Alien concepts for AMERICAN BATTL... I mean WARSHIP!

I went through MANY iterations on the alien design for the SyFy movie AMERICAN WARSHIP starring Carl Weathers and Mario Van Peebles.
Originally they were supposed to be made of crystal... but the over riding design call was for "something that has not been seen before"!
Here's a few of them - roughly in development order.

BIGFOOT

Concept art and z-brush sculpture I created as part of the team at The Asylum working on the visual effects for SyFy channel's BIGFOOT movie starring Danny Bonaduce and Alice Cooper

Z-Brush practice

I have always enjoyed sculpture and I am trying to improve My skills with z-brush...

A redesign of the 3rd Stage Guild Navigator from the 1984 Dune movie, a bust of an H.P. Lovecraft character "Mother Hydra", and a redesign of what Tali Zorah Vas Normandy from the Mass Effect video game series might look like under her helmet (instead of the boring photo-shoped human photo they used).
