sculpting! :slight_smile:
My only critizism would be that her face looks a tiny little bit male now and her forehead needs a little bit work (where the Brows end, there it looks like she have a mask on).

Nice work so far! I like the concept. On the sculpt so far, I think the back is abit flat, especally the lumbar region, just a bit more rounding would make it better. Also, maybe it’s just me and I know you are just starting out but I think soften out the transitions between the area of the elbow going into the forearm would be nice since now it is a bit boxy. It is important to maintain that structure but just a bit more rounding out to create a blend would produce more organic feel. You have created some nice subtle forms but maybe smooth some parts further like the sternocleidomastoid since it’s a female?. Anyways, just my 2 cents. Wish you good luck!

#13

Really looking good so far. I`m curious about your final image. Great work.

#14

As per usual John, I envy your skills. Looking forward to more.

For some reason I am not getting email updates on this thread!

Good Progress! Your work is a pleasure to watch John!

#19

It’s getting better and better! Am I wrong or looks the face now more feminine? :wink:

Nightwoodwolf your modeling skills are very impressive. I’m not so crazy about the skin texture, but with the lighting and all, probably it will look great.
Can’t wait to see the soldier. Keep it up :).
