One of the things I get hired the most to design is Aliens. I suppose it makes sense, my first portfolio upon graduating art school was aliens, and its the thing I have the most practice designing.
I've done a lot of aliens over the years, but these are some of my favorites.
My thesis project in art school was to design an entire ecosystem of alien species.
Astronomers theorize that there was once another planet in our solar system called Theia that crashed into earth. My concept was a hypothetical timeline if this crash occurred during the cambrian era, with biological survivors resulting in a divergent evolutionary chain branching off from earth developing in a nearby solar system adapted for more hostile climates.

I had a client come to me with a super fun concept; They wanted me to create an instagram feed for an alien who was traveling around earth as a tourist. The job involved a bit of rigging which we used mixamo as the base for. But having access to a library motion capture animations was too tempting... I threw in a fun twerking video on the house!
A client came to me with a rush job; 5 alien busts in 2 weeks. They wanted an array of cryptid type aliens modeled, textured and rendered from the shoulders up. It was a tight deadline, but unreal engine ended up being indispensible in the lookdev process. It allowed me to iterate on the model and textures quickly, fix anything that wasn't working and see the results in real time.
